Coordinate, minimise losses, maximise rewards.

With Season 3 underway, here's a clear guide on how to kill the Hunter Yeti properly. Please read this before attacking so we don't waste troops or miss rewards.

What you need to know

  • Hunter Yeti is a high-level boss — spawns at Lv.100–350 on the world map. Higher tiers hit harder and reward more.
  • You cannot solo it — this is an alliance rally event.
  • Rewards drop only when you join the final / successful rally (the one that kills it).
  • Daily reward cap is usually 2 per day; some event days raise this to 5.
  • Yetis also drop snowballs and snowflakes which feed your Snowman — a 5‑star Snowman gives +30% troop ATK and DEF, so don't skip these.

Step 1 — Prep first

Before joining any rally:

  • Upgrade your Biological Lab — this gives the virus resistance you need to survive Yeti hits. It's the most important seasonal building.
  • Use your strongest 5 heroes with the right traits / equipment slotted in.
  • Make sure all troops are fully healed before the rally goes out.
  • Don't have your troops out doing boomers, digs or mining when a rally is incoming — tied‑up troops can't join.

Step 2 — Always rally (no solo attacks)

  • R4/R5 will start rallies.
  • If no R4/R5 is online, designate someone to lead rallies.
  • Everyone joins with full marches.
  • Use your strongest march first.

Step 3 — Join smart (and position well)

  • Weaker players → join early.
  • Stronger players → join later.
Important tip: Wait until the Hunter Yeti is close to our hive / your HQ before joining or launching rallies. This reduces travel time, gets faster hits, and helps us cycle rallies quicker. Long marches waste rally time and drop your damage.

Step 4 — Limit rallies

  • Maximum 3 rallies per Yeti.
  • Most Yetis should go down within this.
  • Do not spam attacks — you will just fill your hospital.
  • If a Yeti has survived 3 full rallies, leave it — the alliance probably doesn't have the power for that tier today.

Step 5 — Watch losses

  • Expect some hospitalisation — even with full prep, Yeti rallies put a lot of troops in the hospital.
  • Heal between rallies. Get alliance help to speed it up.
  • Stop if losses get too high.
Don't trade days of healing for one reward.

Step 6 — Use this trick

If a Yeti is heading toward your HQ:

  1. Start a rally on it.
  2. Cancel the rally immediately.

The Yeti will reroute and head somewhere else — cheap, free defence.

Step 7 — Daily limits

  • Standard days → 2 rewards max.
  • Some days → up to 5 rewards.
  • Stop attacking after you hit your limit — extra kills don't pay out and just cost troops.

Snowman synergy

Yetis are also one of the best ways to feed the Season 3 Snowman:

  • Each successful Yeti rally drops snowflakes, which combine into snowballs.
  • Throw snowballs at your Snowman to level it. A 5‑star Snowman gives +30% troop attack and defence — one of the biggest passive buffs in the season.
  • Don't only farm boomers for snowflakes — Yeti rallies are a major source too.

Final rules

Don't:
  • No solo attacks.
  • No random rallies.
  • No hitting max-level Yetis without approval.
Do:
  • Follow rally leads.
  • Use strongest march.
  • Stay near hive for faster rallies.
  • Protect your troops.
  • Feed your Snowman with the snowballs you earn.

Let's stay coordinated, minimise losses, and maximise rewards.
