Whiteout Survival Generation 6 Heroes Wayne

Wayne is a Legendary Marksman hero in Whiteout Survival who specializes in repeated attacks, critical hits, line damage, and offensive troop support. His skills allow him to strike enemies twice with a returning boomerang, trigger additional normal attacks, and improve the Critical Rate of his entire formation.

He is especially useful for players who need a damage-focused Marksman for Exploration, Arena, Bear Hunt, rallies, defensive formations, and large-scale PvP. This Whiteout Survival Wayne guide covers his stats, skills, shard requirements, exclusive gear, upgrade priorities, and best uses.

Wayne Overview

Wayne is a Generation 6 Legendary Marksman hero with the Combat subclass. His kit focuses on repeated attacks, Critical Rate, and additional damage against enemy Lancers and Marksmen.

Detail Wayne Information
Rarity Legendary
Class Marksman
Subclass Combat
Hero Generation Generation 6
Main Role Repeated attacks, critical damage, and troop support
Best Modes Exploration, Arena, Bear Hunt, rallies, defense, and PvP
Exclusive Gear Power Boomerang
Main Strengths Double-pass area damage, extra normal attacks, Critical Rate, and anti-Lancer damage
Main Weakness Some effects depend on chance, attack cycles, or enemy troop type

Wayne is primarily an offensive hero. In Exploration, Hurricane Blowback can damage enemies when the boomerang travels forward and again when it returns. Phantom Blitz gives his normal attacks a chance to trigger another attack, while Noon Time improves his Critical Rate.

His Expedition skills also reward longer battles. Thunder Strike gives all troops an additional attack every four turns, Roundabout Hit improves Marksman damage against specific troop types, and Fleet increases the Critical Rate of all troop attacks.

Wayne also has some defensive value through his exclusive gear. Offensive Defense increases Defender Troop Lethality, making him useful for players who regularly defend cities, facilities, fortresses, and other objectives.

Wayne Stats

Wayne has high Exploration Attack, supported by moderate Defense and Health. His Expedition stats provide equal Marksman Attack and Defense bonuses.

Exploration Stats

Stat Maximum Value
Attack 7,200
Defense 5,926
Health 44,454

Attack is Wayne’s strongest Exploration stat. This supports his role as a ranged damage dealer and increases the damage of Hurricane Blowback, normal attacks, and Gunslinger.

His Health is lower than that of frontline Infantry heroes. Wayne should normally be placed behind a durable frontline so he has enough time to activate his skills and perform repeated normal attacks.

Expedition Stats

Stat Maximum Value
Marksman Attack 540.43%
Marksman Defense 540.43%

Wayne’s balanced Expedition stats improve both the damage and survivability of his Marksmen.

His skills are primarily offensive, however. Wayne performs best when his troops survive long enough to complete several attack cycles and repeatedly trigger Thunder Strike and Roundabout Hit.

How to Unlock Wayne in Whiteout Survival

Wayne becomes available during the Generation 6 hero period. Generation 6 heroes normally begin appearing when a state reaches the appropriate age, although exact timing may vary by state and event schedule.

Wayne shards can be obtained through:

  • Hall of Chiefs
  • King of Icefield
  • State of Power
  • Daily Deals
  • Hero Rally
  • Mythic General Hero Shards after unlocking him
  • Additional limited events when available

Wayne is not obtained through the Lucky Wheel. Players planning to use him should check which shard events are active in their state and prepare the required resources before his generation arrives.

Preparing Resources for Wayne

Useful resources to save include:

  • Mythic General Hero Shards
  • Hero XP
  • Skill Manuals
  • Marksman Hero Gear
  • Essence Stones
  • Exclusive Gear materials
  • Power Boomerang Widgets
  • Event resources used during Wayne shard events

Unlocking Wayne is only the first step. A low-star Wayne may not immediately outperform an older Marksman with more stars, stronger skills, and developed Hero Gear.

Before committing general shards, decide whether Wayne will become your primary Marksman or remain in a secondary formation.

Wayne Shard Requirements

Wayne requires an increasing number of shards as he 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 full star contains six smaller tiers. Players must complete every tier before reaching the next full star.

A total of 1,065 shards is required to complete all five star stages.

