Methodology: stats & theory
What the numbers on the generation pages are based on and how to read them.
1. Community data (live)
Where it comes from
- What people calculate in the Bear Hunt Simulator, aggregated anonymously. Reviews come from the submission form.
- We aggregate the generation, leader and joiner heroes, the stats and troop counts entered, and the estimated damage. See the Privacy Policy for details
- Not collected: alliance, game ID, name
- Press “Opt out” in the simulator’s result panel to leave the stats and delete what was already sent from that device
Keeping the numbers trustworthy
- However many times one person runs it, they count once per generation
- Inputs that cannot occur in the game and extreme outliers are left out
- Damage is compared using values computed under the same conditions for everyone (calibrating on screen does not affect the comparison)
About the score
- Shows where your estimated damage sits among people who selected the same generation (50 is the middle)
- It compares simulator estimates, not battle records
Publication and caveats
- Last 90 days only. Generations with fewer than 10 records are not shown; fewer than 30 are marked indicative
- Skews toward this site’s users — engaged Bear Hunt players. Not a server-wide average
2. Recommended builds (theory)
How they are produced
- Every INF / LAN / MKS combination obtainable in that generation is compared on the same basis as the Bear Hunt Simulator and ranked by damage
- Joiners are assumed to be the best set for each lineup
- The index is relative to each tier’s #1 (=100)
- Where the ranking differs from other tier lists, we show our own result as is
Spending-tier assumptions
| Tier | Paid-only heroes | Non-wheel SSR cap | Gear Lv | FC Lv | Troops |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F2P / light spender | no | 1 | 1 | 2 | T10 |
| Mid spender | yes | 2 | 5 | 5 | T11 |
| Whale | yes | 3 | 10 | 10 | T12 |
- Each generation’s three new heroes come from three routes: (1) Lucky Wheel (F2P-accessible) (2) Daily Deals / Frostfield Ruler / Strongest Kingdom / Hero Gathering (3) Hall of Heroes
- One Lucky Wheel hero per generation — the backbone for F2P
- Natalia and Jeronimo are first-purchase / VIP only
Theoretical values are estimates based on our own testing, not battle records.
3. Generation boundaries
The form asks for the generation directly. For reference, approximate days since server launch:
| Gen | Unlock day (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Gen 1 | 0 |
| Gen 2 | 40 |
| Gen 3 | 120 |
| Gen 4 | 200 |
| Gen 5 | 280 |
| Gen 6 | 360 |
| Gen 7 | 440 |
| Gen 8 | 520 |
| Gen 9 | 600 |
| Gen 10 | 680 |
| Gen 11 | 760 |
| Gen 12 | 840 |
| Gen 13 | 920 |
| Gen 14 | 1000 |
| Gen 15 | 1080 |
| Gen 16 | 1160 |
| Gen 17 | 1240 |

4. Reviews (one-liners)
- The one-liner (up to 200 chars) and optional display name (16 chars) from the submission form are shown in the generation page’s Reviews block with the build, tier and date, newest first (up to 100 per generation)
- Posts containing links or abusive words are rejected. A review reported 3 times is hidden automatically until the operator reviews it
- Tick “Hide my damage in the review” and the damage is used only for aggregate stats, not shown in the review
- You can keep one submission per generation (e.g. separate reviews for Gen 10 and Gen 12). Re-submitting the same generation from the same browser overwrites (review included); “Delete my previous submission” on the form removes it. The operator may hide reviews that violate the guidelines without notice
5. Deleting a submission
