Pets Tier List 2025 | Whiteout Survival

Pets in the A Tier are strong and reliable, offering solid attribute boosts or useful skills. While they might not define battles on their own, they add valuable support to your formation. Many A-tier pets excel in versatility or provide niche advantages that become crucial in specific situations. They are excellent choices for mid-game players or as secondary pets in your formation.

Snow Ape Boosts squad capacity for all troops

+

Tumbling Power

Effect: The Snow Ape boosts the entire army's morale, increasing Squad Capacity by 1,500 / 3,000 / 4,500 / 6,000 / 7,500 / 9,000 / 10,500 / 12,000 / 13,500 / 15,000 for 2 hours.
Cooldown: 20:00:00

This ability increases the number of troops each player can send, which is valuable in both PvP and PvE scenarios. Although the bonus is not as impactful as attack, health, or lethality, it is universally useful and benefits every march. For that reason, the Snow Ape earns a solid spot in Tier A — reliable and practical, though not game-breaking.

Mammoth Improves troop survivability with defensive buffs

+

Hardened Skin

Effect: The towering Mammoths act as shields, increasing Troops Defense by 2.50% / 3.00% / 3.50% / 4.00% / 5.00% / 6.00% / 7.00% / 8.00% / 9.00% / 10.00% for 2 hours.
Cooldown: 20:00:00

A sturdy skill that enhances troop survivability by increasing defense, making the Mammoth a decent support pet. While not as impactful as boosts to attack or lethality, defense still plays a role in reducing incoming damage. However, in Whiteout Survival's current meta, defense is generally considered less effective than health — since health increases total HP and scales better with other bonuses. For this reason, despite its solid skill, Mammoth is placed in Tier A.

Snow Leopard Reduces enemy lethality and boosts your march speed

+

Lightning Raid

Effect: Known for its speed, the Snow Leopard increases March Speed by 15.00% / 17.00% / 19.00% / 21.00% / 23.00% / 25.00% / 27.00% / 30.00% and reduces enemy Troops Lethality by 1.50% / 2.00% / 2.50% / 3.00% / 3.50% / 4.00% / 4.50% / 5.00% for 2 hours.
Cooldown: 20:00:00

An underrated but strategic choice, the Snow Leopard excels in countering stronger opponents. Its unique ability to reduce the enemy's lethality directly weakens their killing potential — a crucial advantage when facing high-level players with stronger armies. Since the debuff is percentage-based, its effect becomes even more valuable the stronger the enemy is. Combined with a high bonus to march speed, this pet is ideal for both escape tactics and aggressive raids, making it a solid A-tier pick for situational dominance.

Note: Some advanced players consider Snow Leopard nearly S-tier when used against stronger opponents, due to its scalable debuff effect.

The B Tier pets serve more situational or utility-based roles. While they might not enhance troop performance directly, their skills can assist with gathering, stamina management, or passive progression. These pets are great complements for casual players or during downtime, but they rarely shift the outcome of a battle. Use them when your top-tier pets are on cooldown or in support-focused strategies.

Iron Rhino Increases total rally capacity for all allies

+

Rallying Beasts

Effect: Inspired by a rampaging herd, rally capacity is increased by 60,000 / 70,000 / 80,000 / 90,000 / 100,000 / 110,000 / 120,000 / 130,000 / 140,000 / 150,000 for 2 hours.
Cooldown: 20:00:00

While this skill grants a substantial boost to total rally capacity, its usefulness is limited to players who actually lead rallies. That said, for rally leaders, Rhino can be a game-changer — but for the average player, it won’t trigger at all. This situational nature justifies placing Rhino in the B Tier despite having a powerful effect.

