Top Pets for Rune Slayer: A Tier List

One of the most captivating features in *Rune Slayer* is the ability to tame and utilize certain enemies as battle pets or mounts for swift travel across the game's expansive world. This unique mechanic adds a layer of strategy and personalization to your gameplay, as not all pets are created equal. To help you navigate this aspect of the game, we've crafted the **Rune Slayer Best Pet Tier List**.

Taming Pets in Rune Slayer

While **every class** in *Rune Slayer* has the ability to **tame pets**, **Beast Tamer Archers** have the privilege of accessing the majority of them. If you're aiming to harness the power of the strongest pets, becoming an Archer Beast Tamer is essential, as it's currently one of the top sub-classes in the game. With this in mind, we've created two distinct tier lists: **one for Beast Tamers** and **one for all other classes**.
