Top Pets for Rune Slayer: A Tier List

One of the standout features in *Rune Slayer* is the unique ability to tame enemies, transforming them into battle pets or mounts for swift travel. Not all pets are created equal, which is why we've curated this comprehensive **Rune Slayer Best Pet Tier List** to guide you through the best options available.

Taming Pets in Rune Slayer

Every class in *Rune Slayer* has the ability to tame pets, but it's the Beast Tamer Archers who have access to the most diverse and powerful selection. If you're aiming to harness the strongest pets, consider choosing the Archer Beast Tamer subclass, widely regarded as one of the game's top sub-classes. To cater to all players, we've created two distinct tier lists: one tailored for Beast Tamers and another for all other classes.
