Whiteout Survival Reina
Reina is a Mythic Lancer from Generation 4 in Whiteout Survival. Her troop skills combine normal-attack damage, dodge chances and extra Lancer attacks, while her Exploration kit adds area damage and immobilization. Build her for a defined combat role before replacing Mia or Jessie with her. Checked in November 2026.
Reina Recruitment and Role
Reina's direct shard routes are Hall of Heroes and Daily Deals. She joins the roster after the earlier Lancers, so the practical question is what your account gains by developing another one. Her Exploration abilities suit hero battles with damage and control; her Expedition skills separate benefits for all troops from an extra attack reserved for Lancers. Use the generation timeline to place her arrival alongside other upgrades.
| Hero class | Lancer |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Mythic |
| Generation | 4 |
| Recruitment | 10 Reina shards |
| Shard routes | Hall of Heroes, Daily Deals |
| Exclusive gear | Ninjaken - Raikiri |
Reina Skills by Level
The table separates hero battles from troop battles and lists each skill's percentage at every upgrade level. Read the effect next to the numbers: a dodge chance, damage multiplier and damage bonus describe different things. Poison of Demon also immobilizes its target for 1.5 seconds, and Shadow Blade has a fixed 25% activation chance.
| Skill | Mode and effect | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | Level 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phantom Assault | Exploration: Area damage from an illusion ambush. | 300% | 330% | 360% | 390% | 420% |
| Vanishing Technique | Exploration: Chance to dodge incoming Normal Attack damage. | 5% | 10% | 15% | 20% | 25% |
| Poison of Demon | Exploration: Hero-priority damage and immobilization. | 100% | 110% | 120% | 130% | 140% |
| Assassin's Instinct | Expedition: Increases normal attack damage for all troops. | 10% | 15% | 20% | 25% | 30% |
| Swift Jive | Expedition: All troops gain a chance to dodge normal attacks. | 4% | 8% | 12% | 16% | 20% |
| Shadow Blade | Expedition: Lancers have a chance to perform an extra attack. | 120% | 140% | 160% | 180% | 200% |
For Exploration, Phantom Assault supplies area damage, Vanishing Technique offers chance-based protection and Poison of Demon adds hero-priority control. Increasing Poison of Demon's damage does not extend its immobilization duration. This makes its control useful to evaluate separately from its damage when deciding how Reina fits into a hero team.
For a rally joiner build, guides focus on Assassin's Instinct because the first Expedition skill is the relevant contribution from the leading hero in the joining march. For a developed leader, Swift Jive and Shadow Blade also matter. Avoid spending books on the wrong mode simply because its percentage looks larger.
Reina vs Jessie
Jessie increases damage dealt, while Reina's first Expedition effect increases normal-attack damage. A larger percentage on Reina's skill screen does not make those bonuses interchangeable. Guides recommend comparing the effect your alliance wants and the skill level you can actually bring, especially when building an additional joiner.
Keep a developed Jessie available while raising Reina. That gives you a usable existing option during the new hero's shard and book investment. Decide which march needs Reina before committing scarce materials; there is little value in an expensive replacement that does not solve a current lineup problem.
Reina Shards and Stars
Plan for 10 shards to recruit Reina, then 1,065 for the standard ascension path, or 1,075 starting from a locked hero. The full tier breakdown belongs in the hero leveling reference. Having enough to recruit her is the beginning of the plan, so check how you will keep earning shards before retiring your current Lancer.
Hall of Heroes is the event route to watch; Daily Deals is the purchase route listed for her. Use the event window in your state when planning the timing. Guides advise players with limited resources to weigh Reina against later combat needs rather than committing every available shard as soon as she appears.
Reina's launch in the Hall of Heroes is covered here, along with her skill set, her gear piece and a comparison with Mia.
Ninjaken and Combat Formations
Ninjaken - Raikiri adds Silhouette Strike and Fiery Invasion. At its maximum skill effect, Silhouette Strike has a 40% chance to throw an extra kunai for 45% of Attack on a Normal Attack. Fiery Invasion raises rally troop Lethality by up to 15%. It is Lethality, so keep that description separate from a generic damage increase.
The complete exclusive gear upgrade uses 275 hero-specific Widgets. Guides suggest buying into that progression when Reina already has an active combat job. The Hero Gear guide explains the broader equipment system; widgets are another commitment on top of shards and skill books.
Guides propose an attacking rally with Jeronimo, Reina and Greg. Suggested troop mixes vary, which is a reason to adapt the lineup to your developed troops rather than copy a ratio without checking your report. Reina's dodge and extra attack introduce chance-based effects, so judge more than a single outcome.
| Suggested attacking team | Infantry | Lancers | Marksmen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeronimo, Reina, Greg | 60% | 40% | 0% |
| Jeronimo, Reina, Greg | 50% | 20% | 30% |
Reina vs Mia
Mia remains a recommended Bear Hunt leader option because more of her Expedition kit affects all troops. Guides offer Jeronimo, Mia and Alonso as well as a Reina version. Those are account-dependent alternatives, so compare your existing stars, skill levels and gear before choosing the Lancer slot.
For Bear Hunt, test the team as a whole with similar troop numbers and upgrades. Keep Arena performance out of that decision: Reina's immobilization and personal dodge belong to a different battle mode. A hero can earn an Arena slot without also becoming your strongest Bear Hunt leader.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Reina worth it for a free player?
Reina can fill a Generation 4 Lancer slot, but guides recommend a selective investment tied to Arena, PvP or an alliance role. Before spending general shards, decide which job she will take from your current Lancer. A normal-attack bonus of 30% alone is a weak reason to abandon an already developed hero.
Can Reina replace Mia in Bear Hunt?
Treat that as a lineup test. Guides propose both Jeronimo, Mia and Alonso and a version with Reina in the Lancer slot. Mia is often recommended for leading because more of her Expedition effects help the whole march. Compare complete teams with similar upgrades rather than treating a later generation as an automatic replacement.
Does Reina dodge every kind of damage?
No. Vanishing Technique describes incoming Normal Attacks in Exploration, while Swift Jive gives troops a chance to dodge normal attacks in Expedition. Their maximum chances are 25% and 20%, respectively. Neither description promises immunity to every attack or permanent protection, so a dodge build still needs a durable supporting formation.
When does Reina become available?
Reina belongs to Generation 4. Approximate timelines place this stage between server days 195 and 200, but the Hall of Heroes window shown in your state is the useful recruitment date. Save resources around that event window rather than assuming that every server opens her on the same numbered day.
Is Reina connected to Mia in the story?
Yes. Mia rescued Reina and took her into her traveling caravan. Reina had been raised as an assassin by the Phaethon Mercenaries and became a target after discovering a secret. She now protects Mia and gathers intelligence through stealth. Their story connection does not mean that placing them together automatically creates a special combat bonus.
