Best Rune Slayer Pets: Ultimate Tier List Guide

By EmilyJul 29,2025

Rune Slayer’s unique pet-taming feature lets you turn enemies into battle companions or swift mounts. Not all pets are equal, so we’ve crafted this Rune Slayer Top Pet Tier List to guide your choices.

Mastering Pet Taming in Rune Slayer

While all classes can tame pets, Beast Tamer Archers unlock the widest variety. To dominate with the best pets, choose the Archer Beast Tamer, a top-tier subclass. We’ve split our tier lists into two: one for Beast Tamers and one for other classes.
