Disclaimer: The hero recommendations on this page assume that all selected heroes are fully upgraded with maximum shards and widget levels. Performance may vary if heroes are partially leveled, as even small differences in shard or widget tiers can significantly impact rally damage and lethality. The “F2P” section offers alternative guidance for those with less-than-maxed rosters, but please adjust your lineups according to your own upgrade levels.
• Jeronimo • Molly • Bahiti
Troop Formation: 3/3/4
(In most cases, you will have best stats on Infantry due to Jeronimo’s raw stats, so using equal formation with slightly more Marksman troops works the best)
• Natalia • Molly • Bahiti
Troop Formation: 2/4/4
(Mainly for people that didn’t go for Jeronimo yet, and giving opportunity to use Jero for joining rallies)
• Sergey • Molly • Bahiti
Troop Formation: 3/3/4
(For F2P, recommended is to always use the best 3 heroes you have for calling rally; in Gen1 it’s Sergey, Molly, Bahiti)
• Jeronimo • Philly • Alonso
Troop Formation: 2/3/5
(Alonso will boost damage a lot due to his widget; from Gen2 and up, Infantry hero will always be either Jeronimo or Natalia because they are the only Infantry heroes with rally widgets. Since you’ll focus on more Marksman troops, the point is to boost their damage with an Infantry widget.)
• Natalia • Molly • Alonso/Bahiti
Troop Formation: 2/3/5
(Use Natalia in Gen2+ only if Jeronimo isn’t maxed stars + widget; also gives room to use Jeronimo as a joiner)
• Flint • Molly • Bahiti
Troop Formation: 3/3/4
(Still no F2P hero with a rally widget, so again use equal formation with slightly more Marksman troops since Marksman stats will be lowest due to having an SR Marksman hero = lower stats than Infantry and Lancer)
• Natalia • Mia • Alonso
Troop Formation: 1/2/7
(Natalia performed better than Jeronimo this generation—2 Lethality widgets + 1 Attack widget outperformed 1 Lethality + 2 Attack widgets)
• Jeronimo • Mia • Alonso
Troop Formation: 2/3/5
(If you don’t have maxed Natalia stars/widgets, better use Jeronimo)
• Flint • Mia • Bahiti
Troop Formation: 2/4/4
(In Gen3 F2P will get your first hero with rally widget—perfect time to try new formations. Use same amount of Marksman and Lancer troops because Mia boosts Marksman a lot, but stats remain lowest due to SR Marksman hero; if you unlocked FC3 Lancers, their skill synergizes with Mia’s buffs)
• Jeronimo • Reina • Alonso
Troop Formation: 1/3/6
(Again, 2x Lethality and 1x Attack widget, 30% Lancer troops will do great with Reina’s 3rd skill, especially if Lancers are FC 5 (better FC skill))
• Natalia/Jeronimo • Mia • Lynn
Troop Formation: 1/1/8
(Using Natalia if she has better star and widget level, but in this situation you will want to force as much Marksman troops as you can, especially if they are FC5, and, with a bit of luck, Lynn’s 3rd skill will do the work for you)
• Flint • Mia • Lynn
Troop Formation: 1/1/8
(Same as in last situation, Lynn’s 3rd skill works best if you focus on heavy Marksman formation)
• Jeronimo • Reina • Gwen
Troop Formation: 1/3/6
(Gen5, you can finally retire Alonso, because Gwen has same widget but better stats and much better hero skills. Heavy marksman formation works great with her)
• Hector • Mia • Gwen
Troop Formation: 1/1/8
(Even tho Hector is a defender type Infantry hero, he has 2 damage skills that work for Marksman troops, which gives great damage if you focus on heavy Marksman formation.)
