Pets: 12 animal companions

Every pet wears a gold bond tag and fights on its owner's side as a separate combatant.

How pets work

A fighter can have up to 2 small pets and 1 large pet. Duplicates of small pets are allowed (two hens make a flock). Pets are full combatants with their own stats and a natural attack, but no weapons or skills.

  • A pet has half of the health and half of the damage its stats would give.
  • Enemies pick a fighter three times more often than a pet.
  • Pets can never win the duel on their own: the battle ends when a main fighter falls.
  • Skills like Beast Friend and Pack Leader make pets stronger; Hypnotic Whistle steals enemy pets and Rowdy Roar scares them away. See skills.

A large pet is worth about as much as a Legendary weapon, according to balance tests, so a lucky pet offer at level-up is a big deal. Pets make up about 15% of item offers at a level-up (see progression).

Role guide

  • Small pets are fast and light: chargers, harassers, evasive biters and small tanks.
  • Large pets are rare: tanks, heavy strikers and pouncers.
