To place high in the Whiteout Survival State of Power event, hoard your upgrade materials during normal play and execute high-value progression—specifically pet advancements using Wildmarks and structure upgrades using Refined Fire Crystals—only when designated event scoring windows open.

State of Power Resource Timing

The State of Power event rewards spending materials in concentrated bursts rather than making routine minor upgrades. Daily gameplay provides a steady flow of growth items, but spending them immediately forfeits event points.

Complete daily tasks to accumulate materials, but hold off on spending heavy resource reserves until their matching event phases unlock. Upgrading in large bursts during active scoring periods pushes your rank past players who spend materials incrementally throughout the week.

Pet Progression and Wildmark Allocation

Pets account for a large portion of event points during pet upgrade phases. To maximize the point return from your Wildmarks:

  • Focus on a single primary pet: Spreading Wildmarks across your entire pet roster yields lower overall value. Concentrating materials on your strongest pet unlocks major skill milestones that offer stronger efficiency bonuses and higher point bursts.
  • Target breakthrough thresholds: Calculate the exact amount of Wildmarks and secondary advancement items needed to reach the next milestone. Save your materials until you can complete the full upgrade tier during the event window to avoid falling short of point thresholds.

Refined Fire Crystal and Furnace Upgrades

Refined Fire Crystals provide major power gains during late-game progression and serve as primary point drivers during building development phases.

  • Prioritize the Furnace: Channel your Refined Fire Crystals into Furnace upgrades first. Furnace levels yield the largest power gains per upgrade cycle, translating directly into larger event score increases.
  • Sync building completions: Time major building upgrades so they complete inside the active State of Power scoring window. Avoid spending crystals on low-impact minor buildings if doing so prevents you from reaching a major Furnace tier during the event.

Progression Trade-Offs

Holding resources like Wildmarks and Refined Fire Crystals temporarily slows your day-to-day power growth between events. However, securing a top rank in State of Power yields high-value rewards, such as shards, speed-ups, and rare materials, that outweigh short-term delays. If you are far from a major pet or Furnace breakthrough, hold your materials until you have accumulated enough resources to reach a higher reward tier in a future event window.
