[Guide] Bear Trap explained

1. Rally Host - When you start a rally:
When you join someone else's rally, your personal gear and total power do not count. The right tactics are what matter.
Slot 1 (Buff Hero/ First Slot):
Place only the correct support hero here for their passive squad buffs.
Remember: Only the top-right skill matters; the hero's level or other skills do not matter.
Always use the highest tier troops available to you, as Apex troops provide the highest damage output per unit. Always prioritize upgrading your troops to the strongest version possible.
The Bear does not fight back; it only takes damage. Archers deal by far the most damage, while barracks troops only deal about 10% of what archers can do. Because of this, the vast majority of troops (60% to 80%) should be archers for pure maximum damage output.
4. Timing
- Heroes: Use your 3 best heroes.
- Gear & Stats: Your personal gear, stats, and total power matter completely.
- Troops: Send your best troops in the correct ratio.

Slot 1 (Buff Hero/ First Slot):
Place only the correct support hero here for their passive squad buffs.
Remember: Only the top-right skill matters; the hero's level or other skills do not matter.
- Priority list:
1. Margot (+25% Attack buff, requires at least 4 stars and skill level 5)
2. Chenko / Yeonwoo (+25% Lethality or Squad Attack)
3. Amadeus (+25% Lethality, if not used as a host)
4. Amane (+25% Attack)
5. Hilde (+15% Attack) – An excellent backup or extra march option if better heroes are already used up or top-tier ones are not yet unlocked.
6. No Hero at All: If your top-tier heroes run out for multiple marches, it is better to send no hero at all rather than placing a defense or gathering hero (like Jabel) in the lead slot, because the wrong hero lowers the score for everyone!
- These slots are strictly for transporting extra troops, so any hero is fine.
- You can also use speed buff heroes in these side slots:
- Diana: Up to +100% March Speed Up.
- Fahd: Doubles the march speed (+100% Hunt March Speed).
- These speed up travel and return times, helping you cycle your troops faster into new rally waves.