Recommended Wayne Star Targets

Star Target Recommendation
Unlock only Suitable for collection or limited testing
2 stars Usually too weak for a developed main formation
3 stars Usable in secondary formations
4 stars Strong target for regular combat use
5 stars Maximum Generation 6 performance

For most players, 4 stars is a practical target if Wayne will become the main Marksman. This gives him stronger base stats and allows his complete skill kit to provide more reliable value.

Reaching 5 stars maximizes his performance, but the additional shard cost is significant. Players should consider future hero generations before using all available Mythic General Hero Shards.

Wayne Exploration Skills

Wayne has three Exploration skills. They focus on line damage, additional normal attacks, and Critical Rate.

Hurricane Blowback

Whiteout Survival Wayne Skills Hurricane Blowback

Wayne throws his Power Boomerang in a straight line, dealing area damage to every enemy in its path. The boomerang deals the same amount of damage again while returning to Wayne.

Skill Level Damage per Pass Potential Damage if Both Passes Hit
Level 1 100% Attack 200% Attack
Level 2 110% Attack 220% Attack
Level 3 120% Attack 240% Attack
Level 4 130% Attack 260% Attack
Level 5 140% Attack 280% Attack

Hurricane Blowback is Wayne’s main Exploration skill. Its total damage depends on enemy positioning.

Enemies hit during both the outgoing and returning paths can receive damage twice. This gives the skill strong potential against enemies positioned in a line.

The ability becomes less effective when enemies are widely spread or move away from the boomerang’s return path. Pairing Wayne with heroes that stun, immobilize, or group enemies can improve the chance of both attacks connecting.

At Level 5, each pass deals 140% Attack damage. A target hit by both passes can potentially receive a combined 280% Attack damage.

Phantom Blitz

Whiteout Survival Wayne Skills Phantom Blitz

Wayne’s quick-draw technique gives each normal attack a chance to trigger an additional normal attack.

Skill Level Extra Normal Attack Chance
Level 1 15%
Level 2 20%
Level 3 25%
Level 4 30%
Level 5 35%

Phantom Blitz improves Wayne’s sustained damage. At Level 5, every normal attack has a 35% chance to trigger another normal attack.

The effect fits well with Wayne’s high Attack and Critical Rate. An additional normal attack can also score a critical hit, increasing his potential damage.

Phantom Blitz is chance-based, so its contribution can vary between battles. Wayne may trigger several additional attacks in one fight and fewer in another.

Longer Exploration and Arena battles give Phantom Blitz more opportunities to activate.

Noon Time

Whiteout Survival Wayne Skills Noon Time

Wayne’s accuracy increases his Critical Rate whenever he deals damage.

Skill Level Critical Rate Bonus
Level 1 3%
Level 2 6%
Level 3 9%
Level 4 12%
Level 5 15%

Noon Time provides a straightforward damage bonus. At Level 5, Wayne receives 15% additional Critical Rate.

The bonus can improve damage from:

  • Normal attacks
  • Phantom Blitz attacks
  • Hurricane Blowback
  • Gunslinger
  • Other damage effects that can critically hit

Critical hits provide higher damage than regular attacks, although their occurrence still depends on Wayne’s total Critical Rate.

Noon Time works especially well with Phantom Blitz. More normal attacks create more opportunities for Wayne to score critical hits.

Wayne’s Exploration Role

Wayne works best as a protected ranged damage dealer. His main value comes from repeated normal attacks, critical hits, and Hurricane Blowback’s two-pass damage.

He works well with:

  • A durable Infantry hero who can protect the backline
  • Heroes that stun or immobilize enemies
  • Heroes that group enemies into a straight line
  • Heroes that increase allied damage
  • Heroes that reduce enemy Defense
  • Healers or shield providers that extend the battle
  • A second damage dealer who can finish weakened targets

Wayne should normally remain behind a reliable frontline. His damage increases when he survives long enough to perform multiple normal attacks and activate Hurricane Blowback several times.

Wayne Expedition Skills

Wayne’s Expedition skills focus on additional attacks, troop-type counters, and formation-wide Critical Rate.

Thunder Strike

Whiteout Survival Wayne Skills Thunder Strike

Wayne’s battle plan allows all friendly troops to perform an additional attack every four turns.

