Top Pets for Rune Slayer: Tier List

One of the most exciting features in *Rune Slayer* is the ability to tame enemies, transforming them into battle pets or mounts for high-speed travel. Not all pets are created equal, which is why we've crafted this comprehensive **Rune Slayer Best Pet Tier List** to help you navigate your choices.

Taming Pets in Rune Slayer

While all classes in *Rune Slayer* have the ability to tame pets, the **Beast Tamer Archers** have access to the most diverse range of pets. If you're aiming to have the strongest companions by your side, becoming an Archer Beast Tamer—one of the game's top sub-classes—is your best bet. Therefore, we've created two separate tier lists: one tailored for Beast Tamers and another for all other classes.
