Whiteout Survival SvS Castle Battle Scoring and Positioning Guide

To earn points in the Whiteout Survival State vs. State (SvS) Castle Battle, occupy the Sunfire Castle at the center of the map and participate in alliance rallies aimed at capturing or defending it. Position your city close to the center to shorten march travel times, and monitor your hospital capacity to avoid permanent troop loss during heavy combat.

How SvS Castle Battle Scoring Works

Points during the Castle Battle determine state victory and individual leaderboard standings. Point generation relies on active combat and map control:

• Castle Occupation: Holding the Sunfire Castle generates points continuously for your state over the duration of the occupation.
• Rally Participation: Launching or joining rallies against the castle or its active defenders awards points based on damage dealt and battle outcomes.
• Continuous Activity: Remaining idle while unassigned to a castle defense or an active march stops your point accumulation.

City Positioning and Rally Execution

Positioning determines how quickly your alliance can react to changing control of the castle.

• Map Placement: Teleport near the center of the map surrounding the Sunfire Castle before major battle windows. Shorter march distances reduce troop exposure time and allow faster transitions between attack and defense.
• Troop Matching: Rally joiners must send the exact troop types requested by the rally lead. Sending unrequested troop types weakens the march composition, reducing damage efficiency and wasting stamina.
• Support for Smaller Rosters: Players with lower power or smaller troop rosters should prioritize joining rallies led by stronger alliance members rather than attempting solo captures. This secures rally points while shifting defensive retaliation onto higher-capacity marches.

Troop Protection and Resource Pacing

Aggressive scoring must be balanced against army sustainability across the event.

• Hospital Management: Watch your hospital capacity throughout the engagement. If your hospital fills completely, additional casualties become permanent troop losses, impacting your strength in other game modes. Pause offensive attacks when hospital limits are reached until healing is complete.
• Resource Pacing: Reserve speedups and stamina for designated alliance push windows. Expending all consumables during the opening hour leaves your army unable to react during critical final control phases.
• Staggered Marches: Coordinate rally launch times with alliance leadership. Staggering march arrival times maintains constant pressure on the Sunfire Castle defenders without wasting multiple rallies on a single defensive rotation.
