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 loyal battle pets or swift mounts for rapid travel. Not all pets are created equal, which is why we've crafted the ultimate **Rune Slayer Best Pet Tier List** to guide you through the best choices for your adventures.

Taming Pets in Rune Slayer

While **every class** in the game can **tame pets**, **only Beast Tamer Archers** have access to the majority of them. To harness the power of the strongest pets, you'll want to play as an Archer Beast Tamer, currently one of the top sub-classes in *Rune Slayer*. Therefore, we've created two distinct tier lists: **one for Beast Tamers** and **another for all other classes**.
