Whiteout Survival Patrick
Patrick is a Generation 1 Epic Lancer who heals and supports heroes in Exploration while boosting troop Health and Attack in Expedition. His defensive reinforcement role comes from Super Nutrients. The Storehouse stamina feast is a separate city feature, not one of his combat skills. Checked in November 2026.
Patrick Skills and Priorities
Patrick is an Epic Lancer from Generation 1 with a support kit split across two modes. BBQ Feast helps a hero team recover and adds temporary Attack. Thick Belly protects Patrick himself, and Emergency Snack provides periodic Health recovery. His troop skills take a different approach: Super Nutrients raises Health and Caloric Booster raises Attack.
| Class | Lancer |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Epic |
| Generation | 1 |
| Recruitment | 10 shards |
| Shard sources | Lighthouse Intel, Hero Recruitment |
For Exploration and Arena, guides recommend BBQ Feast first, Thick Belly second and Emergency Snack third. The order puts his team contribution before his personal sustain. If you are instead preparing defensive troop reinforcements, Super Nutrients is the skill to inspect. It is the first Expedition entry, making it relevant when Patrick leads a joining march.
| Skill | Mode and effect | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | Level 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BBQ Feast | Exploration: Patrick prepares a lavish feast, restoring Health by Attack*200-280% to all troops and increasing Attack by 5-7% for all troops for 4s. | 200% / 5% | 220% / 5.5% | 240% / 6% | 260% / 6.5% | 280% / 7% |
| Thick Belly | Exploration: Patrick's protective blubber reduces damage taken by 10-30%. | 10% | 15% | 20% | 25% | 30% |
| Emergency Snack | Exploration: Patrick's regular snacking restores Health equal to Attack*50-70% every 5s. | 50% | 55% | 60% | 65% | 70% |
| Super Nutrients | Expedition: Patrick's culinary masterpieces invigorate our troops, increasing Health by 5-25% for all troops. | 5% | 10% | 15% | 20% | 25% |
| Caloric Booster | Expedition: Patrick's gourmet meals motivate and unleash the potential of our soldiers, increasing Attack by 5-25% for all troops. | 5% | 10% | 15% | 20% | 25% |
In the BBQ Feast row, the level columns list healing first and the temporary Attack increase second. The healing amount is based on Patrick's Attack, while the smaller percentage is the separate team buff. These two numbers describe different effects, so adding them together would not give a meaningful healing total.
Patrick vs Sergey
Sergey and Patrick are both defensive reinforcement options, but their contributions solve different problems. Patrick supplies troop Health; Sergey supplies damage reduction. Neither comparison should be decided by calling Patrick a troop healer, because the recovery skills shown in his Exploration group are not his garrison effects.
If an alliance leader asks for Health, Patrick's first Expedition skill is the relevant contribution. If the requested effect is damage reduction, compare the Sergey option. Keep the selected lead hero aligned with the reinforcement plan instead of choosing whichever character has a higher total power number. Power combines several kinds of development that may not apply to this assignment.
The two heroes also occupy different classes. Patrick is a Lancer, while Sergey is Infantry, so they can be part of a defensive pairing rather than always being competing replacements. That does not mean every reinforcement march should carry both. First identify the requested contribution, then fill the remaining positions around the actual task and available heroes.
Stamina and Storehouse
The stamina search attached to Patrick refers to the Storehouse feast. It is a city feature associated with him, not a hidden effect in BBQ Feast. Opening Patrick's combat skill screen therefore answers a different question from checking whether the city has a stamina claim ready. Use the Storehouse screen for the available feast and its conditions.
Keep that distinction when planning an upgrade. Raising a healing percentage in hero battles improves a combat effect. Raising troop Health supports a march. Neither percentage establishes the size, timing or eligibility of a Storehouse stamina reward. A city claim should be handled through its own feature, and the conditions shown there decide if you can collect it.
For the wider building context, the buildings overview helps locate city systems separately from the hero roster. This separation prevents spending combat resources in an attempt to improve a city feature. Check the relevant screen before deciding that a new skill level is needed for a stamina claim.
A short clip that steps through every Patrick skill card, including BBQ Feast, Super Nutrients and Caloric Booster.
