State vs State (SvS) in Whiteout Survival: The Ultimate Guide

The State vs State (SvS) event is by far the most important and intense competition in Whiteout Survival. It represents the peak of PvP content (player versus player), requiring alliance coordination, strategic use of troops, and careful preparation. This guide covers everything you need to know about SvS—how it works, when it happens, how to prepare, what to do during the event, and advanced tips to help your alliance dominate.

🧭 What is SvS?

State vs State, also known as Sunfire Castle, is a large-scale PvP event where two entire states battle for control over the Sunfire Castle, the central structure on the map, and several surrounding fortresses that provide strategic bonuses.

This event is the most significant milestone for any state, showcasing top alliances and setting the tone for future competitiveness.

📆 When Does SvS Happen?

SvS is not a weekly event. It happens in cycles every 3 to 4 weeks, usually on Sundays. There is a 5-day preparation phase before the actual battle.

Requirements:

• The state must be at least 40 days old.

• Players and alliances must reach a minimum power level.

• The state must be matched with another state of similar power.

Once active, the SvS event follows this structure:

⏳ Event Phases

1. Preparation Phase

Duration: 5 days

During this phase:

• State leaders receive scouting info on the opposing state.

• Players stockpile troops, resources, shields, and buffs.

• Side events like Power Growth and Troop Training offer extra rewards and help players prepare.

2. Invasion & Combat Phase

Duration: 24 hours (Sunday)

The main battlefield opens:

• Cross-state teleportation is unlocked — players can invade the enemy state or defend their own.

• Key objectives:

  • Kill enemy troops.

  • Attack and defend buildings.

  • Occupy and hold fortresses and the Sunfire Castle.

• The state with the most points and control of the castle wins SvS.

⚔️ Battlefield Strategy

4. Earn Personal Points

• Besides state points, you can earn PvP points for individual rewards.

• Kill troops, defend/attack buildings, and contribute consistently.

🏅 SvS Rewards

💡 Advanced Tips

✔️ Avoid unnecessary troop loss. Don’t send unprotected marches during the event.

✔️ Use shields smartly. If you’re being targeted hard, shield up—it’s better to stay in the fight.

✔️ Set traps. Let enemies attack your “weak” base, then surprise them with reinforced troops.

✔️ Disable troop movement notifications to avoid getting distracted by fake attacks.

✔️ Backup leadership. If your R5 or top officers go offline, others must be ready to step in.

✔️ Save battle reports to review strategies and formations for future events.

To win, your state needs solid planning, sharp execution, and constant communication. The glory, rewards, and influence you gain from winning SvS can shape your entire server’s future.
