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 ultimate *Rune Slayer* Best Pet Tier List.

While every class can tame pets, Beast Tamer Archers have access to the vast majority. For the most powerful companions, Archer Beast Tamer (a top-tier subclass) is the way to go. Therefore, we'll present two lists: one for Beast Tamers and one for everyone else.
All classes can tame these pets, but many prove less useful. You'll likely gravitate towards the top tiers.

 Baby Spider | Spider Cave | Mandrake Root | Yes | A popular choice; decent attacks, lower HP, but valuable in combat. |
