Whiteout Survival Hero Guide and Skill Order: Jessie

Jessie – “Always able to inspire all those around her, but this is not her most valuable skill. She is an excellent Machinist, probably one of the very best.”

* Please note that hero stats are active during Exploration game modes and troop stat buffs are active during Expedition game modes. Please read our Whiteout Survival Hero Guide for more details on how these work.

Is Jessie a good Hero in Whiteout Survival?

During Generations 1 and 2, Jessie is an indispensable Hero who is used by both F2P and P2W players alike. In particular, it is her usefulness as a lead Hero in Expedition game modes such as Bear Hunt and PvP where her first Expedition Skill, Stand of Arms, boosts damage dealt by all troops by a huge 25% when at its max level. In addition, as an Epic Hero, she is very easy to ascend with Shards available from Intel Missions, Recruitment, and the Trials Event. Aside from this, she also does a decent job in Exploration game modes and can hold her own on the front line despite her role as a Lancer due to her Exploration Skill, Defense Upgrade, which increases defense by 70% once at level 5. However, you’ll want to replace her here, or at least move her back, once you have unlocked Flint in Generation 2.

Gear

As an Epic Hero, Jessie can have just the usual 4 pieces of Gear applied. However, as a Lancer, you should focus on upgrading the equipment that improves Hero Attack and Health, Escort Attack and Health, and Lancer Lethality: Goggles and Boots. This will get you the best return on your investment and represents a balanced build. Check out our Gear Guide for more information on accumulating and upgrading Gear.
