How the Bear Hunt Event Works
To make it easier, let’s divide the event into 3 phases:
1️⃣ Preparation Phase – Setting up your troops, buffs, and strategy
2️⃣ Rally Phase – Dealing damage and optimizing your marches
3️⃣ Rewards Phase – Claiming rewards based on total damage
Let’s go step by step.

Phase 1 – Preparation Phase
This is where most players win or lose the event. If you prepare correctly, your damage will skyrocket. There are two layers of preparation: personal and group strategy.
✅ Personal Preparation
Upgrade the Bear Trap

Donate Explosive Arrowheads obtained from Lighthouse Intel Missions.
Try to reach Bear Trap Level 5 to unlock maximum attack bonus.
- Maximize Research Center

- Focus on Growth and Battle Research that affect expeditions:
Command Tactics – Extra marches during expeditions
Assault Techniques – Boost troop lethality
Weapons Prep – Increase troop attack stats
Regimental Expansion – More troops per rally
Upgrade Chief Gear & Charms

Chief gear provides huge attack and lethality boosts for Infantry, Lancer, and Marksman troops.
Optional: Requires Furnace Level 22+.
Level Up Hero Skills & Gear

Focus on Mythic Heroes and their exclusive weapons.
Higher hero gear levels significantly increase damage output.
Activate Buff Items

Before the event starts, activate buffs:
✅ Troop Attack Up
✅ Troop Lethality Up
✅ Deployment Capacity Boost
Recall All Active Marches
Make sure all your troops are at home so you can use every march slot for rallies.
✅ Group Preparation
Coordinate with Alliance Members
Place strongest members near the Bear Trap to minimize march time.
Mid/low power members should stay 1–2 rows behind.
Pre-plan Rallies
Decide who will initiate the first rallies.
Set a communication channel (Discord/Alliance Chat) to avoid idle marches.
Phase 2 – Rally Phase
This is where you deal damage to the Raging Bear. You need to focus on two damage metrics:
Personal Damage: The total damage you inflict on the Raging Bear during the event.
Alliance Damage: Total damage of all members combined.
✅ How to Maximize Personal Damage
Initiate & Join Rallies Frequently
Always join rallies ASAP.
If you’re strong, initiate rallies to keep the damage flowing.
Optimize March Timing
Each march should take ≤ 6 minutes.
Use March Speed Accelerators if needed.
Free-to-Play vs. P2W Marches
F2P players can typically run ~25 marches in 30 minutes.
P2W players with more march slots & speedups can reach ~30 marches.
Final 10-Minute Strategy
In the last 10 minutes, rallies become crowded.
Coordinate with weaker players to start “dummy rallies” (send 1 troop), so stronger members can join and deal maximum damage.
Phase 3 – Rewards Phase

Rewards are based on damage contribution.
🎁 Possible rewards include:
Resources
Alliance Tokens
Hero Gear Components
Essence Stones
💡 Higher damage = better rewards!
Advanced Tips & Hacks
🔥 1. Time Buffs Correctly
Activate buffs right before the event starts to avoid wasting duration.
🔥 2. Use the Right Heroes
Pick heroes with high damage multipliers in rallies (usually Mythic tier).
🔥 3. Coordinate Dummy Rallies
As explained earlier, this is crucial in the final 10 minutes to avoid long queues.
🔥 4. Keep Troops Healthy
Ensure all troops are fully healed before the event.
