Whiteout Survival Gen 14: how to attack each garrison

New here? How it works

Counters and captains built against the exact enemy wall you face. Buffs of the same category add; different categories multiply — so unique buffs win. The rally leader's 3 heroes use all their expedition skills + weapon; each joiner counts only its first hero's first (top-right) skill.

📘 Joiners guide — which first skill to send
In a rally only each joiner's FIRST hero counts, and only the 4 joiners with the highest first-skill level (ties go to whoever joined first). Send the hero whose first skill adds a buff category the leaders do not already have: the same category adds, different categories multiply. Ranked here as the first joiner added to the best leader trio of your generation.
🐻 Bear trap formations — best marksman Attack & Lethality per generation
Bear trap is a pure damage race: no need to survive. Rally leaders send 10/10/80 (infantry/lancer/marksman) and joiners send mostly marksmen (90-100%). Heroes are picked to maximize marksman damage (Attack and Lethality first, then the buffs that multiply with them): the leader's three heroes use all skills and weapons, each joiner counts only the first hero's first skill.
Leader march 10/10/80 · Joiners 90-100% marksmen

Planner result for Gen 14 (equal gear): against a 60/40/0 garrison, a ratio some guides name for castle garrisons, attack with 50/0/50 (infantry/lancer/marksman) and rally leaders Elif, Karol, Ligeia. Against an infantry wall (70/10/20) use 38/10/52; against a balanced garrison (50/5/45) use 45/12/43 with rally leaders Elif, Dominic, Ligeia and joiners Jeronimo, Reina, Bradley, Blanchette; against a marksman wall (20/10/70) use 52/44/4; against a lancer-heavy garrison (20/55/25) use 69/10/21. All six garrison types are in the table below.

How to use this table

  • Find the garrison's troop split (infantry / lancer / marksman) and pick the closest row. Rough match, not a planner result: a 60/20/20 garrison is closest to the Infantry-heavy row; 60/30/10 and 70/30/0 garrisons are closest to the No marksmen row (60/40/0). Enter the exact split in the planner for a precise answer.
  • Rows with 0% of a troop type: some Bear Trap and Labyrinth guides keep 3-5% of each type so that hero's skills trigger; no castle source confirms this, so check it on your own battle report.
  • Send your troops in the split shown. It leans on the troop type that counters the garrison's main troops: Infantry beats Lancer, Lancer beats Marksman, Marksman beats Infantry.
  • The rally leader's three heroes (infantry, lancer, marksman) are picked together as a team: they use all their expedition skills and the exclusive weapon.
  • Each joiner adds only the first expedition skill of their first hero, and only the 4 joiners with the highest first-skill level count. Duplicates are allowed. The joiners shown fit the split in each row, so they can differ slightly from the general ranking in the joiners guide.
  • These are baseline answers for a full roster and equal gear. Open the planner at the top of this page for your exact enemy, heroes and troop tier.
