Whiteout Survival State Transfer Explained: Your Ultimate Guide

A new State Transfer event is coming up! Whether you're escaping a declining state, chasing a stronger alliance, or simply craving a fresh start, State Transfer opens up a world of possibilities in this icy survival saga—a pivotal event that allows players to relocate their cities to a different state.

In this guide, we'll equip you with everything you need to master State Transfer. We'll dive into its purpose, outline the requirements, explain how to obtain the essential Transfer Passes, and help you decide the perfect moment to make your move.

 

What is State Transfer?

State Transfer is a highly anticipated event in Whiteout Survival that occurs irregularly, usually every 4 to 7 weeks(start usually day after svs ends). It lasts for 7 days and offers players the chance to move their city to a new state. A few days before the event, Whiteout Survival will post about it on their official X account.

This feature is a lifeline for chiefs aiming to revitalize their experience—whether by joining a more active community, aligning with a powerful alliance, or gaining an edge in events like State vs. State. This event is divided into three distinct phases:

Phase l: Pre-Transfer ( 3 Days)

During this phase, the President can set a Power Cap threshold for entry into their State, Chiefs above the Power Cap can only transfer to a State at the invitation of its President in Phrase ll or Phase lll. Ordinary chiefs (not presidents) will be able to view potential destinations and the status of target States.

*Note: States are categorized as either Leading or Ordinary. Leading States' Power Cap threes holds cannot be modified and are set to the lowest level by default; Leading States cannot issue Special Invites.

Phase ll: Invitational Transfer (2 Days)

Presidents may issue Ordinary and Special Invites to ask Chiefs of other States to transfer early.

*Note: Your Transfer Score is based on Chief's Furnace, Gear, Charms, Hero Power, etc., not Troop power. The higher your Score vs a State's Rating, the more Transfer Passes you'll need. F2P players likely won't exceed 10 Passes.

Phase lll: Open Transfer (2 Days)

Chiefs are free to transfer anywhere provided they meet a State's PowerCap.

State transfers require Transfer Passes, with the number hinging on your Chief's Transfer Score. The higher your Chief's stats (contrasting with States' Rating), the more Passes needed.

*Note: During the transfer, your city will be randomly teleported to an area of the Ice field in the target state, and you'll receive a 24-hour shield to protect your base. Keep in mind that the transfer is permanent, and you'll remain in the new state after the event ends.

 

Transfer Requirements

To be successful, State transfers must also meet certain requirements. The following are Personal and state requirements:

Personal requirements

• City is not in combat.
• The Chief is not a part of any Alliance.
• The Chief does not exceed the Power Cap.
• Has fewer than 4 characters in target state.
• Not a President or the previous President during an interregnum.
• The Chief has reached the required Furnace level (this requirement varies with the number of days the State has been active and the maximum level required is 30).
• More than 30 days have passed since last transfer (only 1 transfer per event allowed).

State requirements

• The latest generation of heroes must be the same on both servers.
• The server cannot be more than 90 days younger or older than the state you originate from.
• The furnace era, all unlocked buildings, available beasts, chief and hero equipment must also match.

Failing to meet any of these criteria will halt your transfer, so double-check your eligibility before the event begins. In addition to meeting the above conditions, you need to prepare enough Transfer Passes.

 

How to Get Transfer Passes

Transfer Passes are essential for your city during State Transfers. The amount needed hinges on your Transfer Score, which reflects your Chief Power, Hero Power, Equipment Level, and other relevant attributes.

The Transfer Passes

Here are a couple ways to get Transfer Passes:

Alliance Shop

Cost: 150,000 Alliance Tokens

For F2P or low-spending players, Transfer Passes can be purchased using Alliance Tokens in the Alliance Shop. Each pass costs 150,000 Alliance Tokens and refreshes weekly. Gathering Transfer Passes this way is slower, but it's a feasible choice for F2P players.

Transfer Passes Pack

Cost:

• 1 Pass: $4.99
• 2 Passes: $9.99
• 3 Passes: $19.99
• 4 Passes: $49.99
• 5 Passes : $99.99

Amount: Up to 85 / month

Buying a Transfer Pass pack directly is a more time efficient option than redeeming a Transfer Pass in the Alliance Shop. Successive packs are unlocked after purchasing the previous pack and reset at the beginning of each month.

When You Should Do State Transfer

As Transfer Pass takes some time to acquire, while the right timing of State Transfer can give you more rewards and thus more advantages. In the following cases, you should consider making a State Transfer.

• Inactive State

If your current state is a ghost sate, transferring offers a fresh start with active players. It's always more fun with more people.

• Better Alliance Opportunities

If a strong alliance in another state wants you, or if you want to join a stronger & more competitive alliance. Joining a stronger alliance means that you will have access to more resources.

• Event Advantages

Transferring to a stronger state can improve your odds in State vs. State or other large-scale competitions.

• keep away from enemies

If you have incurred a strong player in your current state, then making a State Transfer is a very good option. This will not keep you from being harassed by enemies again, but will also prevent you from losing too many resources.

*Given the resource investment and permanent nature of the move, weigh your options carefully. A well-timed transfer can transform your Whiteout Survival journey.

State Transfer Restrictions

When doing a State Transfer, there will be several restrictions that you will need to know about ahead of time as follows.

• One transfer per event: Each State Transfer Event permits just one transfer; extra passes won't let you move again till the next event.
• Resource loss: You'll lose resources above your storage protection limit when transferring.
• Event progress reset: Moving will reset Arena Points, Hero Rally progress, and some event rankings.

 

Other Tips

• Server Groups:

States are categorized into different groups based on their age and development. Check the server groups to understand which states you can transfer to.

• Communicate Ahead:

Contact the target state’s President and players to secure an alliance spot or invitation, especially if your power exceeds their cap.

• Prepare in Advance:

Stockpile Transfer Passes well before the event to avoid last-minute shortages.

These steps can smooth your transition and set you up for success in your new state.
