Bear Hunt Rally Optimizer
The ultimate tool to maximize your Bear Hunt damage & rewards — Rally Leader Edition
⚔️ Step 1 — Server Stage & Troop Ratio
You are the Rally Leader. Archers dominate damage — Infantry and Cavalry exist mainly to activate multi-troop hero skills. Pick a preset or dial in your own ratio below.
🌱 Early Server
Inf 10% · Cav 30% · Arch 60%
⚔️ Mid Game
Inf 10% · Cav 20% · Arch 70%
🔥 Late Game
Inf 1% · Cav 10% · Arch 89%
Inf 10%
Cav 20%
Arch 70%
🎛️ Custom Ratio (sliders + text — must total 100%)
✅ Total: 100% — Ready
⚠️ 5,000 Infantry minimum enforced — Several hero skills require infantry to be present to trigger. The calculator enforces a 5,000 floor per squad and warns you in results if it's still too low.
📊 Step 2 — Your Troops & March Setup
These are YOUR additional marches, not other players joining your rally.

= 1 Leader team + 3 Follower teams
Enter your stats to estimate damage per rally and total event damage.
📊 Step 3 — Optimized Formation
📖 Step 4 — Full Event Guide & Tips
⏱️ Duration: 30 minutes per event
🔄 Frequency: Roughly every 2 days
🎯 Goal: Maximize damage — the bear does NOT kill your troops
🏆 Max Reward: 1.2 billion damage threshold
🏰 Traps: 2 Bear Traps available since April 2025
🛡️ Defense: Irrelevant — only offense matters.
Damage = Lethality × Attack × Troop Power
Lethality is often 3–4× lower than Attack — boosting Lethality gives larger marginal gains. Prioritize it first.
The last rally should be called 5 minutes before the event ends to ensure all troops arrive and deal damage within the window.
Archers always dominate. Keep minimum Infantry/Cavalry only to activate multi-troop hero skills.
| Stage | Infantry | Cavalry | Archers | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Server | 10% | 30% | 60% | Hero skills may require mixed troops |
| Mid Game | 10% | 20% | 70% | Most common stage — solid all-round |
| Late Game | 1% | 10% | 89% | Maxed archer lethality build |
| Min. Infantry | Always keep minimum 5,000 infantry | Required for some damage mechanics | ||
Fill-to-max logic: When archer count is limited and a squad falls below march cap, remaining slots are filled with cavalry. Cavalry still triggers multi-troop skills and deals damage — far better than empty march slots.
| Role | What Matters | Hero Slot Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Rally Leader | Hero stats, gear, personal buffs | 3 strongest offensive gold heroes |
| Joiner (slots available) | First hero's first Expedition skill | Chenko / Yeonwoo / Amane in slot 1 |
| Joiner (4 skills full) | March capacity only | Blue hero in slot 1 to avoid overwrite |
Joiner Hero Rankings
Chenko
+25% Lethality
Use max 2 — stacking 4 is suboptimal
Amane
+Attack Boost
Different effect_id from Chenko — stacks multiplicatively
Yeonwoo
+25% Lethality
Equivalent to Chenko — top pick
Amadeus
+Lethality
Good if not needed as leader
Rosa
Chance-based
Skill is probability-based — does not reliably stack
Quinn / Diana
Defense/Gather
Defensive heroes lower overall rally damage — never use as joiner
Upgrade the Pitfall to Level 5 before every event. Total cost: 1,900 Hunting Arrows. With 40 active members doing Intel Missions (24 arrows/day each), the alliance generates ~1,920 arrows in 2 days — exactly enough to max it every cycle.
| Level | Arrows Required | Attack Bonus | Cumulative Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 200 | +5% | 200 |
| Level 2 | 300 | +10% | 500 |
| Level 3 | 400 | +15% | 900 |
| Level 4 | 500 | +20% | 1,400 |
| Level 5 ★ | 500 | +25% | 1,900 |
Strongest Players Lead
Only top-power members should start rallies. Their gear and stats set the base damage for everyone in that rally.
Leapfrog Rallies
As soon as your march returns, immediately join the next rally. Keep all your marches rotating all 30 minutes.
Move Castles Close
Rally leaders should teleport their castle as close to the Bear Trap as possible before the event. Shorter march = more rallies.
Save Troop Presets
Save your optimal ratio (e.g. 1/10/89) as a preset before the event. Reloading it manually each rally wastes precious time.
Kick Poor Joiners
Rally leaders should remove members using defensive or gathering heroes (Quinn, Diana) as slot 1 — they lower overall damage.
Last Rally Timing
Call the last rally at least 5 minutes before the event ends to ensure all marches arrive within the window.
Two Traps Available
Since April 2025, alliances have two Bear Traps — coordinate two simultaneous rally groups for maximum alliance damage.
1.2B Damage Target
The maximum reward threshold is 1.2 billion damage. Track progress in the event screen and push harder in the final minutes.
❌ Using Rosa as a joiner — Her skill is chance-based and does not reliably stack. Replace with Chenko, Yeonwoo or Amane.
❌ Stacking 4× Chenko — Suboptimal. 2 Chenko + 2 Amane gives ~12.5% more damage due to multiplicative stacking.
❌ Sending Quinn or Diana as joiner — Gathering/defensive heroes in slot 1 actively lower overall rally damage.
❌ Focusing on Attack and ignoring Lethality — Lethality is typically 3–4× lower than Attack, so each point of Lethality gives much bigger gains.
❌ Joining with farming gear on — Always switch to offensive combat gear before the event.
❌ Not activating buffs before departure — Buffs must be active before troops march. Activating after they've left does nothing.
❌ Sending last rally too late — Troops still marching when the event timer hits 0 deal zero damage.
❌ Ignoring the Pitfall upgrade — Level 0 vs Level 5 Pitfall is a 25% alliance-wide damage difference — the easiest win in the whole event.
❌ Marching with empty slots — If your archer count doesn't fill the march, use the auto-fill toggle to pad with cavalry.
