The best starter pet and solid through mid game. Wolf evolves into increasingly stronger forms and provides reliable physical damage throughout early progression. The go-to recommendation for all new players.

The Siren’s debuffing capabilities are unique — reliable Fear spell and attack reduction debuffs make it an excellent support pet for PvP-focused players. Strong in extended fights where debuff stacking becomes decisive.

The Skeleton has the highest base Strength among normal pets and one of the best attack speed modifiers in the tier. In fully buffed dungeon parties the Skeleton can output surprisingly high DPS — well above what its tier might suggest.

The best early-game tank pet with highest base Vitality among basic pets. Unity and Enchanted skills significantly reduce incoming damage making it a reliable aggro holder for new players running their first dungeons.

Unique support pet with the best Physical Defense debuff of any pet in the game and a targetable HP leech buff. The Octopus fills a niche support role that no other pet can replicate — highly valuable in specific group compositions.

Strong physical damage pet with excellent stat scaling through evolution stages. A reliable workhorse for players between early and late game who need a dependable damage companion before investing in Garuda or Dragon-tier pets.
