Rune Slayer's pet system stands out with its unique taming mechanics. Players can not only command these creatures in battle but also ride them for swift traversal across the game world. Since pet capabilities vary significantly, we've created this ***Rune Slayer* Ultimate Pet Tier List** to help you choose the perfect companion.
Mastering Pet Taming in Rune Slayer
While all classes can tame pets, Beast Tamer Archers enjoy exclusive access to the most powerful creatures. For players seeking the strongest battle partners, specializing as an Archer Beast Tamer (currently among the game's elite sub-classes) is essential. Accordingly, we've prepared separate tier lists: one for Beast Tamers and another for other classes.
