Beasts and Polar Terrors are common PvE enemies found across the world map in Whiteout Survival. Defeating them provides resources, Hero XP, event progress, and other useful rewards for developing your city and heroes.
They are also the main targets during the Defeat Nearby Beasts event. Because every attack consumes stamina, players need to choose their targets carefully to reach the event milestones without wasting valuable stamina items.
This Whiteout Survival Beasts and Polar Terrors guide explains how both targets work, their stamina costs, event points, rewards, and the best strategy for completing the event efficiently.
Beasts and Polar Terrors Overview
Beasts and Polar Terrors are wilderness enemies that can be located through the world map search function.
Regular Beasts are designed for solo attacks. Polar Terrors are stronger enemies that must be defeated through an alliance rally. Both activities use Chief Stamina when you initiate the attack, but their reward structures and event efficiency are different.
Higher-level enemies generally provide better standard hunting rewards. However, the Defeat Nearby Beasts event gives the same number of points regardless of the Beast’s level.
Beasts vs. Polar Terrors
| Feature | Beasts | Polar Terrors |
|---|---|---|
| Battle type | Solo attack | Alliance rally |
| Base stamina cost | 10 stamina | 25 stamina for rally leader |
| Stamina cost with max Gina | 8 stamina | 20 stamina for rally leader |
| Event points | 1 point | 3 points |
| Alliance required | No | Yes |
| Rally joiner stamina | None | None |
| Best use | Quick solo progress and resources | Efficient event points and rally rewards |
| Difficulty | Lower | Higher |
| Coordination | Minimal | Requires alliance members |
Beasts are easier and faster to attack, making them suitable for casual players or situations where no alliance members are available.
Polar Terrors require more coordination, but they provide better stamina efficiency during the Defeat Nearby Beasts event.
How to Defeat Beasts in Whiteout Survival
Beasts can be attacked directly from the world map.
To find one:
- Open the world map.
- Select the search icon.
- Choose the Beast option.
- Select the desired level.
- Create a march and attack.
Beasts range from low-level enemies suitable for new players to much stronger targets that require developed heroes and troops. The highest available Beast level may depend on state progression and current game updates.
Each normal Beast attack costs 10 stamina before reductions. During the Defeat Nearby Beasts event, defeating any Beast from Level 1 to Level 30 gives one event point.
Should You Hunt the Highest Beast Level?
Whenever possible, defeat the highest Beast level you can handle comfortably.
The event score remains one point per Beast, but higher-level enemies generally provide better regular rewards for the same stamina cost. This makes low-level Beasts less valuable unless you cannot defeat stronger targets or need to complete attacks quickly.
Avoid choosing a Beast that is too strong for your march. Failed or inefficient attacks slow down your event progress and occupy marches that could be used elsewhere.
How Polar Terror Rallies Work
Polar Terrors cannot be attacked with a normal solo march. One player must start a rally, while alliance members send troops to join it.
The rally leader normally spends 25 stamina. Players who join the rally do not spend stamina, making alliance rally participation a useful source of additional rewards.
To start a Polar Terror rally:
- Find a Polar Terror on the world map.
- Select the rally option.
- Choose the rally preparation time.
- Select your heroes and troops.
- Wait for alliance members to join.
- Defeat the target before it disappears.
The rally leader’s heroes and troop strength are important. If your rally is too weak, ask stronger alliance members to join or choose a lower Polar Terror level.
Starting vs. Joining Polar Terror Rallies
Starting a successful Polar Terror rally gives three points during the Defeat Nearby Beasts event. The rally leader also pays the stamina cost.
Joining another player’s rally costs no stamina and provides participation rewards. However, players should not automatically assume that joining gives the same three personal event points as starting the rally. Check your event score before and after joining to confirm how the event is working in your state or current version.
Defeat Nearby Beasts Event
Defeat Nearby Beasts is a recurring personal event based on hunting Beasts and Polar Terrors.
The event normally lasts two days and has appeared approximately once every two weeks. Event schedules can change, so always check the in-game calendar for the exact starting and ending times.
How to Earn Points
| Activity | Points |
| Defeat a Level 1–30 Beast | 1 |
| Start and complete a Polar Terror rally | 3 |
There are four main personal reward milestones.
| Milestone | Required Points |
| Milestone 1 | 1 |
| Milestone 2 | 30 |
| Milestone 3 | 50 |
| Milestone 4 | 80 |
Reaching 80 points completes all personal milestones. Players can continue earning points after that to compete for leaderboard rewards.
Stamina Costs and Gina
Stamina is the most important resource during the event. Natural stamina regenerates over time, but regeneration stops when you reach the stamina limit.
Gina is the best utility hero for Beast and Polar Terror hunting because her Endurance Training expedition skill reduces stamina consumption.
At maximum skill level, Gina reduces stamina costs by 20%. She also increases wilderness march speed, allowing hunting marches to reach their targets faster.
Hunting Stamina Costs
| Target | Normal Cost | Cost With Max Gina | Stamina Saved |
| Beast | 10 | 8 | 2 |
| Polar Terror rally | 25 | 20 | 5 |
Gina must be included in the march that initiates the attack or rally for the stamina reduction to apply.
The difference may look small for one attack, but it becomes significant across dozens of hunts.
Stamina Efficiency per Event Point
| Target | Points | Normal Stamina per Point | With Max Gina |
| Beast | 1 | 10 | 8 |
| Polar Terror | 3 | 8.33 | 6.67 |
Polar Terrors are more efficient for event scoring. With Gina, one Polar Terror rally provides three points for 20 stamina. Earning the same three points from Beasts requires three attacks and 24 stamina.
