To hold or recapture the Sunfire Castle during a Whiteout Survival State vs. State (SvS) battle, your alliance must maintain continuous rally rotations led by your highest-stat players while all other members immediately reinforce the castle holder with top-tier troops.
Alliance Role Assignments
Assign alliance members to clear roles before the battle begins based on combat stats and resource reserves.
| Role | Primary Assignment | Requirements & Priorities |
|---|---|---|
| Rally Leaders | Launch non-stop rallies against the center target; maintain active march queues. | Highest combat stats, largest march capacity, and deep healing speedup reserves. |
| Reinforcement Members | Fill captured castle slots and replenish defensive lines immediately upon control flips. | Highest-tier available troops; focus on filling queues rather than launching solo rallies. |
Rally Synchronization and Castle Defense
Maintaining control of the Sunfire Castle requires eliminating gaps between rally arrivals. Opposing states can reinforce or retake the structure if your march queue timing slips by even a few seconds.
- Continuous Rally Cycling: Designated Rally Leaders must constantly restart march queues. Keep a rally active even while your alliance holds the castle to apply continuous pressure and deter incoming enemy reinforcements.
- Immediate Reinforcements: The moment ownership of the Sunfire Castle flips to your alliance, members must launch reinforcement queues to protect the center holder.
- High-Tier Unit Filtering: Send only your highest-tier troops to defend the castle. Low-tier units fill capacity slots inefficiently, leading to rapid troop losses and unnecessary hospital overflow.
- Troop Cycling: When defensive queues fill or take heavy damage during sustained battles, recall wounded squads, heal them, and send fresh high-tier units back to the center.
How to Retake the Castle with Counter-Attacks
Single rallies rarely break a fortified Sunfire Castle line. Use coordinated multi-rally strikes to overwhelm defending enemy alliances.
- Identify the Main Anchor: Open the battle log to find the specific enemy player currently holding the center target.
- Coordinate Launch Timings: Have multiple high-capacity Rally Leaders initiate rallies simultaneously through alliance chat or voice coordination.
- Overwhelm the Defender: Target the primary center holder with overlapping rallies to force the enemy alliance to exhaust their troop reserves and healing speedups.
- Seize and Fortify: The instant the target's capacity drops and control flips, send ready reinforcement marches to secure the structure.
Resource Limits and Base Protection
SvS castle battles consume large amounts of stamina and healing speedups. Running out of speedups during active combat causes your momentum to collapse. Members with lower combat power should avoid initiating rallies to preserve march queues and prevent wasted resources.
If your city is ported near the Sunfire Castle, watch for aggressive enemy players targeting rally leaders. Keep your base secure with shields or defensive support, and maintain clear communication through game chat to call out incoming enemy counter-offensives and march timings.

Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
Good guide for Whiteout Survival players. The strategy part was useful.
This saved me time in the early game.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
