Whiteout Survival Reina Guide: Skills, Stats, Exclusive Gear, and Best Use

Reina is a Legendary Lancer hero in Whiteout Survival who specializes in area damage, control effects, normal attacks, and rally support. Her skills allow her to pressure multiple enemies in Exploration while improving the offensive performance of troops in Expedition battles.

She is especially useful for players who need a combat-focused Lancer for Arena, rallies, Bear Hunt, and large-scale PvP. This Whiteout Survival Reina guide covers her stats, skills, shard requirements, exclusive gear, upgrade priorities, and best uses.

Reina Overview

Reina is a Generation 4 Legendary Lancer hero with the Combat subclass. Her kit focuses on area-of-effect damage, immobilizing enemy heroes, avoiding normal attacks, and increasing troop damage.

Detail	Reina Information
Rarity	Legendary
Class	Lancer
Subclass	Combat
Hero Generation	Generation 4
Main Role	Damage, control, and rally support
Best Modes	Exploration, Arena, Bear Hunt, rallies, and PvP
Exclusive Gear	Ninjaken – Raikiri
Main Strengths	Area damage, immobilization, normal attack bonuses, and rally Lethality
Main Weakness	Several effects depend on activation chances

Reina provides both personal damage and formation-wide bonuses. In Exploration, she attacks groups of enemies and can immobilize important targets. In Expedition, she improves normal attack damage, gives troops a chance to dodge attacks, and allows Lancers to perform additional strikes.

Her exclusive gear also provides a rally Lethality bonus, making her particularly valuable for offensive rally formations.

Reina Stats

Reina has balanced Exploration Attack and Defense, supported by a large Health pool. Her Expedition stats provide equal Attack and Defense bonuses.

Exploration Stats

Stat	Maximum Value
Attack	4,106
Defense	4,106
Health	41,070

Expedition Stats

Stat	Maximum Value
Attack	370.29%
Defense	370.29%

Her balanced Exploration stats allow her to deal damage while surviving long enough to activate her skills. However, she is not a replacement for a dedicated Infantry tank and should usually be supported by a durable frontline hero.

In Expedition, the balanced Attack and Defense bonuses make Reina useful in both offensive and defensive troop formations. Her strongest value still comes from attacking because several parts of her kit increase normal attack and rally damage.

How to Unlock Reina in Whiteout Survival

Reina becomes available during the Generation 4 hero period. Generation 4 heroes normally begin appearing when a state reaches the appropriate age, although exact timing can vary between states.

Players can obtain Reina shards through:

• Hall of Heroes
• Daily Deals
• Mythic General Hero Shards after unlocking her
• Limited events or offers when available

Hall of Heroes is the main opportunity for many players to unlock and develop Reina. Players planning to use her should save the required event currency and general hero shards before she becomes available.

Daily Deals can provide additional shards, but this method usually requires consistent purchases over time.

Unlocking Reina alone does not guarantee that she will outperform a developed older hero. She needs enough stars, skill levels, hero gear, and exclusive equipment investment to become competitive.

Reina Shard Requirements

Reina requires an increasing number of shards as she progresses through each star level.

Star Progression	Total Shards Required for the Stage
First star stage	10
Second star stage	40
Third star stage	115
Fourth star stage	300
Fifth star stage	600

Each star contains several smaller tiers. Players must complete every tier before advancing to the next full star.

Recommended Reina Star Targets

Star Target	Recommendation
Unlock only	Suitable for collection and limited use
2 stars	Usually too weak for a main formation
3 stars	Usable in secondary formations
4 stars	Strong target for regular combat use
5 stars	Maximum stats and long-term performance

For most players, 4 stars is a practical target if Reina will become part of the main combat formation. A 5-star Reina provides better stats, but the additional shard cost is significant.

Players with limited general shards should compare Reina with their current Lancer before committing. A fully developed older hero may remain stronger than a low-star Reina.

Reina Exploration Skills

Reina has three Exploration skills. They focus on area damage, avoiding attacks, and controlling enemy heroes.

Phantom Assault

Reina creates an illusion that ambushes enemy forces from behind, dealing area-of-effect damage.

Skill Level	Area Damage
Level 1	300% Attack
Level 2	330% Attack
Level 3	360% Attack
Level 4	390% Attack
Level 5	420% Attack

Phantom Assault is Reina’s main Exploration damage skill. Its high damage multiplier allows her to pressure several enemies with a single activation.

Because the attack reaches enemies from behind, it can be useful against formations that protect their damage dealers with strong frontline heroes. Increasing the skill level provides a direct and reliable damage improvement.

Vanishing Technique

When Reina receives a normal attack, she has a chance to confuse the opponent with an illusion and dodge the damage.

