👑 Leaders vs 🤝 Joiners Mechanics: This distinction is critical because the game mechanics are vastly different: the host leader contributes all their stats and skills to the march, whereas a joiner only contributes the very first skill (top-right) of their first hero captain.

🐻 Bear Trap (Bear Hunt) (Gen 7) - Rally Leaders

For a rally leader, the goal is to maximize raw stats (especially via stars and gear) and utilize heroes equipped with attack widgets.

Troop Formation Preset

10% Infantry - 10% Cavalry - 80% Archers (Leader) / 90%+ Archers (Joiner)

Strategic Recommendation

Rally Leaders: Ava is the new undisputed host queen (offensive widget + 3 skills directly increase damage). Yang is exceptional for Archer focus. Wee & Woo have defensive widgets but colossal raw stats. Charles is purely defensive. Joiners: Gen 1 constant Lethality joiners remain the best. Wee & Woo shine as fantastic joiners to boost damage, alongside Margot, Amane, and Thrud. Avoid Charles' defense widget (Avoid Tier).
