Rune Slayer Best Pet Tier List
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 available, choosing the best one 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 power, consider playing as an Archer Beast Tamer (currently a top-tier subclass). This list features two tier lists: one for Beast Tamers and one for all other classes.
