Whiteout Survival Hero Guide and Skill Order: Natalia

Natalia – “Her most extraordinary ability is to communicate with and befriend wild animals. She is a good companion for fellow survivors as well, although she tends to talk non-stop on topics of her own interest.”

* 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 Natalia a good Hero in Whiteout Survival?

Natalia excels as a frontline Hero in both Exploration and Arena battles, thanks to her powerful combination of offensive capabilities and crowd control. Her first Expedition Skill, Beast Charge, stands out as a highlight, delivering significant AoE damage while guaranteeing a 1-second stun to all enemies within range.

In Expedition battle rallies, Natalia continues to shine as a rally leader with skills like Wildling Roar, which provides all Troops with a chance to stun enemies, and her Queen of the Wild and Call of the Wild abilities, both of which enhance the offensive power of her Troops. However, her skills are less effective in rally-joining scenarios, where the priority lies in the 1st Expedition Skill with damage buffs that benefit the entire rally. In these cases, Heroes like Jessie or Jeronimo are far better suited to the role.

Natalia’s value largely depends on accessibility and investment. She is not obtainable for free-to-play players, and while low-spenders may acquire her, unlocking her full potential requires significant upgrades. Without the ability to max her out, other Infantry Heroes such as Sergey or Flint can often be more practical choices due to their accessibility. For those willing to invest more heavily, Natalia becomes a strong option, though even in this case, Jeronimo may be a better choice for his broader utility and superior Expedition Skill set if you must choose 1.