Skill Level	Dodge Chance
Level 1	5%
Level 2	10%
Level 3	15%
Level 4	20%
Level 5	25%

Vanishing Technique improves Reina’s survivability against normal attacks. At Level 5, she has a 25% chance to avoid the damage from an incoming normal attack.

The skill does not guarantee protection from every attack. It is also less effective against enemies that rely heavily on skill damage instead of normal attacks.

However, successful dodges can allow Reina to remain active longer and activate Phantom Assault more frequently.

Poison of Demon

Reina inflicts an illusion on an enemy target, prioritizing heroes. The attack deals damage and immobilizes the target for 1.5 seconds.

Skill Level	Attack Damage	Immobilization Duration
Level 1	100%	1.5 seconds
Level 2	110%	1.5 seconds
Level 3	120%	1.5 seconds
Level 4	130%	1.5 seconds
Level 5	140%	1.5 seconds

Poison of Demon combines direct damage with crowd control. The immobilization prevents the affected target from moving for a short period.

Because the skill prioritizes enemy heroes, it can disrupt important opponents rather than being wasted on a less valuable target. It works especially well when Reina is paired with heroes that deal area damage or benefit from enemies remaining in one position.

Reina’s Exploration Role

Reina works as a damage and control hero in Exploration. Phantom Assault damages groups of enemies, while Poison of Demon limits an enemy hero’s movement.

Vanishing Technique gives her some additional survivability, but she should not be treated as the formation’s primary tank.

Reina works best with:

• A durable Infantry hero who can absorb incoming damage
• A Marksman hero with strong single-target or area damage
• Heroes that provide healing, shields, or damage reduction
• Heroes with additional stun, immobilization, or control effects

Keeping Reina alive is important because her value increases when she has enough time to use Phantom Assault multiple times.

Reina Expedition Skills

Reina’s Expedition skills improve normal attacks, troop survivability, and Lancer damage. These bonuses are useful in rallies, Bear Hunt, alliance battles, and other troop-based combat.

Assassin’s Instinct

Reina identifies enemy weak points and increases normal attack damage for all troops.

Skill Level	Normal Attack Damage Bonus
Level 1	10%
Level 2	15%
Level 3	20%
Level 4	25%
Level 5	30%

Assassin’s Instinct is one of Reina’s most important Expedition skills. At Level 5, it increases normal attack damage for all troops by 30%.

The bonus applies across the entire formation instead of only affecting Lancers. This gives Reina strong value in mixed troop formations and events where troops perform many normal attacks.

The skill is particularly useful in longer battles because additional normal attack damage continues to provide value over multiple combat turns.

Swift Jive

Reina’s leadership gives all troops a chance to dodge incoming normal attacks.

Skill Level	Normal Attack Dodge Chance
Level 1	4%
Level 2	8%
Level 3	12%
Level 4	16%
Level 5	20%

Swift Jive provides formation-wide defensive value. At Level 5, all troops receive a 20% chance to dodge normal attacks.

The effect can reduce troop losses and help the formation survive longer. However, it depends on chance and only applies to normal attacks.

Its impact can vary between battle reports. In some battles, the formation may avoid several important attacks. In others, the skill may activate less frequently.

Shadow Blade

Reina’s Lancers have a 25% chance to perform an additional attack whenever they attack.

Skill Level	Activation Chance	Additional Attack Damage
Level 1	25%	120%
Level 2	25%	140%
Level 3	25%	160%
Level 4	25%	180%
Level 5	25%	200%

Shadow Blade provides additional damage specifically for Lancers. The activation chance remains at 25% at every level, while the damage of the extra attack increases.

At Level 5, the additional attack deals 200% damage. Successful activations can significantly increase the formation’s total damage output.

Because the skill only affects Lancers, formations with a meaningful Lancer presence receive the most value from it.

Reina Exclusive Gear: Ninjaken – Raikiri

Reina’s exclusive hero equipment is Ninjaken – Raikiri. It increases her personal Exploration stats and provides additional Expedition Lethality and Health.

Equipment Detail	Value
Equipment Name	Ninjaken – Raikiri
Maximum Equipment Power	416,250
Exploration Attack	832
Exploration Defense	832
Exploration Health	8,325
Expedition Lethality	92.50%
Expedition Health	92.50%

The additional Exploration Attack helps improve Reina’s area damage, while Defense and Health allow her to survive longer.

Expedition Lethality increases troop damage, and Expedition Health improves durability. Together, these bonuses strengthen Reina’s role as an offensive hero who can remain useful during longer battles.

Silhouette Strike

At Level 5, Silhouette Strike gives Reina a chance to throw an additional kunai during a normal attack.

Exclusive Skill	Maximum Effect
Silhouette Strike	40% chance to throw an extra kunai dealing 45% Attack damage

Silhouette Strike improves Reina’s personal normal attack damage in Exploration. Its effect fits well with the rest of her kit, which already benefits from repeated attacks and chance-based activations.

