What is "Hunter's Heart"?

One of Cyrille's talents that directly increases the damage points you earn in Bear Hunt. It boosts points, not raw damage, so it ties straight to reward tiers.

GREG'S NOTE
+2% at Lv1, +30% at Lv11. Same formation, same troops, yet 30% more points just from Cyrille.

Why the value is high

Pros

More points without changing formation or troops / leveled with expert XP only / doesn't crowd out other content

Cons

Needs expert XP, takes time / useless if you don't join Bear Hunt
MOLLY'S TIP
If you value Bear Hunt at all, "Hunter's Heart" is a top-priority talent. Almost nothing else raises points without changing your formation.

Example: how much do points change from Lv0 to Lv11?

Let's look at real numbers. Suppose one rally deals 20 million points with no correction. At talent Lv0 it stays 20M, but at Lv11 (+30%) it becomes 26 million points — a 6M gap per rally.

Since you can join the Bear Hunt many times during the event, 10 rallies turn that into a 60 million point difference. Rewards are based on cumulative points, so this gap directly shifts your reward rank — without changing a single hero or troop.

GREG'S NOTE
The point bonus applies last
Hunter's Heart multiplies the final point total after attack, lethality, gear and pets are all calculated. So the stronger you already are, the bigger the absolute value of +30%. High-damage players get the most out of leveling Cyrille.

Compared with other boosts (the community view)

In overseas Discord communities and wikis, ways to raise Bear Hunt points are split into two camps: (1) raising raw damage (attack, lethality, troop tier, exclusive gear) and (2) raising the point-conversion rate (Cyrille's talent). Camp (1) needs gear and progression resources, while Cyrille in camp (2) only needs Expert XP.

A common community take: "raising damage by 10% and raising the point bonus by 10% contribute almost equally to the final score." But Cyrille costs no money and doesn't affect non-Bear-Hunt combat, so it's rated as a high-value "Bear-Hunt-only" investment. Conversely, if you rarely join Bear Hunt, its priority drops.

How to level it

Hunter's Heart sits in Expert Cyrille's talent tree. You raise it with Expert XP. Early on each level gives a steady +2%, so the basic approach is to push it as high as you can. Leveling ahead of the event avoids waste.

You can check how much your current level contributes using our simulator by changing Cyrille's level. Watch the gain from one extra level to decide whether the next XP investment is worth it.

Summary

It's a near-unique way to raise points up to +30% without touching your formation. Try changing Cyrille's level in the simulator and watch your numbers move.
