Is Patrick a good Hero in Whiteout Survival?

Although Patrick is a decent Lancer Hero, he will typically play second fiddle to 2 other Lancer Heroes you have at your disposal in Generation 1: Molly and Jessie. Both of these alternatives are some of the Best F2P Players in the early Generations. In particular, they are much easier to obtain than Patrick with Patrick only available from Recruitment and Intel Missions therefore requiring Epic General Hero Shards if you want to max him out in the early part of the game. Nevertheless, Patrick does have his uses if you choose to pursue him. Firstly, he is a good option for Expedition Defense due to a first Expedition Skill, Super Nutrients, that increases health by 10% for all Troops giving your Troops much more durability against the attacking enemy. In addition, he can be highly effective in Arena with Exploration Skills that keep healing your army, ensuring they can outlast the enemy.

Gear

As an Epic Hero, Patrick 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.
