Co-op Hunting
Don't Bite Off More Than You Can Chew by WolfFolen
I've seen so many wolves in the few hours I've played this game charge into a herd of deer, a pack of enemy wolves, or a couple of mountain lions. Common sense says just don't. Wolves in real life travel in packs and therefore are able to take down bigger prey, like moose and others. A good strategy I've employed is to separate a creature from it's group and then attack it. It has happened, I have seen and done it, and I would suggest it. However, it is not very easy as most of the time the animals stay together no matter what.
Moonwalking Method by KoLy12F
I have used a method where I distract the prey by leading it in circles so it turns all its attention on chasing me. However, do take note this only works when targeting relatively slow prey like bison (It definitely does not work on Crocodile Champions.). My friends will attack behind, unleashing bunches of skills on the poor bison. Normally we'll choose a wolf whose control is good so you don't accidentally knock into a rock and get stuck, or worse, unintentionally charge into your prey's face. The best hunting strategy is that you get a lot of friends and sort of build a semicircle behind the prey. Just in case the prey suddenly turns its attention on e.g. Wolf A, the rest can quickly move and form a semicircle again, leaving only Wolf A to distract the prey.
<- Wolf A <- Bison <- Wolves (in a semicircle)
Unconventional Armor For Co-op by Edward Suksikäsi
Common Timber Armor on lvl-90 Grand Elite wolf, what's going on with that? If the armor has high quality or upgraded close to max quality and more importantly it's reinforcement level is at least 7 or 8/10, that common Timber Armor provides high physical resistance.
Nothing more, nothing less.
When it's quality and reinforcement level are 10/10, the statistics are: Health: 1010. Damage: 16. Flame Spin: dmg/s +45%. Icy Spikes: dmg +115% Physical resistance: +25%. This isn't an exaggeration when I say that's as close to immortality as it gets in featured maps 1-7, and there's no need to change it at coop 8 either (if other items provide other resistances). Most hits by far are physical and this armor alone soften them by one quarter (1/4). However, there's a catch: Material cost of the reinforcements. Final reinforcement (10/10) requirements: Claw: 300. Thick Hide: 300. Bones: 6 000. Leather: 6 000. Shrine level: 9. All those materials after paying for example Leather alone 3 000 to get it to 9/10, 1 500 to 8/10 etc etc etc. So, a lot of common and some rare materials, coins, couple days at shrine and bada bing bada boom your wolf is running around with +50% physical resistance! (with phy res from other items added too)
Of course everyone has their own preferences how they like their wolf to operate, being globally ranked I don't know why this isn't catching on because I literally can't stay alive without anymore after tried it a while. (I don't have PVP experience with it)

The Best Thing About Mountain Climbing by KoLy12F
I'm not asking you to amuse yourself with the mountains, but here's a great thing:
I (and a friend of mine) was wandering around and we found two traps: One at the blue team and one at the red team. It's a place where no wolf can come out, except for respawning. The one for blue is on the right of the den (on the left, on the outside of the den if you have just joined the server or respawned) and it's easily accessible. The one at the red team's den is somewhere behind the den, but it's harder as it is at a really tricky angle. However, if your really good at getting into the trap behind the red team's den, you can actually do this: Your attacker can only go on top of you or beside you but not near to attack because he/she is blocked. And, anyway, if you don't find these traps useful, you can always run across the mountains till you know every rock, and then you can escape from a wolf that's at your tail because he/she may get stuck at some place and get slowed down.
don't fight the other team by your self do call if you are alpha first but kill champions by your self if you can. by unknow weird person that plays the wolf
if you are the one who kill the champion with the last hit then you get the most gems and points so try to kill them by your self. the bull champion is easy so kill that first last time i killed it it had 900 heath., also don't try to fight the whole other team by your self because you will get kill really fast and then you will need to run back just to die again so if you are the alpha do a call first and then have lots of players fight. if the other players on the other team made a call then try to plant traps on the place. when they come back after they got kill they will be hit by the trap. PVP and CO-OP: Try closing in instead of running in groups. by 2k20 legened It works especially in PVP me and my girlfriend Twila prime 123 were playing PVP and I thought of this great idea and to be honest it's a smart idea cause instead of charging a someone attack them and do it when they are vulnerable it cause when they run they will try to run to base and 10/10 you will try and pursue them but get your teammate's to hide somewhere and when the enemy runs your teammates will close in them from side to side and front and back and set traps because when they try to run they will move slower which makes them easy pickings like my favorite animals African wild dogs do this they hunt in hunting parties and when the prey comes by the two groups from both sides and front and back attack the prey.
