Whiteout Survival Transfer Ticket Cost & State Transfer Guide
One-page guide for the State Transfer event: phases, how tickets (Transfer Passes) work, how to prepare, and how to stay under caps without wasting progress.
Always verify the current event rules in-game (they can change). If you plan to transfer to State 2277, contact us in Discord early so we can help you plan.
What is the State Transfer event?
State Transfer is a limited-time event that lets you permanently move your city to another state if you meet requirements and pay Transfer Passes (tickets). Transfers are limited by state capacity and a Power Cap set by the target state during the event.
Quick overview (in 60 seconds)
- Transfers are not always available; the event appears occasionally and is announced in-game.
- The target state sets a Power Cap. If you are above it, you may need special handling/invites (depending on phase).
- You pay Transfer Passes (tickets). The number depends on your Transfer Score vs target state rating.
- There are 3 phases (pre-transfer, invitational, open).
- Open Transfer is usually the “rush” moment: first come, first served until state slots fill.
Event structure (3 phases)
| Phase | Typical duration | What happens | What you should do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase I: Pre-Transfer | ≈ 3 days | Power cap is set; presidents review requests; players scout states. | Contact target states + alliances, confirm your fit (timezone/events), and avoid power spikes. |
| Phase II: Invitational Transfer | ≈ 2 days | Presidents can invite players to transfer early (ordinary & special invites). | If you are above cap or need priority, coordinate with state leadership ASAP. |
| Phase III: Open Transfer | ≈ 2 days | Anyone under the cap can transfer until slots fill. | Be ready on time with passes. Have your target alliance ready before the window opens. |
Power Cap vs Transfer Pass cost (don’t mix these up)
| Concept | What it affects | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Power Cap | Whether you are allowed to enter/move (especially during Open Transfer). | People lower power too late, or lower the wrong things and still miss cap timing. |
| Transfer Pass cost | How many passes you must pay to transfer. | People dismiss troops thinking cost goes down (usually it doesn’t). |
| Slots / capacity | Even if you meet cap and have passes, a state may fill up. | Waiting too long during Open Transfer and losing the slot. |
What affects Transfer Pass cost?
Transfer Pass cost is based on your Transfer Score compared to the target state’s rating. Higher transfer score usually means more passes needed.
Transfer Score (what usually counts)
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Progress | Furnace level |
| Chief | Chief Gear, Chief Charms |
| Heroes | Hero power, hero gear power |
| Pets | Pet power |
| Experts | Expert power (if applicable in your version) |
Lowering power: what helps (cap) vs what helps (ticket cost)
| Goal | What works (observed) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Get under the Power Cap (eligibility / special invite) | Yes: “power reduction” actions before the snapshot check (see checklist below). | We have seen this work when done before reset (Saturday → Sunday), between SVS battle and reset. |
| Reduce Transfer Pass cost (ticket cost) | Not guaranteed. | Cost seems to depend on deeper progression/score. Do not rely on “power tricks” to lower the pass cost. |
How to get Transfer Passes (tickets)
| Source | Frequency | Details / notes |
|---|---|---|
| Alliance Shop | Weekly (typical) | Often 1 pass/week for a fixed token cost. Make it a habit: buy it every week if you plan to transfer in the future. |
| In-game packs | Monthly reset (typical) | Tiered packs that unlock progressively. Useful to top up if you’re short, but try to plan ahead. |
| Planning tip | Always | Do not spend passes until you have (1) target state confirmed, (2) alliance placement confirmed, (3) transfer window confirmed. |
Ticket saving plan (practical routine)
- Buy the weekly pass in the Alliance Shop as early as possible after refresh.
- Prioritize activities that generate alliance tokens (events + participation).
- Keep a “minimum stash” before you shop other things (example: always keep X tokens reserved for the next weekly pass).
- If transfer is announced: stop “fun upgrades” for a few days so you don’t increase score/cost right before the window.
Lower Power for the Power Cap (avoid Special Invite)
Transfer tickets are fixed. Lowering power is only useful to get under the Power Cap (eligibility) and avoid using a Special Invite. For the step-by-step checklist, use this focused page:

| Packs / shop | Some pack progress/reset rules may apply (varies by game version). |