• Hector • Mia • Lynn
Troop Formation: 1/1/8
(Hector will finally replace Flint in every situation, also in Bear Trap, you can use 20% Infantry heroes that can deal good damage with Hector’s 2nd skill, same skill is the reason why you will want to focus heavy on Marksman troops again, and, don’t worry, you don’t need much Lancer troops because Mia’s (unlike Reina’s, Norah’s, Renee’s and Gordon’s) skills will work the same whatever amount of Lancer troops you have)
• Jeronimo • Reina • Wayne
Troop Formation: 1/3/6
(Even tho Wayne doesn’t have rally widget, he will do better than any other Marksman hero due to his “Crit Rate” skill)
• Jeronimo • Mia • Wayne
Troop Formation: 1/1/8
(Mia’s skills can do great when she is together with Wayne, with a bit of luck, damage can be even better than with Reina, but damage won’t be constant… Again, Mia’s skills will work the same whatever amount of Lancer troops you have so no need to worry about having low amount of Lancer troops in the formation)
• Hector • Renee • Lynn
Troop Formation: 1/2/7
(Due to Renee’s skills, you’ll need 20% Lancers in your rally otherwise Renee won’t improve your damage much)
• Jeronimo • Mia • Bradley
Troop Formation: 1/1/8
(Bradley is latest gen hero you will have highest stats for Marksman troops (comparing to Gen1 260 Jer and Gen3 Mia (290%)), so improving Marksman attack with Jer and Mia would greatly increase Marksman troops damage in the rally, especially since Mia is only rally lancer hero that has all 3 skills that work what ever amount of Lancer troops you have in the rally)
• Jeronimo • Reina • Wayne
Troop Formation: 1/3/6
(This alternative rally comp will allow you to use Bradley and Mia to join other people’s rallies… Damage in your rally won’t be consistent like with main comp but will still be high)
• Hector • Mia • Bradley
Troop Formation: 1/1/8
(Bradley will give you highest stats from this comp, while Mia will boost Marksman Attack even higher. Hector and Mia have skills that affect Marksman troops’ damage so this is one of best comp for f2p for maximizing your damage)
• Jeronimo • Mia • Bradley
Troop Formation: 1/1/8
(Sonya has skills that works only for Lancer troops, so she won’t be ideal lancer hero for bear trap rally… Hendrik has mostly defensive skills so he isn’t suitable for calling rally either)
• Jeronimo • Sonya • Bradley
Troop Formation: 1/3/6
(If your Mia isn’t maxed, then use Sonya with 30% Lancers for her skills to have an impact)
• Hector • Mia • Bradley
Troop Formation: 1/1/8
(Hector still much better than newest gen hero for bear trap rally)
• Jeronimo • Mia • Bradley
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
(Fred not compatible with Bradley, Xura has skill with opponent decrease damage, not really good for bear hunt since we want more damage.)
• Magnus • Mia • Bradley
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
(It’s almost the same as P2W Bear Hunt, if you don’t have Jeronimo you can use Magnus, Xura said Magnus doing better compared Hector. It’s still questionable these days.)
• Hector • Mia • Bradley
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
(In Gen9 you got Fred, but considering the skill from Mia is better and the widget is highest compared Fred, it’s more compatible to use Mia instead Fred)
• Jeronimo • Mia • Blanchette
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
Blanchette is masterpiece—all her skills increase damage. Freya’s skills are so-so; not recommended at all.
• Gregory • Mia • Blanchette
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
It’s almost the same as P2W Bear Hunt. If you don’t have Jeronimo, use Gregory—some say he outperforms Magnus or Hector. Blanchette remains superior to Bradley.
• Hector • Mia • Blanchette
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
You got Blanchette from Lucky Wheels—her skills and damage are insanely good for Bear Hunt.
• Jeronimo • Mia • Rufus
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
Rufus is too good—his 2nd skill increases damage each round. Even if Lloyd has higher lethality, Mia is still the GOAT.
• Gregory • Mia • Rufus
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
Similar to P2W Bear Hunt; if you lack Jeronimo, use Gregory. Rufus’s damage at +0 widget and 5★ is insane compared to Blanchette or Bradley.
• Hector • Mia • Blanchette
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
You get Eleonora—but her skills are mostly defensive. Hector boosts Marksman damage better. If you can get Rufus, he’s the F2P Bear Hunt MVP.
• Jeronimo • Mia • Rufus
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
Karol is more suited for Sunfire Castle; his skills are meh for Bear Hunt. Rufus remains the GOAT for skills and damage.
• Jeronimo • Mia • Ligeia
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
Jeronimo is still the best infantry hero. I’d still recommend Rufus; my whale blitz with full buffs hit 4.2B with Rufus vs. 3B with Ligeia.
• Hector • Mia • Blanchette
Troop Formation: 1/1/8 or 1/1/98
You get Karel, but Mia is too good—best investment in the game.
