Bear Trap (Bear Hunt) beginner guide
A practical guide to joining the Bear Trap, choosing the left-slot hero, setting troop ratios, and avoiding the mistakes that cost the most damage.
- 30
- minute event
- 2
- day participation cooldown
- Alliance Lv. 5 · R4/R5 activation
Remember these four rules
- Log in before the event starts; auto-join does not work.
- Players who join should put a damage-boosting hero in the far-left slot.
- Start with 10% infantry, 30% lancers, and 60% marksmen.
- Check your alliance rally rules before sending troops.
Rally leaders and joining players use different logic
If you start the rally
All three heroes’ Expedition skills can take effect. Use heroes with team attack or damage bonuses, favor a strong newer-generation marksman as the main damage dealer, and increase Rally Capacity. Start a new rally as soon as each five-minute cycle ends.
If you join another rally
The key is the first Expedition skill of the hero in the far-left slot. Across all joining players, only the four highest-level eligible skills take effect, so use an alliance-approved hero with a well-leveled first skill. The other two heroes mainly add troop capacity.
Use 10 / 30 / 60 as a safe starting ratio
Infantry add little damage in this boss fight, while marksmen provide most of the damage. A balanced starting point is 10% infantry, 30% lancers, and 60% marksmen.
With a strong marksman hero and alliance buffs, test a higher marksman share gradually. Do not blindly send 100% marksmen: Expedition mechanics can make total damage fall.
Easy left-slot heroes for new players
These early heroes have a first Expedition skill that can raise rally damage. Use the hero your alliance accepts and prioritize skill level over raw power.

- Personal damage rewards reset each session; lifetime hunting achievements are claimed once.
Event rules that are easy to miss
- The trap stays active for 30 minutes.
- Bear Hunt does not support auto-join; you must be online.
- Participating starts a two-day cooldown shared by Trap 1 and Trap 2.
- The alliance must reach level 5, and an R4 or R5 member must activate or schedule the trap.
Common mistakes
- Putting the support hero in the middle or right slot.
- Sending 100% marksmen without testing.
- Starting rallies late and losing one or more five-minute cycles.
- Ignoring alliance rules for rally leaders, joining players, or troop limits.
Event mechanics, hero skills, and alliance rules can change with updates. Treat the ratios as a starting point and adjust them using your own battle reports.
