Whiteout Survival: Jeronimo

Jeronimo is a legendary hero in Whiteout Survival, belonging to the Infantry class. He’s a part of the combat sub-class, which means he can give helpful boosts while you’re in combat during Expedition mode.

You have two options to unlock Jeronimo: you can buy him from the VIP packs, or you can earn him by achieving a top 10 rank in the Hall of Chiefs event.

Among the Gen-1 heroes, Jeronimo stands out with a special talent known as “Natural Leader.” This special talent sets Jeronimo apart, as he can provide constant inspiration to all other heroes, even when he’s not actively in battle. This inspiration leads to a 15% increase in both Lethality and Health for all the troops you deploy.

Jeronimo carries a sword as his main weapon, showcasing his style. With his stylish dark brown hair and choice of leather attire, he’s well-prepared to face the cold weather of the game. Notably, he wears gloves on both hands and a chest belt that adds to his distinctive appearance.

Jeronimo’s Story

Jeronimo was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was the heir of a local Duke in the old empire. Even after the old world’s collapse, he maintained the noble style of dress, decorum, and speech. Many people dislike his demeanor, but none can deny that Jeronimo is an invaluable asset to the Dawn Alliance.

He is an extremely capable swordfighter. Jeronimo’s techniques are the embodiment of sword-fighting science and art. Unfortunately, the intricacy of his techniques made it almost impossible for other soldiers to learn.

Jeronimo is also one of Dawn Alliance’s finest commanders, thanks to his education at the Imperial Military Academy. Jeronimo’s early life in the upper class has raised him with expensive tastes.

Such tastes are impossible to maintain even for an accomplished fighter like him. As a result, he accumulated a huge amount of debt. The debt drove him to work as a “contract commander” under Phaethon Mercenaries. He also became their duel master and trainer.

His years in the Phaethon had seen various engagements against the Dawn Alliance. Some members of the Alliance, Bahiti for one, can’t come to terms with that so easily.

Jeronimo’s upbringing and education made him a model of chivalry. He hated the underhanded techniques of Phaethon leaders, and his departure was an inevitability.

Phaethon’s revenge came quicker than Jeronimo’s resignation. In a fight against bandits, Jeronimo was outmanned and Phaethon’s promised reinforcements were nowhere to be seen.

He sent an urgent request to the Dawn Alliance for help instead. From there, it was easy enough for the Alliance to persuade Jeronimo to join them.

Off the battlefield, Jeronimo fancies himself as a poet, and most of his creations are love poetry. When they were on the same assignments, Cloris’ fighting prowess and supposed royal bloodline stirred something in Jeronimo’s heart.

However, below is Cloris’ response to Jeronimo’s many advances: “Of all the awkward, stupid, and moronic things you do and say, Jeronimo, your love poems are surely the worst.