Skill Level Additional Attack Damage Trigger
Level 1 20% Every 4 turns
Level 2 40% Every 4 turns
Level 3 60% Every 4 turns
Level 4 80% Every 4 turns
Level 5 100% Every 4 turns

Thunder Strike is Wayne’s most flexible Expedition skill because it benefits all troop types.

At Level 5, every fourth turn triggers an additional attack dealing 100% damage. Infantry, Lancers, and Marksmen can all contribute to this effect.

Thunder Strike performs best in battles that last for several turns. Very short battles may end before the formation completes multiple four-turn cycles.

The extra attack can be useful in:

  • Bear Hunt
  • Offensive rallies
  • Defensive battles
  • Fortress and stronghold combat
  • State of Power
  • Sunfire Castle battles

Because the effect is not limited to Marksmen, Wayne can still support balanced troop formations.

Roundabout Hit

Whiteout Survival Wayne Skills Roundabout Hit

Wayne’s Marksmen deal additional damage against enemy Lancers and Marksmen on every other attack.

Skill Level Extra Damage to Enemy Lancers Extra Damage to Enemy Marksmen Trigger
Level 1 8% 4% Every other attack
Level 2 16% 8% Every other attack
Level 3 24% 12% Every other attack
Level 4 32% 16% Every other attack
Level 5 40% 20% Every other attack

Roundabout Hit gives Wayne a clear troop-matchup advantage.

At Level 5, his Marksmen deal:

  • 40% additional damage to enemy Lancers
  • 20% additional damage to enemy Marksmen

The skill is especially valuable against formations with large Lancer numbers. This follows the normal relationship in which Marksmen are effective against Lancers, but Wayne increases that advantage further.

Roundabout Hit can also help in Marksman-versus-Marksman combat, although the bonus is smaller.

The skill provides no listed additional damage against Infantry. Its value therefore depends on the enemy troop composition.

Players should review battle reports and scout information before assuming Roundabout Hit will provide its maximum benefit.

Fleet

Whiteout Survival Wayne Skills Fleet

Wayne identifies enemy weaknesses and increases the Critical Rate of all friendly troop attacks.

Skill Level All-Troop Critical Rate Bonus
Level 1 5%
Level 2 10%
Level 3 15%
Level 4 20%
Level 5 25%

Fleet is one of Wayne’s strongest formation-wide bonuses.

At Level 5, all troop attacks receive 25% additional Critical Rate. The bonus is not limited to Marksmen, allowing Infantry and Lancers to benefit as well.

Fleet works well with:

  • Thunder Strike’s additional attacks
  • High-damage troop formations
  • Other general damage bonuses
  • Longer battles with many attack cycles
  • Formations that already have Critical Rate or critical-related effects

Critical hits remain chance-based. Fleet increases how frequently they can occur but does not guarantee that every attack will become a critical hit.

Wayne Exclusive Gear: Power Boomerang

Whiteout Survival Wayne Equipment Power Boomerang

Wayne’s exclusive hero equipment is Power Boomerang. It improves his Exploration stats while adding Expedition Lethality and Health.

Equipment Detail Value
Equipment Name Power Boomerang
Maximum Equipment Power 600,750
Exploration Attack 1,457
Exploration Defense 1,201
Exploration Health 9,011
Expedition Lethality 133.50%
Expedition Health 133.50%

Power Boomerang provides a large Exploration Attack bonus, supporting Wayne’s role as a ranged damage dealer.

The Defense and Health bonuses improve his ability to survive incoming area attacks. Expedition Lethality increases troop damage, while Expedition Health improves troop durability.

Gunslinger

Whiteout Survival Wayne Skills Gunslinger

At Level 5, Gunslinger allows Wayne to unleash a rapid five-shot barrage at a random enemy.

Exclusive Skill Maximum Effect
Gunslinger Fires a five-shot barrage dealing 56% Attack damage to a random enemy
Special Effect If the target is classified as an Escort, it has a 100% chance to be instantly knocked down

Gunslinger adds another source of Exploration damage. The attack targets a random enemy, so Wayne cannot always direct it toward the most important target.

The special knockdown effect only applies when the target is classified as an Escort. It should not be treated as a universal instant defeat against every enemy hero or boss.

Against regular targets, Gunslinger still contributes additional damage. Wayne’s high Attack and Critical Rate can make repeated activations useful during longer battles.

