Extracting Maximum Power

To improve your strength, create three mono-class squads. Configure Team 1 with your strongest Infantry hero in position 2 and add 100% Infantry troops. Repeat this for Cavalry and Archers.

IMPORTANT: Position 1 must be occupied by:
Guaranteed increase: Chenko, Yeonwoo, or Amane.
Chance to increase: Hilde, Petra, or Amadeus.
Note: When joining a Rally, only the leader's direct superior skill applies. When launching/calling a Rally, all hero skills/bonuses are active.

Once your three best squads are set, check if you have enough troops to create additional mono-class squads. If you have leftover troops, deploy your best available heroes (following the Position 1 rule) and rank them from strongest to weakest. Fill the squad with the troop type of the strongest hero first, then fill remaining slots with the next troop type.

Regarding Blue Heroes: They are useful for gathering but offer no combat benefits. Use them only in Position 3 to fill space. NEVER place them in Position 1 unless gathering.

For optimal combinations and Stress Testing^(?), Stress testing involves simulating varied troop/hero combinations to identify the highest power output threshold before combat efficiency drops. use the fan tool: Zienaps Bear Trap Tool

Bear Trap Improvement Tips & Strategies

Radiance 1+: Launch rallies at the start.
Level 30-: Prioritize joining all available rallies first.
After 2 minutes, if troops remain, launch a rally using your best units (adhering to the Position 1 hero rule).
Final Push: With 7 minutes remaining, everyone should launch a rally to ensure high turnover, as no rallies can be initiated in the final moments.

30 minutes before the event, activate:

[Beasts]: Terror Gaze, The Howler.
[City]: Squad Lethality, Squad Attack, Enemy Defense.
