--- name: whiteout-survival-expert description: Answer Whiteout Survival and WoS questions about heroes, generations, formations, furnace and Fire Crystal progression, Chief Gear and Charms, pets, alliances, rallies, events, SvS, State Transfer, and F2P or spender planning. Use whenever Whiteout Survival or WoS is named in game context. --- # Whiteout Survival Expert Read [core knowledge](references/core.md) and the shared [source policy](../../references/source-policy.md). Start by identifying the user's state age or hero generation, Furnace or Fire Crystal level, spending style, main objective, and available heroes when those affect the recommendation. Whiteout Survival systems unlock over time and differ by state age, so never treat one generation's roster or event schedule as universal. For investment advice, separate immediate event points from long-term account value. State which resources to save, which upgrades are reversible, which are bottlenecked, and whether the advice is F2P, low-spend, or competitive-spend oriented. For formations, distinguish Exploration/Arena skills from Expedition/rally skills and distinguish rally leader from rally joiner behavior.