The extra kunai does not activate with every normal attack. However, the 40% activation chance can provide a noticeable damage increase over a longer battle.

Fiery Invasion

At Level 5, Fiery Invasion increases the Lethality of rally troops.

Exclusive Skill	Maximum Effect
Fiery Invasion	Increases rally troops’ Lethality by 15%

Fiery Invasion is one of the main reasons to invest in Reina’s exclusive gear. A 15% rally Lethality bonus can provide significant offensive value when Reina is used in the correct rally position.

This skill makes her especially useful for:

• Offensive PvP rallies
• Fortress and stronghold battles
• State of Power combat
• Alliance rally events
• Bear Hunt formations

Players who rarely lead rallies may receive less value from Fiery Invasion than active rally leaders.

Is Ninjaken – Raikiri Worth Upgrading?

Ninjaken – Raikiri is worth upgrading when Reina is part of the main rally, Arena, or Exploration formation.

Reina Usage	Equipment Recommendation
Collection or secondary hero	Low investment
Regular Exploration or Arena hero	Moderate investment
Main Lancer hero	High investment
Rally leader	Prioritize Fiery Invasion
Exploration damage build	Prioritize Silhouette Strike

Exclusive gear resources are limited and difficult to replace. Avoid upgrading Ninjaken – Raikiri heavily until Reina has enough stars and skills to remain in your long-term formation.

Best Uses for Reina

Reina can contribute in several Whiteout Survival game modes. Her best role depends on her star level, skill development, exclusive gear, and position in the formation.

Exploration

Reina provides strong area damage through Phantom Assault. Poison of Demon also immobilizes an enemy hero, giving the rest of the formation more time to deal damage.

Vanishing Technique improves her survival against normal attacks, although she still benefits from frontline protection.

Arena

Reina can be effective in Arena because she combines area damage with control and dodge effects. Phantom Assault can damage multiple enemy heroes, while Poison of Demon disrupts an important target.

Her performance may vary depending on which enemies she targets and how often her dodge effects activate.

Rally Battles

Reina is particularly useful in offensive rallies. Assassin’s Instinct increases normal attack damage for all troops, while Shadow Blade gives Lancers a chance to perform extra attacks.

Her exclusive gear can also increase rally troops’ Lethality by 15%. This makes Reina a strong option for players who frequently lead rallies.

The exact result depends on rally formation, hero position, troop ratio, and the bonuses provided by other participating heroes.

Bear Hunt

Reina can perform well in Bear Hunt because the battle involves repeated troop attacks over a fixed period. Assassin’s Instinct increases normal attack damage, while Shadow Blade can generate additional Lancer attacks.

Fiery Invasion can also improve rally Lethality when its bonus is active in the formation.

Players should compare battle reports and test Reina against their other available Lancer heroes. Star level, skill development, and exclusive gear can significantly affect the result.

State of Power and Large-Scale PvP

Reina’s rally bonuses make her useful during State of Power and other alliance combat events. Her combination of normal attack damage, troop dodge, extra Lancer attacks, and rally Lethality supports aggressive formations.

She is most effective when used by players who can invest enough resources into her stars, skills, and exclusive gear.

Defensive Battles

Swift Jive provides some defensive value by giving all troops a chance to dodge normal attacks. However, Reina’s strongest bonuses are generally more useful for offense.

Players building a dedicated defensive formation may prefer heroes with more reliable Health, Defense, or damage-reduction bonuses.

Reina Skill Upgrade Priority

Reina’s skill priority depends on whether she is mainly used for Exploration, Arena, rallies, or Bear Hunt.

Exploration Skill Priority

Priority	Skill	Reason
1	Phantom Assault	Reina’s main area-damage skill
2	Poison of Demon	Adds damage and immobilizes an enemy hero
3	Vanishing Technique	Improves survivability against normal attacks

Phantom Assault should normally receive the highest priority because it provides Reina’s largest direct damage effect.

Poison of Demon is valuable for both damage and control. Its immobilization duration does not increase with level, but the damage multiplier improves.

Vanishing Technique is useful for survivability, although its chance-based effect is generally less important than upgrading Reina’s main damage skills first.

Expedition Skill Priority

Priority	Skill	Reason
1	Assassin’s Instinct	Increases normal attack damage for all troops
2	Shadow Blade	Gives Lancers powerful additional attacks
3	Swift Jive	Provides a chance to dodge normal attacks

Assassin’s Instinct should usually be upgraded first because its damage bonus affects the entire formation and does not depend on an activation chance.

Shadow Blade is the next priority for damage-focused formations. At Level 5, its additional attack reaches 200% damage.

