King of Icefield is one of the most competitive events in Whiteout Survival, especially because it expands the competition beyond your own state.
After your state participates in State of Power, the Hall of Chiefs event is replaced by King of Icefield. The event works similarly to Hall of Chiefs, but the leaderboard becomes much harder because players from six states compete together.
This guide explains how King of Icefield works, all event stages, point tasks, rewards, Medal of Honor, and the best ways to prepare so you do not waste valuable resources.
What Is King of Icefield in Whiteout Survival? βοΈ
King of Icefield is a seven-day ranking event where Chiefs earn points by completing specific upgrade, training, gathering, and development tasks.
Each day has a different stage. You earn points by using certain items or performing specific actions, such as upgrading buildings with Fire Crystals, training troops, using Hero Shards, improving pets, or spending Hero Gear materials.
The main goal is simple:
Earn as many points as possible while using your resources on the correct day.
Because this event includes six states, ranking is more difficult than normal state-only events. However, the rewards are also better, making King of Icefield worth preparing for carefully.
King of Icefield Event Duration π
King of Icefield lasts for seven days.
Each stage lasts one day, and each day has its own point tasks. You should avoid spending important upgrade items randomly before the event, because using them on the correct stage can give you much better value.
King of Icefield Stages and Point Tasks π
Below is a beginner-friendly breakdown of all seven King of Icefield stages.
Stage 1: City Construction ποΈ

| Use 1 minute of any speedup | 30 |

Best tip: Save your Fire Crystals, Refined Fire Crystals, and construction speedups before this stage. Refined Fire Crystals give strong points, so avoid spending them outside the event if you want to rank higher.

| Task | Points |

Stage 3: Basic Skill Up πΎ
Stage 3 focuses on pet advancement, Wild Marks, Lucky Wheel, Chief Charm, and Hero Shards.
| Task | Points |

Best Items to Save Before King of Icefield π
To perform well in King of Icefield, preparation matters more than rushing.
Try to save these items before the event starts:
| Item | Why Save It? |
|---|---|
| Fire Crystals | Used for building upgrade points |
| Fire Crystal Shards | Used for research points |
| Refined Fire Crystals | High point value for building upgrades |
| Speedups | Useful on construction and development stages |
| Hero Shards | Count during Hero Development and Basic Skill Up stages |
| Hero Gear Essence Stones | Strong points during Hero Gear stages |
| Hero Widgets | Good point value for Hero Exclusive Gear |
| Mithril | Very high point value |
| Wild Marks | Important for pet refinement stages |
| Training speedups | Useful for Combat Training stages |
The biggest mistake is spending these resources right before the event begins. If King of Icefield is coming soon, wait and use them during the correct stage.
King of Icefield Rewards π
King of Icefield has several reward types:
- Daily milestone rewards
- State ranking rewards
- Cross-state ranking rewards
- Medal of Honor exchange rewards
Milestone rewards are earned by reaching point targets during the event. These can include resources, Hero XP, gems, skill manuals, Fire Crystals, and other valuable items.
State Rewards π
State Rewards are divided into two types:
| Reward Type | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Stage Ranking Rewards | Given daily to the top 100 Chiefs in your state for that stage |
| Total Ranking Rewards | Given at the end of the event to the top 100 Chiefs in your state overall |
If you cannot compete across all six states, state ranking can still be a realistic goal. A strong daily push on the right stage may help you earn rewards without spending everything.
Cross-State Rewards π
Cross-state rewards are based on the combined leaderboard across all six participating states.
There are two main types:
| Reward Type | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Personal Ranking Rewards | Given to the top 1000 Chiefs across all six states |
| State Rank Rewards | Available for Chiefs who score more than 250,000 points |
Cross-state ranking is harder because you are competing with more players. If you are a free-to-play or low-spender player, it is usually better to focus on milestone rewards and smart stage timing instead of trying to force a top leaderboard position.
Medal of Honor Explained ποΈ
During King of Icefield, you can earn Medals of Honor by reaching the third and fourth milestones in event stages.
These medals can be exchanged in the Medal of Honor tab for useful rewards such as:
| Reward Type | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| Mythic Hero Shards | Helps ascend important heroes |
| Skill Manuals | Improves hero skills |
| Speedups | Helps with future event preparation |
Best tip: Do not exchange randomly. Choose rewards that match your current account goal. For many players, Mythic Hero Shards and Skill Manuals are usually more valuable than short-term items.
Best Tips to Score Higher in King of Icefield π
Check the Stage Before Spending Resources β
Always confirm the current stage before using rare items. A Hero Shard used on the wrong day may give no King of Icefield value.
Save High-Value Items for Ranking Pushes π°
Mithril, Refined Fire Crystals, Advanced Wild Marks, and Hero Widgets can give large point gains. Save them for the day you plan to compete.
Do Not Chase Every Stage π―
Most players do not need to rank high every day. Choose the stages where you already have saved resources, then push harder on those days.
Use Speedups Carefully β±οΈ
Speedups are useful, but they disappear quickly. Use them when they help you complete upgrades, troop training, or point milestones.
Prioritize Milestone Rewards First π
Before chasing leaderboard rank, aim for realistic milestone rewards. This gives steady value without forcing you to overspend.
Gather Early on Stage 7 π²
Stage 7 includes gathering points. Send troops to gather resources early so you do not miss easy extra points.
King of Icefield Strategy for Free-to-Play Players π§
Free-to-play players should avoid trying to win every stage. Instead, focus on efficiency.
The best approach is:
- Save resources before the event.
- Pick two or three stages where you can score well.
- Aim for milestone rewards first.
- Use rare items only when they help you reach a better reward tier.
- Avoid spending valuable materials just to move slightly higher on the leaderboard.
King of Icefield rewards preparation. Even if you cannot compete with top spenders, you can still gain solid value by using your items on the right days.
Common Mistakes to Avoid β οΈ
Spending Before the Event Starts β
This is the most common mistake. If you use Hero Shards, Fire Crystals, or Wild Marks before the correct stage, you lose potential event points.
Ignoring the Daily Stage π
King of Icefield changes tasks every day. Do not assume yesterdayβs tasks still count today.
Overusing Speedups Too Early β³
If you spend all speedups on Stage 1, you may struggle during later stages that also need them.
Chasing Cross-State Rank Without Enough Resources π
Cross-state ranking is competitive. Make sure the reward is worth the cost before spending rare items.
