Rune Slayer Best Pet Tier List

One of the standout features in *Rune Slayer* is the ability to tame various enemies, transforming them into battle pets or mounts for swift travel across the game's vast landscapes. Not all pets are created equal, which is why we've curated the **Rune Slayer Best Pet Tier List** to help you choose the perfect companion.

Taming Pets in Rune Slayer

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

No matter your class, you can tame these pets. However, not all are equally beneficial, and you'll likely find yourself gravitating toward the top-tier options.
