  • Each player can send up to 12 Bees at one time

  • Bees in the trial can be used in other parts of the game

  • Deactivating (unstaking) a Bee removes it from the trial

  • Newly purchased Queen Bees have a 24-hour cooldown

  • Newly purchased or traded male Bees have a 72-hour cooldown

  • Cocarro (Universe 2) Bees can participate in the Trial with no stat reduction

Attack Stat Boosts

Each Bee's damage to Icerax is based on its attack power (the total boosted Attack stat times a random number between 0.9 and 1.1)

  • Queen Mood Boost: Match Queen's mood to Bees' moods

  • Bee Mood Boost: Match a Bee's mood with other Bees on the mission

  • Dislike Boost: Match a Bee's dislike(s) with Queen's dislike

  • Weekly Honey Bag tiers 4-10 receive an Attack stat boost

  • Pass Holder status boost (Gold, Rose Gold, Platinum, Diamond) highest pass counts

Note: Deactivating a Bee removes its Mood and Dislike boosts. Deactivating a Pass removes the Pass Holder boost. 

The Trial

Icerax's starting Health varies week to week

  • There will be 48 turns (one per hour) unless Icerax is defeated earlier

  • Bees attack first, decreasing Icerax's Health

  • Bees damage Icerax based on their boosted Attack stat

  • Icerax responds after each Bee attack

  • Bees can be knocked out based on their Luck stat

  • Knocked-out Bees can't rejoin but can still go on other missions