Offensive Defense

Whiteout Survival Wayne Skills Offensive Defense

At Level 5, Offensive Defense increases the Lethality of defending troops.

Exclusive Skill Maximum Effect
Offensive Defense Increases Defender Troop Lethality by 15%

Offensive Defense gives Wayne a specialized role in defensive PvP.

Defender Troop Lethality improves the damage dealt by troops while defending an objective. This makes Wayne useful when defending:

  • Cities
  • Facilities
  • Fortresses
  • Strongholds
  • Sunfire Castle
  • State of Power objectives
  • Other alliance structures

The bonus complements Wayne’s offensive Expedition skills. Fleet increases Critical Rate, Thunder Strike creates additional attacks, and Offensive Defense improves the Lethality of the defending formation.

Is Power Boomerang Worth Upgrading?

Power Boomerang is worth upgrading when Wayne is part of the main Exploration, Arena, or defensive formation.

Wayne Usage Equipment Recommendation
Collection or secondary hero Low investment
Regular Exploration or Arena hero Moderate investment
Main Marksman hero High investment
Defensive PvP specialist Prioritize Offensive Defense
Exploration damage build Prioritize Gunslinger

Exclusive Gear materials are limited. Heavy investment should normally wait until Wayne has enough stars and skills to remain in the main formation.

Players should prioritize Wayne’s star level, important skills, and standard Marksman Hero Gear before committing large amounts of resources to Power Boomerang.

Best Uses for Wayne

Wayne can contribute in several Whiteout Survival game modes. His strongest uses involve repeated attacks, Critical Rate, anti-Lancer damage, and defensive Lethality.

Exploration

Wayne is a strong Exploration damage dealer when protected by a durable frontline.

Hurricane Blowback can damage multiple enemies twice when both the outgoing and returning paths connect. Phantom Blitz provides additional normal attacks, while Noon Time increases Critical Rate.

Power Boomerang adds more Attack and unlocks Gunslinger for additional damage.

Wayne performs particularly well against enemies positioned in a line. Control heroes can prevent enemies from moving away from the boomerang’s return path.

Arena

Wayne can be useful in Arena because his line attack can hit frontline and backline heroes during the same activation.

Phantom Blitz and Noon Time provide strong sustained damage. However, both extra attacks and critical hits depend partly on chance, so Wayne’s results can vary between matches.

His Arena performance improves when:

  • The enemy formation remains grouped
  • Wayne is protected from early attacks
  • Battles last long enough for repeated normal attacks
  • Allies can stun or immobilize enemies
  • A strong frontline prevents enemies from reaching him

Wayne should not normally be placed in a frontline position. He needs protection to make full use of his repeated attack effects.

Rally Battles

Wayne can contribute to rallies through Thunder Strike, Roundabout Hit, and Fleet.

Thunder Strike provides an additional attack every four turns, while Fleet increases Critical Rate for all troop attacks. Roundabout Hit adds extra Marksman damage when the enemy formation contains Lancers or Marksmen.

Wayne’s performance depends heavily on the opponent’s troop composition. He becomes particularly useful when attacking a formation with many Lancers.

His exclusive gear does not provide a Rally Troop bonus. Offensive Defense is designed for defending troops, so pure rally leaders should compare Wayne with Marksmen that provide rally-specific Attack or Lethality bonuses.

Bear Hunt

Wayne can provide useful Bear Hunt damage through Thunder Strike and Fleet.

Thunder Strike gives the full troop formation additional attacks every four turns. Fleet increases the Critical Rate of all troop attacks, creating more opportunities for higher damage.

Roundabout Hit is designed around enemy Lancer and Marksman troop types. Its contribution may be less relevant against a single PvE target than it is in troop-versus-troop combat.

Players should compare Wayne’s Bear Hunt results with other available Marksmen. His performance depends on:

  • Star level
  • Expedition skill levels
  • Hero position
  • Troop ratio
  • Hero Gear
  • Exclusive Gear
  • Other rally heroes
  • Existing Critical Rate bonuses

Defensive PvP

Defensive PvP is one of Wayne’s strongest specialized uses.

Offensive Defense increases Defender Troop Lethality by 15%. Fleet also improves the Critical Rate of the defending formation, while Thunder Strike adds periodic attacks.

This combination allows Wayne to increase defensive damage rather than simply improving troop durability.

