Maximizing Damage in the Bear Trap Event
- 1. The Bear Trap event in Whiteout Survival is one of the most rewarding alliance activities, providing essential Essence Stones and Enhancement XP Components needed for upgrading hero gear. To maximize your rewards, whether you're initiating as a Rally Leader or participating as a Rally Joiner, you must find every way to maximize your damage output.
- 2. This guide covers advanced strategies to boost your damage, including hero selection, troop composition, and pet buff timing.
Core of Maximizing Damage: Hero Selection and Troop Composition
Best Heroes for Bear Trap
- 1. Infantry Hero Selection: Jeronimo > Hector > Natalia > Flint > Magnus
- 2. Lancer Hero Selection: Dominic > Mia(Hero Exclusive Weapon>=6) > Karol > Sonya/Renee/Reina
- 3. Marksman Hero Selection: While influenced by exclusive weapon skills and hero abilities, newer-generation heroes have superior base stats. There's no need to overthink Marksman hero choice—simply use the latest generation available.
Optimal March Ratio for Maximum Damage (Infantry/Lancer/Marksman)
- 1. Pre-Gen 8: At this stage, Lancer Lethality and Marksman Lethality are similar. It is recommended to maintain a higher Lancer ratio (around 25–30%) to stably trigger Lancer hero damage buffs.
- 2. Gen 8 and later: When Marksman Lethality exceeds Lancer Lethality by more than 358 points, you should significantly reduce the Lancer ratio (down to 10–15%) and push the Marksman ratio above 85%.
- 3. Due to the specific damage mechanics of the Bear Trap, the Infantry troop count in your march should ideally be no less than 5,000.
- 4. Note: There is no absolutely fixed perfect ratio. You need to fine-tune your ratio by ±1–5% based on your actual Lethality stats to find your personal damage peak.

Troop Ratio Fine-Tuning Rules
- 1. The more your Marksman Lethality exceeds your Lancer Lethality, the higher your Marksman ratio should be set.
- 2. The more your Lancer Lethality exceeds your Marksman Lethality, the higher your Lancer ratio should be set.
- 3. Combat Tip: Based on your march stats on the day of the event, test by adjusting your troops in 1–5% increments. The ratio that yields the highest single-hit damage is your optimal ratio.
