Whiteout Survival Train Troops or Promote Troops?
Upgrading your troops to the highest tier possible is generally recommended, as higher-tier units perform significantly better in combat and rallies. At the beginning of the game, you may not be able to fill the March Queue. However, there are several key factors to consider before making that decision:
1. 🧍 Troop Capacity
To get the most out of your upgraded troops, you need enough troop capacity. When you join a rally or follow a hero leader, your troop count is often multiplied by a percentage bonus. The larger your capacity, the more troops are affected by that multiplier — resulting in stronger overall performance. So, increasing troop capacity and keeping your highest-tier units ready gives you an edge in battle.
2. 🧠 Rally Leader Bonus Stats
The effectiveness of your troops is also influenced by your rally leader’s stats. High-tier troops benefit more from rally or hero multipliers. If your leader excels with specific troop types (e.g., Infantry vs. Marksmen), prioritize upgrading those units first to maximize damage during events or PvP.
3. 🏥 Infirmary Capacity
Avoid clogging your Infirmary or Hospital with low-tier troops. If your infirmary is full during battle, higher-tier troops may be lost permanently instead of being healed. Promoting low-tier units helps make room for your best troops to survive and recover after a major event or war.
4. 🏆 Event Timing
During events like Bear Hunt, Fortress, Stronghold, or Sunfire Castle, it's usually better to train troops rather than promote. Promoted troops take time to upgrade and may not be battle-ready when you need them most. Make sure you have a solid army trained and available before the event begins.
5. 🆕 New Tier Unlocked
When you unlock a new troop tier, promoting older troops (e.g., T8 → T9) is often more resource-efficient than training from scratch. Promotions usually yield more upgraded troops per resource spent. However, if training gives you a higher troop count — and your infirmary capacity and event schedule allow for it — training might be the better option.
💡 Final Tip
Upgrading your troops is always about balance — between power gain, resource cost, infirmary space, and event readiness. Evaluate your current situation, plan ahead for upcoming events, and choose the right moment to promote or train your army.
TL;DR - Train or Promote?
- Focus on training new troops early in the game until you have enough to completely fill your march queues. This ensures you're maximizing your army's strength for gathering, hunting, and combat.
- Start to promote your troops when you can fill all your march queues.