Best Way to Reach 80 Points
Players can complete the final milestone through Beasts, Polar Terrors, or a combination of both.
| Strategy | Points Earned | Stamina Without Gina | Stamina With Max Gina |
| Defeat 80 Beasts | 80 | 800 | 640 |
| Defeat 27 Polar Terrors | 81 | 675 | 540 |
| Defeat 26 Polar Terrors and 2 Beasts | 80 | 670 | 536 |
The mixed route of 26 Polar Terrors and two Beasts reaches exactly 80 points with slightly less stamina than completing 27 Polar Terror rallies.
In normal gameplay, the difference is minor. The best practical strategy is to start Polar Terror rallies when alliance members are available and use Beasts to fill any remaining points.
Beasts and Polar Terror Rewards
The exact rewards can vary depending on state age, hero generation, event cycle, and future updates.
Standard Beast Rewards
Regular Beast hunting may provide:
- Hero XP
- Meat
- Wood
- Coal
- Iron
- Hunting-related materials
- Event items during special events
Higher-level Beasts usually provide more resources and Hero XP without increasing the standard stamina cost.
Polar Terror Rewards
Polar Terror rallies may provide:
- Resources
- Hero XP
- Gems
- Speedups
- Hero shards
- Chief Gear materials
- Other progression items
Rally leaders and rally participants may receive different reward packages. Joining alliance rallies remains worthwhile because participation does not require stamina.
Defeat Nearby Beasts Event Rewards
The event contains two reward categories.
| Reward Type | How It Is Earned |
| Milestone rewards | Reach 1, 30, 50, and 80 points |
| Ranking rewards | Finish in a qualifying leaderboard position |
Early-state milestone rewards may focus more heavily on resources, Hero XP, and speedups. Older states may receive more advanced progression materials.
Ranking rewards commonly include gems, construction speedups, research speedups, keys, and generation-dependent materials. Always check the in-game event screen before spending stamina items because reward tables may change.
Best Beasts and Polar Terrors Strategy
Prepare Before the Event
Save stamina items when the event is approaching. Do not consume them early unless another important activity requires stamina.
Check whether the event overlaps with State vs. State, Alliance Mobilization, daily missions, or another hunting objective. Completing several objectives with the same attacks gives better value from every stamina point.
Use Gina for Every Initiated Attack
Place Gina in every march you use to attack Beasts or start Polar Terror rallies.
Her combat strength is less important than her stamina reduction. Even when stronger heroes are available, saving 20% stamina usually provides more long-term value during repeated hunting.
Prioritize Polar Terrors When Your Alliance Is Active
Polar Terrors provide better event points per stamina than Beasts.
Run rallies during your alliance’s active hours so they fill quickly. When few members are online, switch to Beast hunting rather than waiting too long for incomplete rallies.
Keep Auto-Join Active
Enable rally auto-join whenever you are not actively using all your marches.
Joining Polar Terror rallies costs no stamina and can provide passive rewards. Configure your troop limits carefully so auto-join does not lock too many troops or interfere with other activities.
Avoid Sitting at Maximum Stamina
Natural regeneration is wasted while your stamina is full.
Spend enough stamina before logging off so it can regenerate while you are away. This is especially useful before sleeping during the first day of the event.
Use High-Level Targets
Defeat the highest Beast or Polar Terror level that your march or alliance can clear reliably.
The event points may remain the same, but stronger targets generally provide better normal rewards. This increases the total value received from the stamina you were already planning to spend.
Coordinate Around State vs. State
If Defeat Nearby Beasts overlaps with a State vs. State Beast-hunting objective, review both scoring systems before attacking.
Higher-level Beasts may provide better State vs. State points, while Polar Terrors are usually more stamina-efficient for the Defeat Nearby Beasts milestones. Balance your targets according to which rewards and ranking positions matter more.
Recommended Event Priority
| Player Situation | Recommended Approach |
| New player | Hunt manageable Beasts and join alliance rallies |
| Active alliance member | Start Polar Terror rallies with Gina |
| Limited stamina | Prioritize Polar Terrors |
| Limited playtime | Use Beasts for quick progress |
| Strong SvS competitor | Hunt qualifying high-level Beasts when scoring overlaps |
| F2P player | Complete milestones and avoid unnecessary ranking competition |
| Heavy spender | Use saved stamina only if leaderboard rewards justify the cost |
For most players, completing the 80-point milestone is the sensible stopping point. Continuing beyond 80 points should depend on the leaderboard rewards and the amount of stamina required to maintain a competitive rank.
Mistakes to Avoid
Hunting Without Gina
Repeated attacks without Gina consume significantly more stamina. This is one of the most common and avoidable hunting mistakes.
Using Only Beasts for All 80 Points
Beasts are convenient, but completing the event entirely through solo hunting costs more stamina than using Polar Terror rallies.
Attacking Low-Level Targets Unnecessarily
Low-level targets give the same event points but generally provide weaker standard rewards. Hunt higher levels when your march can defeat them safely.
Letting Stamina Stay Full
Sitting at the stamina cap prevents natural regeneration. Spend stamina before long periods away from the game.
Starting Rallies When Nobody Is Online
An unfilled Polar Terror rally wastes time and may fail against stronger targets. Start rallies during active alliance periods whenever possible.
Spending Too Many Stamina Items for Ranking
Leaderboard competition can become expensive. Compare the next ranking reward with the stamina items required before continuing beyond the final milestone.
Assuming Rally Joining Gives Event Points
Joining rallies is valuable for free participation rewards, but personal event scoring may be tied to initiating the rally. Test it in your own state before building your strategy around auto-join points.
