BEAR HUNT Event Guide | Kingshot - Summary

Game Overview: Bear Hunt Event

Bear Hunt is a 30-minute event in Kingshot where players collaborate to deal as much damage as possible to a bear. Key points include:

• Players place traps and schedule rallies to attack the bear simultaneously.
• The last 5 minutes of the event prohibit leading new rallies, so timing is crucial to maximize rallies within the first 25 minutes.
• The main goal is to maximize damage to earn forge hammers, essential for upgrading hero gear.
• Additional rewards include enhancement XP parts for gear.

Key Gameplay Mechanics

• You can only lead one rally at a time.
• The bear does no damage to your troops, so troop survivability is not a concern.
• Archers are the best troop type for Bear Hunt as they deal the most damage.
• Infantry and cavalry mainly serve as protection/support, while archers are the primary damage dealers.
• The lethality buff is the most important stat to increase damage output.

Strategies to Increase Damage in Your Own Rally

• Use your three strongest rally leaders (one for each troop type: infantry, cavalry, archers) with fully upgraded gear.
• Focus all gear upgrades, XP, forge hammers, and widgets on these three heroes only.
• Utilize buffs:
  • Squad attack and lethality buffs can be activated under your profile using gems.
  • King appointments: assign the lethality buff to your strongest player and the attack buff to the second strongest.
• Distribute archers evenly across all marches rather than concentrating all archers in one rally—unless you have over 600,000 archers.
• Equalizing archers ensures maximum total damage across all rallies, not just your own.

Increasing Damage When Joining Other Rallies

• Join rallies with the correct heroes to provide powerful buffs.
• The most effective heroes to join with are those whose ultimate expedition skill increases lethality or attack:
  • Chenko, Yan Woo, Amadeus: Provide up to 25% lethality buff.
  • Ammani: Provides a 25% squad attack buff (decreases enemy defense).
  • Hilda: Provides a 15% squad attack buff; useful as a last resort or for empty rallies.
• Always join with the hero in the first hero slot to ensure the rally bonus applies.
• Up to four rally joiner bonuses can stack, with higher skill levels taking priority.
• Avoid joining rallies with:
  • Blue heroes whose skills affect resource output, not damage (e.g., Edwin, Olive).
  • Chance-based rally leaders whose skills have low proc chances (e.g., Petra, Marlin, Jable, Zoe).
  • Heroes whose skills do not increase damage or are defensive (e.g., Saul, Quinn, Howard, Diana, Gordon, Fod).
• Joining with no hero is better than joining with an incorrect hero, as no hero takes up a rally bonus slot.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leading rallies with rally joiner heroes (except Amadeus, who can do both).
• Using blue heroes or chance-based leaders as joiners.
• Dispersing gear and upgrades across many heroes instead of focusing on the three rally leaders.
• Allowing players to join rallies with wrong heroes, which wastes rally bonus slots and reduces overall damage.
• Not monitoring and kicking players who join rallies incorrectly.

Additional Tips

• Use the reforge feature to redistribute gear and XP to your three main rally leaders.
• Keep an eye on rally compositions and join rallies that need buffs.
• Coordinate with your alliance to ensure proper hero usage in rallies.
• The distance from your trap affects march time; closer traps allow faster rally cycles.