He works well in defensive formations that already have:

  • Defender Health
  • Defender Defense
  • Enemy damage reduction
  • Troop Health
  • Infantry survivability
  • General damage bonuses

Wayne does not provide direct damage reduction. Pairing him with defensive heroes helps balance the formation.

State of Power and Large-Scale PvP

Wayne can be useful during State of Power, Sunfire Castle, and other large alliance battles.

He can contribute to:

  • City attacks
  • City defense
  • Fortress battles
  • Stronghold battles
  • Facility defense
  • Castle garrisons
  • Offensive rallies
  • Reinforcement marches

Roundabout Hit becomes especially useful when fighting enemy formations with many Lancers. Fleet remains valuable in most matchups because it benefits all troop attacks.

Wayne’s best role depends on his exclusive gear development. A heavily upgraded Offensive Defense makes him more attractive for garrison and defensive formations.

Wayne Skill Upgrade Priority

Wayne’s skill priority depends on whether he is mainly used for Exploration, Arena, Bear Hunt, rallies, or defensive PvP.

Exploration Skill Priority

Priority Skill Reason
1 Hurricane Blowback Main area attack with two damage passes
2 Phantom Blitz Provides additional normal attacks
3 Noon Time Increases Wayne’s Critical Rate

Hurricane Blowback should normally receive the highest priority because it is Wayne’s main active damage skill. It can damage several enemies and potentially hit them again on the return path.

Phantom Blitz is the next priority for sustained damage. At Level 5, Wayne has a 35% chance to trigger another normal attack.

Noon Time remains valuable because it improves the Critical Rate of all Wayne’s damage. Players focusing on a critical-hit build may upgrade Noon Time alongside Phantom Blitz.

Expedition Skill Priority

Priority Skill Reason
1 Fleet Increases Critical Rate for all troop attacks
2 Thunder Strike Gives all troops an additional periodic attack
3 Roundabout Hit Increases Marksman damage against specific troop types

Fleet is the most flexible Expedition skill because it benefits all troop types and is useful in most matchups.

Thunder Strike also supports the entire formation. Its value increases in longer battles where it can activate several times.

Roundabout Hit can provide a large bonus, especially against Lancers, but its effectiveness depends on the enemy troop composition.

Players who mainly use Wayne to counter Lancer-heavy formations may prioritize Roundabout Hit earlier.

Best Formation Strategy for Wayne

Wayne performs best in a formation that protects him and allows his repeated attack effects to activate several times.

A balanced Exploration or Arena formation can include:

  • A durable Infantry hero in the frontline
  • A second Infantry, Lancer, or control hero
  • Wayne in a protected backline position
  • A second damage dealer
  • A healer, shield provider, or support hero

Wayne benefits from heroes that keep enemies aligned or unable to move. This improves the chance that Hurricane Blowback will hit targets during both passes.

Useful Exploration support effects include:

  • Stun
  • Immobilization
  • Grouping
  • Enemy Defense reduction
  • Allied Attack bonuses
  • Shields
  • Healing
  • Energy support

For Expedition, Wayne benefits from a meaningful Marksman troop presence because Roundabout Hit only improves Marksman damage.

However, Thunder Strike and Fleet support Infantry and Lancers as well. This means Wayne can still perform well in a balanced troop formation.

Useful Expedition bonuses to combine with Wayne include:

  • Marksman Attack
  • Marksman Lethality
  • Troop Attack
  • Critical Rate
  • General damage increases
  • Enemy damage-taken increases
  • Defender Health and Defense
  • Troop survivability

For defensive formations, pair Wayne with heroes that improve Health, Defense, or damage reduction. Wayne provides damage, Critical Rate, and Defender Lethality but does not offer strong direct protection.

Is Wayne Worth Investing In?

Wayne is worth considering for players who need a Generation 6 Marksman focused on repeated attacks, Critical Rate, anti-Lancer damage, and defensive troop Lethality.

He can contribute in both offensive and defensive formations, although his exclusive gear gives him a stronger defensive specialization.

