Top Pets for Rune Slayer: Tier List

One of the standout features in *Rune Slayer* is the unique ability to tame certain enemies, transforming them into battle pets or even mounts for rapid travel. Not all pets are created equal, which is why we've compiled the **Rune Slayer Best Pet Tier List** to help you choose the best companions for your adventures.

Taming Pets in Rune Slayer

While every class in *Rune Slayer* can tame pets, the **Beast Tamer Archers** have access to the most diverse selection. To harness the full potential of these powerful pets, becoming an Archer Beast Tamer—currently one of the game's top sub-classes—is essential. As such, we've created two distinct tier lists: one for Beast Tamers and another for all other classes.