More Tips and tricks for players, including new players.
1. The first skill that you should focus on in order to improve all other skills is Damage Boost, which belongs to the Aura category. When attacking, use it before all other skills.
2. I suggest not upgrading the "Speed Boost".
3. The cost of upgrading skills is high, and gems, which are the most valuable currency, are difficult to obtain. Therefore, I wouldn't spend gems on 14-day Premium, which costs 500 gems! Instead, I recommend using gems to upgrade skills.
4. To save time, it's best to skip quests that don't reward you with gems upon completion.
5. If you have a friend on your in-game friend list who has a lower level and is online, you can join their game. This may allow you to defeat champions and receive the same amount of gems with less effort. However, I'm not completely sure about this strategy. I learned about it from a video by the author Bloody Hacker (it is in the beginning of the video), which I will link here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wXKjy3cyyhI
6. The Double Claw skill, which is the first skill in the Basic skill tree, is a useful skill to have since it has a short cooldown.
7. If a player who is not an Alpha in the server announces in the chat that they have found a champion animal nearby, you can add them to your friend list to see their location on the map. The player's icon will be different from other icons, making it easy to find them and the champion.
8. In my opinion, it's more convenient and quicker to walk to your desired destination with the full map open on your screen. To access a larger map, simply tap on the small map in the top right corner, and it will resize. Although you won't be able to see your surroundings, using the big map for orientation is easier for me than using the small map or the surroundings.
9. If you're building a PVP x COOP build, then it's better to upgrade the following skills: Fiery Ring, Damage Boost, PCJ, and Poison Trap. If your focus is purely PVP (with low HP under 6M), I recommend using Double Claw, Damage Boost, and Electroshock. For a pure COOP build (with decent HP), upgrade Fire Wall, Damage Boost, Fiery Ring, and Poison Trap.
10. If you want to compare skills, I recommend watching this video by the author Bloody Hacker: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T0kbAMRhGzg
11. The best combination of skills for COOP mode is as follows: 1) Damage Boost, 2) Firewall (or Freezing Wall), 3) Fiery Ring, and 4) Poison Trap (OR Electric Trap, but I’m not sure regarding Electric Trap).
12. An orange icon on the map indicates a quest animal.
13. For more helpful tips on COOP mode, I suggest watching the video by Bloody Hacker: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wXKjy3cyyhI
14. A tip for saving time and taking a break from the game: if you only need to kill champions or big animals, you can be on the server, standing in one place (taking a break from the phone, going AFK but leaving the sound on) and waiting to hear the call of the Alpha. It's possible that the Alpha has found a champion and is summoning other wolves to kill it so return to the game and join him when you hear his call.
15. In order to receive more gems for a champion, try not to die when attacking a champion and for your safety try to attack a champion from behind. Try to deliver the final (the last) blow to a champion when it is almost dead by using a “trap” skill from Totems category. Reference: video by Dr. Fierybringer : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lAtBKhu8gIk
16. I've observed the following tactic: one player runs in circles around a large, slow animal to distract it (the distracted animal runs after him) while other players attack it from behind.
17. Hunt in one area until you spot a champion in it. For instance, you can hunt in that area for approximately 15 minutes.
18. How to find a champion that someone is attacking? Well, if a player dies from the champion’s attack, it will be displayed in the chat. View the chat in order to know this when this happens. When this happens, quickly view the map to see the icon of a dying player disappearing and a new icon of a player appearing. The champion is where the icon disappeared. You can also ask and know whether a champion is in the south/north etc. from the chat.
19. There are 4 events in the game: Christmas, New Year, Easter and Halloween that give certain perks. Also starting from 15 January there is Birthday event that lasts for few days. It gives increase in drop rate of orbs on map Green Hills and champion spawn rate on map Green Hills.
20. When you die, the cooldown for your skills will not immediately end or reset. Instead, it will just keep going.
21. Green arrow next to the level of an animal in the Hunting Event indicates that you are able to increase your score for this animal.
22. How to quickly complete the weekly quests like “Kill x animals level 33+”? Choose the first map “Green Hills” for this because it contains many high-level animals.
23. How to quicker complete the quest “Place the Alpha portal x times”: find the empty PvP room in any region where you can be the alpha, launch a portal, then quit the room and rejoin the same room. Then you will be able to launch a new portal instantly, without waiting a cooldown.