Giant Tapir Provides instant Pet Food collection

+

Natural Intuition

Effect: Despite its docile appearance, the Giant Tapir's keen senses allow it to instantly locate 200 / 250 / 300 / 350 / 400 / 450 / 500 Pet Food.
Cooldown: 23:00:00

While it doesn't enhance your army directly, the Giant Tapir offers a valuable and often underestimated advantage: it provides Pet Food — a resource that remains crucial even in the late stages of the game. As players complete construction and accumulate abundant basic resources, the ability to accelerate pet development becomes more strategic. For this reason, the Giant Tapir now deserves a spot in Tier B.

Arctic Wolf Restores Chief Stamina instantly

+

Arctic Embrace

Effect: The Arctic Wolf’s comforting presence rejuvenates weary spirits, instantly restoring 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60 Chief Stamina.
Cooldown: 23:00:00

This skill is a great quality-of-life boost, especially for free-to-play players and those who enjoy frequent monster hunting. While it doesn’t impact battle stats directly, stamina is a vital resource in Whiteout Survival. The Arctic Wolf helps you recover it faster, keeping your activity rate high. However, it’s best used as a secondary pet due to its narrow utility — making it a solid choice for Tier B.

C Tier pets offer minimal value in most combat or progression scenarios. Their abilities are often limited in duration, impact, or usefulness as the game progresses. While they might serve a purpose during early development or for collection purposes, investing heavily in these pets is usually not recommended. Prioritize leveling up stronger pets before allocating resources here.

Giant Elk Searches the Tundra for lost treasures over time

+

Mystical Finding

Effect: Guided by its mystical intuition, the Giant Elk unearths an item lost on the Tundra.
Cooldown: 2d 03:00:00 / 1d 23:00:00 / 1d 19:00:00 / 1d 15:00:00 / 1d 11:00:00 / 1d 07:00:00 / 1d 03:00:00 / 23:00:00

While its ability is unique, granting random items over time, the Giant Elk lacks any direct combat utility. In practice, the rewards tend to be minimal, especially considering the investment required to level it up. For most players, this pet ends up being a poor return on investment — making it more of a novelty than a true asset. We’ve therefore ranked the Giant Elk in Tier C.

Titan Roc Weakens enemy troops by reducing their health

+

Razorbeak

Effect: The formidable Titan Roc's beak is indestructible, reducing enemy Health by 1.50% / 2.00% / 2.50% / 3.00% / 3.50% / 4.00% / 4.50% / 5.00% for 2 hours.
Cooldown: 20:00:00

Titan Roc’s ability can be situationally useful, especially when facing stronger opponents, as reducing the enemy's health percentage may slightly tip the balance. However, since it offers no direct advantage to your own troops and its impact is limited compared to other pets that boost attack or lethality, Titan Roc is not a recommended investment. That’s why we’ve placed it in Tier C.

Musk Ox Instantly completes gathering on the next resource tile

+

Burden Bearer

Skill Effect: Harnessing the Musk Ox’s formidable strength and endurance, instantly complete the gathering upon reaching the next wilderness resources tile (excludes Secured Alliance Gathering Nodes).

Cooldown: 1d 11:00:00 / 1d 07:00:00 / 1d 03:00:00 / 23:00:00 / 19:00:00 / 15:00:00

Although it offers a unique utility by speeding up resource gathering, the Musk Ox quickly loses its value as players progress. In advanced stages, basic resources become abundant and rarely justify the long cooldown of this ability. Since it contributes nothing to combat and has limited usefulness for most players, the Musk Ox is best placed in Tier C.

Cave Hyena Grants a short boost to construction speed

+

Builder's Aide

Skill Effect: Skilled Hyenas adeptly deliver tools to the architect, increasing Construction Speed by 5.00% / 7.00% / 9.00% / 12.00% / 15.00% for 5 minutes.
Cooldown: 23:00:00

Although it provides a temporary construction speed boost, the effect lasts only 5 minutes and has a long cooldown, making the Cave Hyena one of the least impactful pets in the game. As construction becomes less relevant in mid to late game, this pet quickly loses all utility. For this reason, it is categorized as Tier C.
