The Labyrinth is one of the most rewarding weekly events in Whiteout Survival, but many players fail to maximize their progress because they use inefficient troop formations or waste their event currency. This guide will explain the best troop ratios, march strategies, and shop priorities to help you clear more floors and collect more rewards.
Whiteout Survival Labyrinth Event Schedule
Before building the right strategy, it is important to understand how the Labyrinth event is organized throughout the week. Different stages focus on different upgrade systems, so the best approach may change depending on the stage you are challenging.
The weekly schedule is divided into several parts:
- Monday & Tuesday – Land of the Brave: Focuses mainly on hero equipment progression.
- Wednesday & Thursday – Cave of Monsters and Glowstone Mine: Related to pets and Chief Charms.
- Friday & Saturday – Earth Lab and Dark Forge: Connected with research and Chief Gear upgrades.
- Sunday – Gaia’s Heart: The final stage of the week with its own special mechanics.
Not every stage works the same way. Some challenges only allow a single march without heroes, while others allow three complete marches with heroes. Knowing when to adjust your formation is the key to pushing higher floors.
Best Troop Ratio for Most Labyrinth Stages
For stages such as Cave of Monsters, Glowstone Mine, Earth Lab, and Dark Forge, you do not need complicated formations. A balanced troop setup can perform consistently and save you from constantly changing your army.
The recommended ratio is:
45% Infantry / 10% Lancers / 45% Marksmen
This formation provides a good balance between durability and damage output. Infantry absorbs enemy attacks, marksmen provide strong damage from the backline, and a small number of lancers add extra offensive support.
Some players experiment with different combinations, such as increasing infantry for more defense or adding more lancers for burst damage. However, the 45-10-45 setup remains one of the most reliable options for most players, especially if your heroes and equipment are not extremely advanced.
Advanced March Strategy for Land of the Brave and Gaia’s Heart
The biggest difference in Land of the Brave and Gaia’s Heart is that these stages allow three marches with heroes. Instead of spreading your strongest heroes across all teams, it is better to concentrate your power into two strong marches and use your remaining heroes for the third one.
First March: Infantry and Lancer Focus
The first march should be your strongest frontline team. Use:
60% Infantry / 40% Lancers / 0% Marksmen
This formation creates a durable army that can survive longer battles while maintaining steady damage.
For heroes, prioritize characters that improve infantry and lancer performance. Heroes like Greg are valuable because they increase survivability by reducing incoming damage. Lynn is another strong option because of her damage boosts, while later-game heroes such as Bradley can become excellent choices as your account develops.
This march should usually receive your best equipment because it will carry a large part of your Labyrinth progression.
Second March: Mia-Based Hybrid Formation
The second march works differently because it is built around Mia’s abilities. Since Mia can provide useful bonuses across multiple troop types, this team does not require many lancers.
Recommended ratio:
54% Infantry / 3% Lancers / 43% Marksmen
Although the lancer percentage looks unusual, this setup works because Mia’s skills provide enough support to make the march effective without relying heavily on lancers.
For this team, use:
- Your second strongest infantry hero
- Your strongest marksman hero
- Mia
This creates a powerful mixed army that can deal consistent damage while maintaining enough protection.
Third March: Balanced Remaining Team
The third march does not need to compete with your first two teams. Instead, use your remaining heroes with a balanced formation:
50% Infantry / 20% Lancers / 30% Marksmen
This march mainly provides additional damage and helps you overcome extra floors. Even if it is weaker than the first two teams, it still contributes valuable progress.
The reason this strategy works is simple: most players do not have nine fully upgraded heroes with top-tier gear. Concentrating resources into stronger primary marches is much more effective than creating three average teams.
How to Spend Labyrinth Shop Currency
Clearing more floors is only half of the Labyrinth event. Spending your rewards correctly is equally important.
The most valuable purchase priority is:
1. Mithril
Mithril should usually be your first choice because it becomes a major bottleneck when upgrading hero equipment later in the game. Stocking up early will help your heroes continue improving.
2. Lucky Hero Gear Chests and Hero XP Items
After Mithril, focus on items that directly improve your heroes. Strong heroes are essential for almost every game mode, so these resources provide long-term value.
3. Chief Charms or Fire Crystal Shards
Your choice depends on your current goal:
- Choose Chief Charms if you want immediate power increases and stronger stats.
- Choose Fire Crystal Shards if you are pushing toward advanced troops like T11.
4. Chief Gear Materials
These can be purchased after your main priorities are completed, especially if you still have extra Labyrinth currency.
Extra Tips to Push More Labyrinth Floors
A few small improvements can make a noticeable difference:
- Upgrade the heroes used in your strongest two marches first instead of spreading resources evenly.
- Adjust your formation based on the stage rules. A single-march stage requires a different approach from a three-march stage.
- Save important resources before weekly resets so you can maximize event progress.
- Test different hero combinations because the best setup depends on your account development and available heroes.
Many players can push significantly higher floors simply by changing their troop ratios and focusing their strongest heroes into the right marches.
Conclusion
The Labyrinth event rewards players who use the right strategy. Use 45/10/45 for most stages, build specialized marches for Land of the Brave and Gaia’s Heart, and prioritize valuable resources like Mithril in the shop.
