Top Pets for Rune Slayer: Tier List

One of the standout features in *Rune Slayer* is the ability to tame and utilize enemies as battle pets, some of which you can also ride for swift travel. Given the variety of pets available, we've crafted this **Rune Slayer Best Pet Tier List** to help you choose the most effective companions.

Taming Pets in Rune Slayer

In *Rune Slayer*, every class has the ability to tame pets, but the **Beast Tamer Archers** have access to a wider selection of these creatures. To harness the full potential of the strongest pets, you'll need to play as an Archer Beast Tamer, which is currently one of the top sub-classes in the game. As a result, we've created two distinct tier lists: one for Beast Tamers and another for all other classes.
