One of the most exciting features in *Rune Slayer* is the ability to tame and utilize enemies as battle pets, which can also be mounted for high-speed travel. Pets vary widely, making our **Rune Slayer Best Pet Tier List** an essential guide for players seeking to optimize their gameplay experience.
Taming Pets in Rune Slayer
While all classes in *Rune Slayer* can tame pets, the Archer Beast Tamer subclass has access to a broader range of creatures. This subclass is currently one of the strongest in the game, making it the ideal choice for those looking to harness the power of the best pets. Consequently, we've created two separate tier lists: one for Beast Tamers and another for all other classes.
