"Top Pets for Rune Slayers: A Tier List"

By EthanMay 29,2025

One of the standout features of *Rune Slayer* is the ability to tame enemies and turn them into battle pets. Not only do these pets accompany you in battles, but some can even serve as mounts, allowing you to traverse the game world at lightning speed. Keep in mind, however, that not all pets are created equal. To help you navigate the vast array of options, we’ve crafted a comprehensive ***Rune Slayer* Best Pet Tier List**.

For those eager to dive deeper into pet taming, check out our recommended videos on the subject.

Taming Pets in *Rune Slayer*

Every class in *Rune Slayer* has the capability to tame pets, but only Beast Tamers—especially Beast Tamer Archers, currently one of the game’s top sub-classes—can access the majority of them. If you aim to have the most powerful companions by your side, becoming a Beast Tamer is essential. For this reason, we’ve created two tier lists: one tailored specifically for Beast Tamers and another for all other classes.

Non-Beast Tamer Pet Tier List

Regardless of your class, you’ll be able to tame the pets listed below. However, many of these are less effective, making it likely you’ll gravitate toward the top-tier options.
