# How does pet activation energy reset?
Community Knowledge Players describe it in different ways, and this page does not pick one. One player’s advice post (it has no replies) says you can switch pets on when you build your backpack, after which they stay active in all Arena fights and in the Pet, Hero and Blessing dungeons, so you only need enough energy to switch them on once. For event dungeons, the same player says they work like the chapter system: once you activate a pet in a fight, its energy is not restored until you fight a boss, so if you do not need pets before a boss, activate them on the boss, because the energy resets afterwards.[4]
Community Knowledge In another thread, a player whose pets would not turn on said they had enough energy. One reply says you need to click on the pet; another says the energy resets every few rounds, with a remark about stages that are all bosses.[1]
Two player descriptions compared
| Where it comes from | What the player says |
|---|---|
| Advice post on Arena and dungeons | Energy is only needed to switch pets on once in the Arena and in the Pet, Hero and Blessing dungeons. In event dungeons it is not restored until a boss fight.[4] |
| Reply in a thread where a player’s pets would not turn on | The energy resets every few rounds, with a remark about all-boss stages.[1] |
| Reply to a player stuck in an event dungeon | Use a pet that costs little energy against the enemies that stun you, so you still have enough for the bosses, and repeat after the energy replenishes.[7] |
Recommendation The first two descriptions do not match: one says energy is not restored until a boss fight in event dungeons, and the other says it resets every few rounds with a different remark about boss stages. They may be describing different modes. Watch the energy display in the mode you are playing and do not plan around either description. Version-sensitive The rules may have changed since these posts.
# Which pets should I level first?
Levels follow the slot
Community Knowledge Several players say that pet levels belong to the slot. One explains that when you level up pets and gear you level the slot and not that particular item, so a pet you put into a levelled slot has the same level.[5] In a second thread, one reply says the level is shared when you switch pets, another says you can swap a pet into the slot and keep the level, and a third says you get back the food when you unequip a pet.[6]
Community Knowledge A player who saw separate slots for health, attack and defence asked whether to pour everything into attack. One commenter says the slots are not tied to a single stat, that the screen only shows how your stats change, and that levelling pets raises health and damage together.[5]
Higher rank pets
Community Knowledge One player says pets of higher rank (how rare the pet is) give more stats (they put mythic above legendary above rare), so you should level your highest-rank pets first; if they are all equal rank, they say to level the ones that rely on stats (damage or healing) and not the ones with technical effects such as changing or merging items. This is a single comment and not a community rule.[5]
Players disagree on how to spread levels
| Question | Put more into the highest-rank pets | Spread levels evenly |
|---|---|---|
| Who gets the levels? | Level the highest-rank pets first.[5] Higher rarity gives more, so level those, and level equally if you have several of the highest rarity.[8] | One player says they level up all of their pets, one per day.[5] Another has all pets equally levelled, and a different commenter says equal is better.[8] |
| Does mythic give more than legendary? | Pets with higher rank give more stats, with mythic above legendary.[5] | One commenter, who says they worked it out, says legendary and mythic pets give the same stats per level, and more than rare or epic pets; they add that levels get more expensive faster than they add stats.[8] |
Community Knowledge Players also say levels can be pulled back out of a pet without a penalty, and one commenter suggests testing the split yourself.[8] [5] One commenter in that thread, who uses an epic pet while waiting for a better one, says to put slightly fewer levels into the stand-in and more into the others.[8] Another player in the same thread remarks that pets do not seem to attack, apart from specific ones such as the wolves, and wonders what levels do on them.[8] A different commenter answers that levels give stats to the hero.[8]
The two columns come from different players and this page does not pick one. Numbers for how much each level adds are not printed here.