Gear for a Support Build
Patrick has no exclusive gear of his own, so he wears the regular hero gear set. Guides recommend Goggles and Boots as a balanced gear priority. Treat that as advice for developing a support hero, then compare the cost with your main damage dealers. A useful support upgrade can still be a lower priority than fixing the hero responsible for finishing a fight.
Equipment attributes matter to his personal battle role. BBQ Feast scales its healing from Attack, while Patrick must stay alive to continue contributing. That gives you two questions to review in actual fights: does his healing meaningfully help the team, and does he survive long enough to use it? Avoid judging a gear change solely by the power increase shown after upgrading.
The hero equipment guide covers the ordinary gear system. There is no Patrick widget budget to add beside it. Keep that clear when comparing him with Mythic Lancers whose pages list named exclusive items and equipment skills. Their additional system does not create an equivalent item for Patrick.
| Maximum base stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Exploration Attack | 1,776 |
| Exploration Defense | 2,220 |
| Exploration Health | 17,760 |
| Expedition Attack | 140.11% |
| Expedition Defense | 140.11% |
The table separates Patrick's maximum personal attributes from his troop bonuses. Exploration Attack and Health describe the hero, while Expedition Attack and Defense are percentages. These figures give context to a completed build; a newly recruited Patrick will not start at this ceiling. Compare the battle results of your own current build before reallocating gear from another support.
Shards and Star Budget
Patrick requires 10 shards for recruitment, followed by 1,065 on the standard ascension ladder. Some cost summaries count recruitment differently, so allow between 1,065 and 1,075 shards when reading a quoted overall total and check what it includes. The leveling reference explains the shared star steps without repeating the full table here.
Lighthouse Intel and Hero Recruitment are his listed shard routes. That makes gradual development a reasonable plan for a hero whose role is often support. Guides recommend using those naturally earned shards instead of forcing every star as soon as possible. Assign an actual job to the next upgrade, such as stronger hero-team healing or a higher troop Health effect.
For a defensive reinforcement assignment, skill development can matter more directly than a larger power display. Inspect Super Nutrients before sending Patrick and confirm the leader's requested setup. For an Arena team, watch when BBQ Feast is used and what survives afterward. These two checks assess different parts of the same hero without assuming that success in one mode guarantees success in the other.
Patrick vs Jessie
Jessie is the damage-oriented alternative when a rally needs an offensive joiner. Patrick's first skill supplies Health instead. Use him for the defensive job requested by the alliance, and consult the Bear Hunt page when choosing attack contributions for that event.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Patrick restore stamina?
Patrick is associated with the Storehouse stamina feast. That city feature is separate from his five combat skills, so improving BBQ Feast or Super Nutrients does not turn either into a stamina-restoration skill. Check the Storehouse feature itself for the available claim and its current conditions rather than using combat skill levels as a schedule.
Can Patrick heal a garrison?
His Exploration skills heal heroes and help him survive personal battles. They do not restore troop Health in a garrison. His defensive Expedition contribution is Super Nutrients, which increases the Health attribute of all troops by up to 25%. A larger Health pool is different from recovering losses after damage.
What is Patrick best at in Arena?
Patrick provides team support through BBQ Feast, with healing equal to 200-280% of his Attack and a temporary Attack buff. Guides recommend upgrading that skill before Thick Belly and Emergency Snack for Exploration or Arena use. He complements damage dealers; his listed kit does not replace the need for someone to defeat enemies.
Does Patrick have exclusive gear?
Patrick has no hero-specific exclusive item in this kit. Develop ordinary hero equipment instead, with guides suggesting Goggles and Boots as a balanced starting priority. That avoids planning a widget purchase for an item he does not have. Reassess the equipment budget against the role and strength of the rest of your roster.
Should Patrick or Jessie lead my joiner march?
Use the hero whose first Expedition effect matches the rally assignment. Patrick brings Super Nutrients for troop Health and suits defensive reinforcement plans. Jessie is the offensive comparison for a damage-focused joiner. Your alliance's instructions should decide the slot; Patrick's Exploration healing does not change his Expedition role when joining an attack.
