Mama Bear

## **Overview**

Mama Bear is one of the Doom Mob Heroes. In **Medium Games** or larger, one player will spawn as Mama Bear when the **Blizzard Doom Event** starts. Mama Bear is quite squishy for a Mob Hero but in turn packs a very threatening assortment of attacks. Mama excels in quickly shredding targets in the heat of battle with abilities that keep survivors close and turn their own strength against them. Mama bear also gains more damage output as Polar Babes die, further increasing their potential damage.

In summary, Mama Bear is an insanely potent glass cannon, great for players who think the best way to resist damage is to eliminate the source. If any defense stands in the way of the Polar Babes, Mama Bear can destroy walls with powerful icicles.

## **Strategies**

This section is about strategies for or against Mama Bear. For strategies relating to the Blizzard, such as the Slow Falling effect, see Doom Events.
### **As Mama Bear**

* Try to stay close to your Polar Babes or tell them to stay close to you for triggering **Mother's Rage** and **Roar**.
* You gain stacks of **Greater Frost Breath** every time you take damage, regardless of how much damage was dealt. Consider pursuing low-damage targets, such as Arcane Scepter and Spellbook users.

### **As a Survivor**

* While playing as Tui, **do not use Wildfire against Mama Bear.** She is incredibly resistant to your fire damage and will use your Wildfire to spam **Greater Frost Breath** on you until you die. **Only use your hammer.**
* While playing as Herana, **do not use Whirlpool against Mama Bear around other Survivors**. Like with Tui's Wildfire, this gives Mama Bear many **Greater Frost Breath** stacks.
	+ However, the Whirlpool could also be used to keep Mama Bear away from other Survivors. **Use Whirlpool on Mama Bear with discretion and/or extreme caution.**
* Using Arcane Scepter's **Arcane Mark**, Spellbook's **Soul Stream**, or other chip damage sources on Mama Bear will give her several stacks of **Greater Frost Breath** in a short amount of time. In general, you **should not** use these on Mama Bear.
	+ Consider using this information against a smart Mama Bear. She will likely prioritize you; you might be able to keep aggro away from other Survivors.
* Be careful around the powdered snow. You can only escape by mining out the blocks on the edges.
	+ If you are stuck in the center of the snow, focus on healing. Mama Bear [and her Polar Babes] will begin to whail on you and you cannot retaliate much.
	+ The powdered snow block also puts out fire and is removed.
