Patrick

Patrick is a support lancer-warrior focused on troop survivability – both in raids and exploration. His +25% HP buff (“Super Nutrients”) is a strong defensive asset, especially for F2P players and in the early/mid-game, though its value slightly drops in the late meta. When joining rallies to defend an objective, Patrick can successfully be used as an alternative to Sergey.

Advantages of the hero Patrick in Whiteout Survival

• Expedition – Joiner: becomes a key support – the +25% HP buff applies to all units, making him great for outpost defense and raids.
• Expedition – Leader: gains even more effectiveness with the ability to activate a second buff, “Caloric Booster,” useful in longer battles.
• Arena and Exploration: three skills: group healing (BBQ Feast), damage reduction (Thick Belly), and health regeneration (Emergency Snack) – provide decent durability.
• Availability: epic hero, unlocked through recruitment and missions. A great long-term F2P option.

Drawbacks of the hero Patrick in Whiteout Survival

• Scaling: Patrick’s buffs become less valuable with the arrival of Gen 3+ heroes with stronger DPS/CC.
• Exploration: lack of crowd control limits his use in PvP Arena, especially in late game.
• Longer Arena battles require him to stay alive – if he falls early, “Caloric Booster” may not trigger, so it’s best to protect him behind a frontliner.

Usefulness evaluation for Patrick

Game Mode	Rating	Notes
Arena	👍👍	Backline + healing, but lacks CC
Exploration	👍👍	Durability and regen, but no CC
Expedition	👍👍👍	Excellent HP buff for F2P and beyond
Raid – Leader	👍👍	Solid option with an offensive buff
Raid – Joiner	👍👍👍	Strong HP boost

🧠 Pro tip: In the Arena, place Patrick behind a tank or in the center of the backline – the longer he survives, the more effective his healing and support buffs will be.

🧠 Pro tip 2: When joining a rally to defend a map objective, place Patrick on the left side so his HP buff is activated.