Reasons to Invest in Wayne

  • High Exploration Attack
  • Deals line-based area damage
  • Can hit enemies on both the outgoing and returning boomerang paths
  • Has a chance to trigger additional normal attacks
  • Increases his personal Critical Rate
  • Gives all troops an additional attack every four turns
  • Deals additional Marksman damage against Lancers
  • Increases Critical Rate for all troop attacks
  • Improves Defender Troop Lethality
  • Useful in Exploration, Arena, Bear Hunt, rallies, and PvP

Reasons to Limit Investment

  • Not available through the Lucky Wheel
  • Requires substantial shard investment
  • Phantom Blitz depends on an activation chance
  • Critical hits are not guaranteed
  • Roundabout Hit depends on enemy troop composition
  • Thunder Strike requires several turns to activate
  • His exclusive gear bonus is defensive rather than rally-focused
  • A low-star Wayne may not replace a developed older Marksman
  • Exclusive Gear requires rare materials
  • Future hero generations may eventually provide higher base stats

For players who frequently defend important objectives, Wayne can be a valuable long-term Marksman. Offensive Defense combines well with his formation-wide Critical Rate and additional attack effects.

Players focused entirely on offensive rallies should compare him with Marksmen that provide direct rally bonuses before committing heavy exclusive gear resources.

Wayne Upgrade Priority

A practical Wayne investment order is:

  1. Check which Wayne shard events are available in your state.
  2. Unlock Wayne and choose a realistic star target.
  3. Raise him to at least 3 stars before expecting strong combat results.
  4. Aim for 4 stars if he will become your primary Marksman.
  5. Upgrade Hurricane Blowback for Exploration area damage.
  6. Upgrade Phantom Blitz for additional normal attacks.
  7. Upgrade Fleet for formation-wide Critical Rate.
  8. Improve Thunder Strike for periodic extra attacks.
  9. Upgrade Roundabout Hit when PvP is a major priority.
  10. Equip Wayne with upgraded Marksman Hero Gear.
  11. Invest in Power Boomerang after confirming his long-term role.
  12. Prioritize Offensive Defense for garrison and defensive PvP use.
  13. Upgrade Gunslinger for additional Exploration damage.
  14. Continue toward 5 stars only when the cost fits your future hero plan.

Do not judge Wayne only by his displayed Hero Power. His performance also depends on skill levels, Hero Gear, exclusive equipment, troop composition, enemy troop types, hero positioning, and supporting bonuses.

Mistakes to Avoid When Upgrading Wayne

Unlocking Wayne Without a Star Target

A newly unlocked Wayne may not outperform an older Marksman with more stars and stronger gear. Decide whether you can reach at least 3 or 4 stars before committing resources.

Spending General Shards Without a Long-Term Plan

Mythic General Hero Shards can be used on many Legendary heroes. Avoid spending all of them unless Wayne will remain in your main formation.

Expecting Hurricane Blowback to Always Hit Twice

The boomerang deals damage while moving forward and returning. Enemies must remain within its path to receive both hits.

Positioning and enemy movement can affect the total damage.

Expecting Phantom Blitz to Activate Every Time

Phantom Blitz has a maximum activation chance of 35%. Wayne may trigger several additional attacks in one battle and fewer in another.

Treating Critical Hits as Guaranteed Damage

Noon Time and Fleet increase Critical Rate, but they do not guarantee that every attack will become a critical hit.

Ignoring Enemy Troop Composition

Roundabout Hit provides additional damage against Lancers and Marksmen. It does not list an extra bonus against Infantry.

Check the enemy formation before judging Wayne’s value in a matchup.

Using Too Few Marksmen

Roundabout Hit only increases Wayne’s Marksman damage. A very low Marksman ratio reduces the value of this skill.

Judging Thunder Strike From Short Battles

Thunder Strike activates every four turns. Short battles may end before it triggers several times.

Treating Wayne as a Defensive Tank

Offensive Defense increases Defender Troop Lethality, but Wayne does not provide frontline durability or direct damage reduction.

He still needs strong Infantry and defensive support heroes.

Assuming Gunslinger Can Instantly Defeat Every Enemy

The guaranteed knockdown only applies to targets classified as Escorts. It is not a universal instant defeat against heroes or major enemies.

Upgrading Power Boomerang Too Early

Exclusive Gear materials are difficult to replace. Heavy investment may not be efficient while Wayne is still at a low star level.

Replacing a Developed Marksman Too Quickly

A Generation 6 hero is not automatically stronger at a low star level. Compare Wayne’s battle performance with your current Marksman before transferring your best Hero Gear.
