One of *Rune Slayer*'s coolest features is the ability to tame enemies, turning them into battle pets and even mounts for high-speed travel. But not all pets are created equal, so we've crafted this definitive *Rune Slayer* Best Pet Tier List.

While every class can tame pets, Beast Tamer Archers have access to the most powerful options. For optimal pet power, aim for the Archer Beast Tamer subclass (currently one of the game's best). Therefore, we'll present two tier lists: one for Beast Tamers and one for all other classes.
Rune Slayer Non-Beast Tamer Pet Tier List
Regardless of your class, you can tame these pets. However, many are less useful, making the top-tier choices generally preferable.
S-Tier
| Pet Name | Location | Favorite Food | Mountable | Info |
 Baby Spider | Spider Cave | Mandrake Root | Yes | A popular choice; decent attacks, lower HP, but valuable in combat. |
 Golden Fairy | Greatwood Forest (extremely rare) | No food. Interact to claim it. | No | No combat abilities, but provides three extra rolls on monster drops—amazing for farming Raid bosses. |
A-Tier
| Pet Name | Location | Favorite Food | Mountable | Info |
 Fairy | Greatwood Forest (Rare) | No food. Interact to claim it. | No | Provides a 0.4% mana damage buff per player level; excellent for Magicians and Priests. |
