Bear Hunt

The alliance’s recurring rally event against the Raging Bear. It’s pure damage, with no defense to worry about.

TL;DR Join every rally with Jessie (or Jasser/Jeronimo) in your first slot, send your best troops Marksman-heavy, and keep marches cycling for the full 30 minutes.

How it works

  • Alliance R4/R5 members open the hunt at the alliance’s Hunting Trap. It then runs for 30 minutes.
  • The trap recharges about every 47.5 hours, so most alliances run it every other day.
  • You usually need to have been in the alliance for about 46 hours to take part. Switching alliances right before a hunt can lock you out.
  • Rewards scale with damage dealt. They include Essence Stones, used for Mythic hero gear Mastery Forging.
  • The bear isn’t a player march, so you don’t need a defensive formation. Everything goes into damage.

Community starting points. Hero stars, gear and widgets can change which lineup does best, so compare battle reports.

Joining rallies

  • Only your first hero’s first expedition skill counts when you join.
  • Jessie (Stand of Arms), Jasser (Tactical Genius) and Jeronimo (Lone Wolf) each add up to +25% troop damage at max skill level.
  • Jessie is usually the easiest to build, so most joiners use her.
  • Only a handful of joiner skills apply per rally, and higher levels win. A maxed joiner skill matters more than stars.

Getting more damage

  • Upgrade the Bear Trap with Explosive Arrowheads. Each level adds damage against the bear, up to +25% at level 5.
  • Rally leaders should be the players with the highest deployment capacity.
  • Launch new rallies constantly (one guide suggests every ~30 seconds) and join promptly so no march sits idle.
  • Send your highest-tier troops. Damage counts per march, so join as many rallies as you can.
