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 with a variety of pets, choosing the best can be tricky. That's why we've created this *Rune Slayer* Best Pet Tier List.

While all classes can tame pets, Beast Tamer Archers have access to the most powerful options. For optimal pet strength, consider playing an Archer Beast Tamer (currently a top subclass). Therefore, we'll provide two tier lists: one for Beast Tamers and one for all other classes.

All classes can tame these pets, but many aren't very useful; you'll likely gravitate towards the top tiers.
