🏹 Understanding the Bear Trap Event
Type: Alliance event
Frequency: Every 2 days
Duration: 30 minutes
Objective: Launch and join as many rallies as possible against the Raging Bear
Rewards: Essence Stones, gear components, resources
Unlike other PvE events, damage mitigation is irrelevant here—your goal is pure damage output. This means your hero choices, troop ratios, buffs, and march timing all matter.
🏠 Optimize Your Hive Setup
One of the most overlooked ways to boost damage is Hive positioning.
✅ Why it matters:
Reduces march time to rallies
Lets you fit in more rallies within 30 minutes
Ideal Hive Layout:
Strongest Rally Leads closest to the Bear Trap
Weaker players in outer rows
Compact design to minimize walk distance
Even small time savings per rally stack up into extra damage cycles during the event.
🦸 Best Heroes for Bear Hunt (Early Game)
Choosing the right heroes for rallies is critical. Let’s separate this into P2W/Strong accounts and F2P/Low Spenders.
⚔️ Troop Composition for Maximum Damage
The Bear Trap is about damage dealt, not survival.
Marksman > Lancers > Infantry in damage priority.
Suggested ratio:
80% Marksman
10% Infantry
10% Lancer
Early-game players often don’t have enough troops, so just send everything, but prioritize Marksman when possible.
💨 Timing & Rally Management
Join as many rallies as possible—quantity matters.
Stagger rallies → join ones close to launch (avoid wasting time on fresh 5-min queues).
Join rallies from stronger Rally Leads → better damage scaling.
Pro tip: Pre-set armies to join quickly without errors.
🧪 Buffs & Overlapping Events
Before the Bear Hunt starts:
✅ Activate Troop Attack Boost
✅ Activate Troop Lethality Boost
✅ Activate Deployment Capacity Boost
💡 Pro Strategy:
If another event overlaps with Bear Hunt (e.g., kill event), stack buffs so they apply to both.
🎯 Trap Enhancement: Don’t Forget
Every alliance can upgrade the Bear Trap with Explosive Arrowheads from Lighthouse Intel missions.
Maxing this gives +25% damage bonus to all alliance members.
Donate regularly before the event!
📊 Understanding Battle Reports
Rally reports show how many times hero skills triggered
Zinman’s skill = flat 25% damage boost
Bahiti’s skill = 50% chance for 50% damage → averages ~25%
While reports don’t show combat rounds, tracking skill triggers helps optimize hero choices.
✅ Quick Checklist to Maximize Damage
🔹 Relocate Hive for minimal march time
🔹 Choose correct rally heroes (Jeronimo, Zinman, Molly)
🔹 Join rallies with correct primary hero skills
🔹 Set troop ratio to maximize Marksman damage
🔹 Activate buffs before event starts
🔹 Donate Explosive Arrowheads to max Trap Level
🔹 Join rallies of the strongest Rally Leads
🏆 Conclusion
Maximizing your Bear Trap damage is about preparation, hero synergy, troop ratio, and timing. With the right strategy, you’ll:
Earn more Essence Stones
Boost your Hero Gear faster
Help your alliance climb rankings
Whether you’re a Rally Lead or Joiner, applying these tips will double or even triple your damage over time.
Now it’s your turn to crush the Bear! 🐻❄️