# Can I swap pets without losing levels?
Community Knowledge Players say yes, because the level stays with the slot. A beginner who was deciding between two pets was told by one reply to try both, since you can switch any time and the level is shared, and that you can also refund and spend again at no cost.[6] Another reply says you do not need to take a pet out by hand first, because you can put a different pet in the slot and keep the level.[6]
Community Knowledge On when to swap, one reply says to use pets interchangeably because their abilities are meant to enhance builds, counter certain enemies and suit different game modes. The same reply says there is no “save build” button, that you switch pets on the dungeon preparation screen, and that the gear you equip outside dungeons has to be changed separately.[9]
# What does the Eagle pet do?
Community Knowledge In the thread that asks this, two replies agree that it works on the enemy’s dodge and focus. Another reply is shorter and describes it differently.[10]
| Reply | What it says |
|---|---|
| First | It counters enemies that use dodge or focus by removing stacks from them, so you can hit them or lower the risk of being critically hit.[10] |
| Second | It removes stacks of dodge or focus from the enemy, depending on which the enemy has more of. Because it affects the enemy and not your hero, the reply sees no reason it would not work with any class.[10] |
| Third | Says “yes it just removes the enemys buffs” (quoted as written).[10] |
Community Knowledge The asker wondered whether it works without a bow. The second reply says it works for any class, and none of the replies says otherwise, but the third reply describes a broader effect than the first two.[10]
Recommendation Check the pet text in your own game.
Hawk: buy or save?
Community Knowledge Two threads ask whether to spend the currency players call books on a Hawk or to save. Replies in both lean toward saving: one says the Hawk has very limited use,[11] another says it is not useful most of the time and that its effect is only removing focus and dodge, unlike a healing-reduction pet,[12] and another points out that legendary pets come from eggs over time.[12] Others disagree on how narrow it is:
| Narrow use | Can still help |
|---|---|
| One reply (in Spanish) says the Hawk is only useful in player-versus-player fights.[11] | One reply says it can still help in certain chapters and in a dungeon that often has dodge enemies.[11] Another says to use the epic version of the Hawk for stages in the meantime.[12] |
# Which pets do players bring against which enemies?
Community Knowledge The replies treat pet choice as something you change by enemy and mode, and each of the threads below is one player’s view. No reply gives a fixed list.
| Situation | What players say |
|---|---|
| Boss-rush and gauntlet stages where you rarely get to merge | One reply says the Mimic is better there; another says it is useful in general.[9] |
| Enemies that stun you | Replies name the Yeti against stunning goblins in an event dungeon.[7] [13] |
| Crit builds versus spike builds | Replies prefer the Tiger for crits; one says to use the Wolf for a spike build with no crit ability.[14] |
| Early stages with a fire build | Replies call the Red Dragon a strong early legendary for burst damage, and one adds that it and the Phoenix carry a fire build except against fire spirits.[15] |
| Poison builds | Replies on the Spider differ; see the table below.[16] [6] |
| Defence | Replies call the Siren one of the strongest pets in the game, and one rates it as the top defensive pet.[16] |
Players disagree about the Yeti and the Spider
| Pet | Says it helps | Says it does not |
|---|---|---|
| Yeti | One reply says it is not weak if the hero deals good damage, and uses it in the Arena against players who throw a hammer; another says it can help against a goblin that stuns you.[13] | The original poster calls it nearly useless for a stage, and a reply agrees it is a weak pet. The reply that defends it adds that it does little in a longer fight.[13] |
| Spider | One reply says it is useful early in a round while your backpack is not full; another says it adds damage in modes where you get one round to buy items.[6] [16] | Other replies say the Spider is not good compared with other mythic pets, and one says poison is weak in this game.[16] [6] |
Community Knowledge A pet’s skill text can be confusing: one player asked whether a Phoenix skill lowers your crit chance or the enemy’s, and a reply says the enemy’s, adding that the game’s translation is confusing.[17]
Recommendation If your stage has an enemy that heals a lot or steals your buffs, the boss guide linked under Related guides covers the pets players name for that.
# What can we not confirm yet?
| Question | Why it is open |
|---|---|
| When does pet activation energy come back? | Descriptions differ by mode and by player; see the table above.[4] [1] |
| How much energy does each pet cost? | One reply says a pet costs little energy, but the threads give no list, so this page gives no numbers.[7] |
| Does a higher rank give more per level? | One commenter says yes, another says legendary and mythic pets give the same; this page does not decide.[5] [8] |
| How much does each pet level add, and how fast does the cost grow? | Players say levels add to your hero’s stats and that costs rise, but the threads give no figures, so this page gives none.[5] [8] |
# Frequently asked questions
