KingShot Bear Hunt Rally Host Heroes Guide: Best Host Compositions by Generation

KingShot: The Best Guide to Bear Hunt Rally Host Heroes

This guide provides a comprehensive breakdown of the best hero combinations for hosting Bear Hunt rallies in KingShot, based on your game's current hero generation (GEN). The right heroes and troop formations are crucial for maximizing your entire alliance's damage output and securing top-tier rewards. The strategy evolves significantly with each new generation of heroes.

---

Generation 1 (GEN 1)

At this early stage, the focus is on utilizing the raw stats provided by your strongest heroes.

• Best Heroes:

  • Heroes: Amadeus, Jabel, Quinn
  • Troop Formation: 30% Infantry - 30% Cavalry - 40% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: In most cases, Amadeus provides the best raw stats, especially for infantry. Therefore, a balanced formation with a slight emphasis on archers works best to maximize overall damage.

• Alternative Best Heroes:

  • Heroes: Helga, Jabel, Quinn
  • Troop Formation: 20% Infantry - 40% Cavalry - 40% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: This is the ideal setup for players who have not yet acquired Amadeus. It also frees up Amadeus to be used by others as a powerful rally joiner.

• F2P (Free-to-Play) Heroes:

  • Heroes: Howard, Jabel, Quinn
  • Troop Formation: 30% Infantry - 30% Cavalry - 40% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: For F2P players, the recommendation is straightforward: always use the three best heroes you have available for hosting a rally.

Generation 2 (GEN 2)

GEN 2 introduces heroes with powerful "rally widgets" (skills that specifically boost rally troops), shifting the meta.

• Best Heroes:

  • Heroes: Amadeus, Hilde, Marlin
  • Troop Formation: 20% Infantry - 30% Cavalry - 50% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: The key change is Marlin, whose widget significantly boosts rally damage. From GEN 2 onwards, your infantry hero should always be either Amadeus or Helga, as they are the only infantry heroes with a rally widget that provides a lethality boost. The strategy now shifts to focusing more heavily on archers.

• Alternative Best Heroes:

  • Heroes: Helga, Jabel, Marlin
  • Troop Formation: 20% Infantry - 30% Cavalry - 50% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: Use Helga instead of Amadeus only if your Amadeus is not yet 5-star with a maxed-out widget. You can also swap Quinn for Marlin if your Marlin is not yet strong enough.

• F2P Heroes:

  • Heroes: Zoe, Jabel, Quinn
  • Troop Formation: 30% Infantry - 30% Cavalry - 40% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: F2P players still lack an SSR hero with a rally widget at this stage. Continue with an equal formation slightly favoring archers, but be aware that your archer stats will be lower without a dedicated SSR archer hero.

Generation 3 (GEN 3)

The focus on specific widgets and troop types becomes even more pronounced.

• Best Heroes:

  • Heroes: Helga, Petra, Marlin
  • Troop Formation: 10% Infantry - 20% Cavalry - 70% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: A fully maxed-out Helga (5-star + max widget) now outperforms Amadeus. This is because she has two lethality widgets and one attack widget in this setup. The formation becomes heavily weighted towards archers.

• Alternative Best Heroes:

  • Heroes: Amadeus, Petra, Marlin
  • Troop Formation: 20% Infantry - 30% Cavalry - 50% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: If you do not have a maxed-out Helga, it is better to continue using Amadeus as your lead infantry hero.

• F2P Heroes:

  • Heroes: Zoe, Petra, Quinn
  • Troop Formation: 20% Infantry - 40% Cavalry - 40% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: In GEN 3, F2P players get their first hero with a rally widget: Petra. This is a perfect time to experiment with new formations. Petra improves both archer and cavalry troops. If you unlock TG3 cavalry, Petra's 3rd skill will pair excellently with the stats you get from her.

Generation 4 (GEN 4)

This generation introduces heroes that enable an extreme archer-focused strategy.

• Best Heroes:

  • Heroes: Amadeus, Petra, Rosa
  • Troop Formation: 10% Infantry - 10% Cavalry - 80% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: In this situation, you want to use as many archer troops as you can, especially if they are high-tier (TG5). With a bit of luck, Rosa's 3rd skill will activate, increasing your archers' total Attack by 30%. This provides a massive damage spike.

• Alternative Best Heroes:

  • Heroes: Helga, Petra, Rosa
  • Troop Formation: 10% Infantry - 10% Cavalry - 80% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: Use Helga as an alternative to Amadeus if she has better stars and a higher widget level.

• F2P Heroes:

  • Heroes: Zoe, Petra, Rosa
  • Troop Formation: 10% Infantry - 10% Cavalry - 80% Archers
  • Strategic Notes: The strategy is the same as the "Best Heroes" setup for this GEN. Focus on a heavy archer formation to maximize the benefit from Rosa's powerful 3rd skill.

Generation 5 (GEN 5)

• Best Heroes:
  • Heroes: Amadeus, [Unspecified], [Unspecified]
  • Strategic Notes: The guide indicates that Amadeus remains a top-tier choice for rally hosts in GEN 5. While the other two heroes are not specified, the established meta suggests the strategy will continue to favor heroes and troop compositions that maximize archer damage above all else.
