Whiteout Survival Bear Hunt: choosing joiner heroes and checking the four skill slots
Your first hero matters when you join a Bear Hunt rally. Here is how to spread Jessie, Jasser and Seo-yoon across marches and check the active skills.
When you join a Bear Hunt rally, the hero with the biggest power number is not automatically the most useful choice. Look at the first expedition skill of the hero in your first slot: it can become a rally member bonus. The rally leader has a different job and needs to consider the whole hero lineup.
Spread useful first heroes across your marches
Panda’s beginner guide on the official wiki lists Jessie, Jasser and Seo-yoon as joiner options. If you have all three, you could put Jessie first in one march, Jasser first in another and Seo-yoon first in a third. Each march then has a first hero who can contribute a skill. How many marches you can actually send depends on your roster, skill levels and available troops.
Putting Jessie and Jasser in the same march will not make both joiner skills count: only the first expedition skill of the first hero is considered for the member bonus. The other heroes can still affect how many troops that march carries, so empty slots are not always the best choice. Hero generations become available at different stages in different States, and later heroes may offer other useful choices.
Check which skills made the rally
A rally can take hero skills from up to four joiners, with skill level affecting selection. For example, a level-three Jessie skill can be replaced by a later level-five skill. If that replacement is poorly suited to Bear Hunt, the rally bonus may not be what the group wanted. Four skill slots do not mean only four people can send troops.
Open the rally details, tap the yellow flag at the top right, and inspect the rally member skills. The “4/4” shown here belongs to the pictured example; another rally can have different skills. Before departure, the leader can use this screen to ask members to adjust their first heroes.
Player sinti recommends saving your usual formations before the hunt so you can switch quickly once it starts. If all your suitable first heroes are already out, Panda also suggests joining with troops only. That reduces the march’s carrying capacity, so weigh it against the troops you have left and your alliance’s plan. Official support says you must have belonged to the alliance for more than 46 hours to participate; remember that if you have just moved.
