⚔️ Bear Trap Strategy
🎯 Goal
Deal as much damage as possible.
- More damage = better personal rewards
- More damage = better alliance rewards
👥 Work as a Team
Bear Trap is about coordination, not solo strength.
- Strong players → Lead rallies
- Other players → Join rallies (with correct heroes)
- Always keep rallies full
👉 Full rallies = maximum damage
🧠 Important Tip
Leading a rally does NOT use a march slot
This means:
- You can lead AND join at the same time
- If you have troops → always start your own rally
👉 Missing this reduces your total damage
⏱️ Stay Active
- Watch rally timers
- Rejoin quickly
- Never leave marches idle
👉 Idle time = lost damage
🧙♂️ Best Heroes for Bear Trap
🎯 Choosing the Right Heroes
Your hero choice depends on your role:
- Leaders → Use strongest attack heroes
- Joiners → Use damage-boosting heroes (MOST IMPORTANT)
👉 Most damage optimisation comes from joiners
🤝 Best Heroes for Rally Joiners
Use these heroes in your first slot when joining rallies:
S Tier (Best):
- Chenko (+5-25% Lethality)
- Amadeus (+5-25% Lethality)
- Yeonwoo (+5-25% Lethality)
- Amane (+5-25% Attack)
- Margot (+5-25% Attack)
- Vivian (+5-25% Damage Taken)
A Tier:
- Hilde (+15 % attack)
B Tier (Fallback):
- Marlin (40% to deal +50% extra damage)
- Petra (50% to increase damage taken by _50%)
- Rosa (40% to deal +50% extra damage)
- Thrud (20% chance to deal +100% extra damage)
⚠️ Important Rule
👉 Always use the correct hero in slot 1
- Wrong heroes = lower rally damage
- Lower damage = fewer rewards for everyone
It is acceptable to remove players using incorrect heroes to allow better setups.
❓ Why These Heroes?
Rally bonuses are based on each player’s top expedition skill (top-right skill).
- S and A tier heroes → Guaranteed stat bonuses
- These always apply → consistent damage increase
👉 No randomness = best results
⚠️ Why Chance-Based Heroes Are Worse
Some heroes rely on abilities with a chance to trigger.
- Can be strong when they activate
- But are inconsistent
- Only get 1 chance to trigger
In Bear Trap, consistent damage is better than random damage
🧠 Example
Each rally counts as one hit:
- Petra → 50% chance → triggers about half the time
- Zoe/Jaeger → 20% chance → triggers about once every 5 rallies
👉 This makes them unreliable
📌 Simple Takeaway
👉 Guaranteed bonuses > Chance-based bonuses
Always prioritise heroes that consistently increase damage.
⚡ Quick Tips
- Always be in a rally or starting one
- Leaders → strongest attack heroes
- Joiners → use S/A tier heroes
- Do NOT stack strong players
- Stay active! Idle time = lost damage
