The Hero Hall is one of the most crucial buildings in Whiteout Survival, especially for any Chief who wants to strengthen their city’s defenses and dominate battles beyond the city gates. This is where you recruit powerful survivors with unique abilities—better known as Heroes. These heroes can serve as guards to protect your city or be deployed as elite fighters to lead your expeditionary forces into the harsh wilderness.

Let’s break down how hero recruitment works and how to make the most out of every key you earn or spend.

Types of Hero Recruitment: Advanced vs. Epic

Inside the Hero Hall, there are two primary ways to recruit heroes:

1. Advanced Recruitment

• Requirement: 1 Platinum Key per recruitment.
• Rewards: Possible to obtain Rare to Epic hero fragments or complete heroes.
• You may also receive manuals, Hero XP, and other basic resources.

2. Epic Recruitment

• Requirement: 1 Gold Key per recruitment.
• Rewards: Offers a chance to get Rare, Epic, and even Mythic hero fragments or complete heroes.
• Similar to Advanced Recruitment, you’ll also collect manuals, XP, and other useful materials.

💡 Tip: The Epic Recruitment pool has higher-value rewards, but it also comes with steeper resource requirements.

Hero Drop Rates: Are Full Heroes Worth Chasing?

Here’s a breakdown of the drop rates when using your keys:

As you can see, the chance of pulling a complete hero, especially Mythic, is extremely low—almost negligible. However, the odds of receiving hero fragments are relatively better:

So while full heroes are a long shot, fragments are more achievable—and just as important for long-term progression.

How to Get Platinum and Gold Keys

To participate in recruitment, you’ll need to collect either Platinum Keys or Gold Keys. Here’s how you can get them:

• Exploration Battles
• Daily Missions
• In-game Events and Quests
• Purchase from Fast Development Packs
• Use Gems (Costs):
  • Platinum Key = 500 Gems
  • Gold Key = 1,500 Gems

💰 Pro Tip: Save your gems for recruitment during events that offer bonus rewards.

What is the Points Chest?

Every time you recruit heroes—whether through Advanced or Epic methods—you earn recruitment points. These points contribute toward filling the Points Chest meter.

• Once the chest reaches 100%, you’ll unlock Handsome Rewards, including Mythic Hero Shards.
• This system rewards consistency, making every key spent feel more valuable over time.

When to Recruit: Event Timing is Key

Timing is everything. Only use your keys when recruitment events are active, such as the Vision of Dawn event. These events often have tasks that specifically require spending Platinum and Gold Keys in the Hero Hall.

✅ Why this matters:

• Completing these tasks rewards you with 2 Mythic Hero Shards daily for up to 3 days.
• You’re stacking event rewards on top of Points Chest progress—a double win.

Important Note for Early Game Players

In the early stages of your server, the Hero Hall will not feature many top-tier Mythic heroes. However, as your server ages and new hero generations are introduced, older Mythic heroes will start appearing more frequently in the recruitment pool.

This gives you the chance to:

• Collect missing fragments
• Finish upgrading older heroes
• Build a more complete and powerful roster

🔑 So, save your keys, spend them during events, and plan your pulls wisely to get the most value out of your Hero Hall.

Final Thoughts

Hero recruitment in Whiteout Survival isn’t just about luck—it’s about strategy, timing, and resource management. By understanding the drop rates, knowing when to recruit, and making smart use of your keys, you can build a team of elite survivors that will help you dominate both PvE and PvP content.
