Investing in your heroes in Whiteout Survival is crucial but there are some pitfalls that you have to know about or you can end up slowing your progress down by a lot – with every generation your server grows, new heroes will be added and investing in Exclusive Gear of a hero that becomes less useful might be a huge mistake.
For this reason, I have created a tier list below that helps you understand what heroes you’re aiming for to max out and which ones you will probably replace sooner or later in Whiteout Survival.

The Best Heroes in Whiteout Survival
Before we get into the list, please undertand some fundamental things about heroes and servers in Whiteout Survival. The age of your server determines what heroes are available to you, so you will see the heroes in the tier list below ordered by generations.
A rough overview of the generations is:
- 1st generation server are younger than 40 days
- 2nd generation server are older than 40 days
- 3rd generation server are older than 120 days
- 4th generation server are older than 200 days
- 5th generation server are older than 280 days
- 6th generation server are older than 360 days
- 7th generation server are older than 440 days
- 8th generation server are older than 520 days
- 9th generation server are older than 600 days
- 10th generation server are older than 680 days
- 11th generation server are older than 760 days
This means, new heroes become available to your server after about 5-6 Lucky Wheels (every 80 days) and that means that the newer heroes normally will change the roaster of heroes. To read the tier list below correctly, you have to check what heroes are available on your server and what generation your server is and then look at the section to see the correct ranking of the heroes. Amazing heroes on 1st generation servers in Whiteout Survival aren’t that great on 5th generation servers anymore and so on…
But that also means that it is hard to say “this is the best hero” or “build this hero” since newer heroes are typically stronger but you can’t just wait it out until they are available. For this reason our list below is sorted by the Generation a hero is released in but also showing how a hero performs in a later generation. So if you build a Generation 3 hero to see how many generations that hero will actually be viable in Whiteout Survival.
Update! Added first preview for new Generation 11 heroes + main ranking to overview how well heroes do in their generation of release

Conclusion

The bars are gone, now it’s just a list of heroes and in which gen they are, but no comparison or a tier list, i don’t get it.
Have you tried to click the button next to each character that says “Details”? If you do, there is the full description showing like it used to be, nothing is gone 🙂
Alonso is not infantry
Love what you did with the bars relative respective Generation you are playing in.
Two improvements I would like to suggest.
1) include percentage number for easier comparison.
2) separate bars for exploration and expedition.
Thanks for all your hard work.
Your feedback made my day, thank you so much! I will see how we can incorporate this into the list!
Would still be good to know which Heros come out in which Gen release
