Easily kill a bear with <7 UA

Post by jumping1 »

Skills Needed:
Hunting
Unarmed Combat
Soldier Training
Brawling
Leadership

Guide:
1. Go along the edge of a river or lake (lake if you want to be really safe) until you find a bear.
2. Use any move that has no requirements to aggro the bear and quickly run back into the water as far as possible.
2.5. If the bear gets stuck on something, go out the water until it starts moving to you again, then run back.
3. Use call down the thunder and afk while you stockpile IP.
4. After the bear 'twitches' use OPP Knocks and get back further into the water.
5. Repeat step 4. three more times, but on the last OPP Knocks wait 1-2 seconds before using it.
6. Wait for the bear to twitch, then use 'Knock His Teeth Out!' and the bear shouldn't run away
7. Use jump twice after each twitch until at full Atk.
8. Step 4 until Bear Def meter is COMPLETELY empty, using the trick in step 5 for the last OPP Knocks.
9. Repeat Steps 6-8 until the bear dies or you run out of IP
9.5. If you run out of IP do Step 4 and then continue the fight until the bear dies :D

Edit: Use only lakes.

And now the main question: how long does it take?

A minute if you have enough strength to 1 shot a bear. It depends on strength more than UA. Also be careful with jumping twice if your agi is low, you might not get 2 off quickly enough.

still a bad idea. If the bear wants to hit you once, you're dead.

Also if you're in the 1 tile shallows he can still hit you, and with 7UA you likely won't be able to knock his teeth out through the 3 def that he's built up between your last opp knocks and the cooldown.

The lowest I've used this method with is 20UA, so it works I know, but in a 1 tile river shallows the bear can still attack you. Sometimes he becomes stuck and won't, but that's not a safe bet.

I used to kill bears, boars, and deer with this method on day 1 of new worlds. I believe I had about 5 UAC when I did it? It's essential to get combat advantage against deers first so you end up needing about 144 initiative.
