Crazy Joe Event Guide – Whiteout Survival
Overview
Crazy Joe is an Alliance event where players can earn materials to enhance Chief Gear. Joe sends up to 20 waves of bandits to attack Alliance members. The more waves you successfully defend against, the better your rewards.
Key points:
If you fail to defend twice, Joe will stop attacking you.
You can reinforce allies to score extra points.
When all allies fail twice, the challenge ends.
Important Notes:
Shields don’t work during this event.
No resources are lost when defeated.
Wave 7, 14, 17: Only a few members are targeted — reinforce those bases.
Wave 10 & 20: Only the Alliance HQ is targeted — strongest player should lead the rally.
No points are given for waves that never attack you.
- Do not heal troops during the event unless you have them fully healed by the next wave of attacks.
Advanced Rules & Timing
Event runs twice per week — Tuesday & Thursday every other week during SvS/KOI/HoC.
Goal: Survive all 20 waves of Joe’s AI troops.
Defenses are successful if you kill over 50% of the attacking troops.
Points are based on % kills in your city:
100% kills = 100% points for you.
Reinforcing allies gives them bonus points without taking away yours.
Two defeats = you won’t be attacked anymore, but you can still reinforce for points.
R5/R4 can start the event manually or set it to auto-start.
General Strategy for All Players
Track Targets – Watch who Joe’s waves are hitting, especially on HQ waves (10 & 20).
Train Before Event – Use troop training boosts beforehand if you’re not saving them for another event.
Reinforce Smartly – Once you’re eliminated, send troops to allies who are still in the fight.
Low-Powered Player Strategy
Request reinforcements from stronger members.
Reinforce others and try to make 20 waves
High-Powered Player Strategy
Goal: Maximize both your points and your allies’ points.
Send all available troops to reinforce allies as long as you can handle incoming attacks.
Ask allies to send troops to reinforce you.
This creates bonus points for both sides while still giving each player full credit for kills in their own city.
Infantry vs Lancer vs Marksman
Infantry and Lancers are the main troop types that score kills/points in this event.
Marksman will not score any kills or points unless your Infantry/Lancers are completely wiped out.
If you can’t send all troops out of your city, keep Marksman at home and only deploy Infantry and Lancers.
Best Heroes for Crazy Joe
Infantry Tanks (Frontline Survivability)
These absorb the bulk of the incoming hits. Use your strongest tanks in your first Slot
- Jeronimo – Very durable; good all-around defense.
Patrick
- Sergey
Zinman – High defense and survivability.
- Flint

HQ Rounds (Waves 10 & 20)
Timing is crucial – Wait until wave 9 and 19 hits the cities you’re defending before recalling troops. Pulling them too early can cost your alliance major points and send to HQ.
Avoid delays – If members are spread too far apart (or someone’s wandering across the map), wave timing can break, causing delays or out-of-order hits.
Treat it like a defensive rally – Use optimal heroes, troop ratios, and tiers for the best results.
Relaxed approach possible – In practice, HQ defense rarely fails even without perfect ratios, depending on the garrison leader’s stats.
HQ Target Priority – Crazy Joe always attacks the highest-level HQ. If your alliance has unlocked and placed the Tundra HQ, CJ will target it instead of the Icefield HQ.
- There is a thought that you can protect HQ with 100% Marksmen for more points. All players would need to send only Marksmen as well. I don't know if this works as we havne't tried this tactic yet.