Swift Jive remains useful, especially in longer PvP battles, but its defensive benefit depends on successful dodge activations.

Players who value troop survival more than maximum damage may upgrade Swift Jive before Shadow Blade.

Best Formation Strategy for Reina

Reina performs best in a formation that allows her normal attack and Lancer bonuses to contribute consistently.

A balanced troop formation can take advantage of her entire Expedition kit:

• Infantry protects the formation and absorbs incoming damage.
• Lancers activate Shadow Blade’s additional attacks.
• Marksmen provide consistent ranged damage.
• All troop types benefit from Assassin’s Instinct.
• All troop types can benefit from Swift Jive’s dodge chance.

Avoid using an extremely low Lancer ratio when Reina is one of the main heroes. Shadow Blade only affects Lancers, so the skill provides less value when the formation contains very few Lancer troops.

For Exploration and Arena, pair Reina with a durable Infantry hero. The remaining positions can be filled with damage or support heroes based on the enemy formation.

Reina can work in a secondary frontline position because Vanishing Technique helps her avoid normal attacks. However, she should not replace a properly developed Infantry tank.

For rallies, carefully check Reina’s hero position and whether her exclusive gear bonus is active. Rally leader skills and participant skills can behave differently, so formation placement is important.

Is Reina Worth Investing In?

Reina is worth considering for players who need a Generation 4 Lancer focused on normal attack damage, control, and offensive rallies.

Her value increases significantly when she is developed to a competitive star level and supported by upgraded Ninjaken – Raikiri equipment.

Reasons to Invest in Reina

• Strong area damage in Exploration
• Immobilizes enemy heroes
• Increases normal attack damage for all troops
• Gives all troops a chance to dodge normal attacks
• Allows Lancers to perform additional attacks
• Provides a strong rally Lethality bonus
• Useful in Arena, Bear Hunt, rallies, and PvP

Reasons to Limit Investment

• Several effects depend on activation chances
• Requires many shards to reach 4 or 5 stars
• Exclusive gear requires additional rare resources
• A low-star Reina may not replace a fully developed older Lancer
• Rally-focused bonuses provide less value to players who rarely lead rallies
• Newer hero generations may eventually provide stronger base stats

For most players, Reina is a strong investment when she can reach at least 4 stars and fill a long-term position in the main formation.

Players with limited resources should avoid spreading upgrades across several Legendary Lancers. It is usually more effective to fully develop one main Lancer before investing heavily in another.

Reina Upgrade Priority

A practical Reina investment order is:

1. Unlock Reina through Hall of Heroes or Daily Deals.
2. Raise her to at least 3 stars before expecting strong combat performance.
3. Aim for 4 stars if she will join your main formation.
4. Upgrade Phantom Assault for Exploration damage.
5. Upgrade Assassin’s Instinct for formation-wide Expedition damage.
6. Improve Shadow Blade if Lancers are an important part of your troop formation.
7. Equip Reina with upgraded Lancer hero gear.
8. Invest in Ninjaken – Raikiri after confirming her long-term role.
9. Prioritize Fiery Invasion if you regularly lead rallies.
10. Continue toward 5 stars only when the shard cost fits your overall hero plan.

Do not invest only in Reina while ignoring the rest of the formation. Hero strength depends on the combined development of stars, skills, hero gear, exclusive equipment, and supporting heroes.

Mistakes to Avoid When Upgrading Reina

Unlocking Reina Without a Star Plan

A newly unlocked Reina may be weaker than a fully developed older hero. Decide whether you can reach 3 or 4 stars before spending valuable event resources.

Spending General Shards Too Early

General Mythic Hero Shards are useful for many heroes. Avoid using all of them on Reina unless she will become part of your main formation.

Ignoring Her Exclusive Gear

Reina can function without heavily upgraded exclusive gear, but Fiery Invasion is an important part of her rally value. Players building her for rallies should plan for exclusive gear costs.

Expecting Every Chance-Based Skill to Activate

Vanishing Technique, Swift Jive, Shadow Blade, and Silhouette Strike all depend on activation chances. Results can vary between battles even when the same formation is used.

Using Too Few Lancers

Shadow Blade only provides additional attacks to Lancers. Using very few Lancers reduces the value of one of Reina’s main Expedition skills.

Treating Reina as a Dedicated Tank

Reina has dodge effects, but she does not provide the same reliable protection as a dedicated Infantry hero. She still needs a strong frontline in Exploration and Arena.

Focusing Only on Hero Power

A higher displayed Hero Power does not always mean better battle performance. Skill effects, troop ratios, hero positions, opponent bonuses, and exclusive equipment must also be considered.

Upgrading Several Lancers at the Same Time

Spreading shards, skill books, gear, and exclusive equipment materials across several Lancers can slow progression. Prioritize the hero that will remain in your main formation.
