Guide to Stat Pets

By Aicho

My first guide on Steam was a tier list for all of the pets, but I never went very far into detail with pets that increase stats. On top of that, I've made discoveries recently that never made it into that and other guides.

Types of Stat Pets

Focus

Focus pets give a boost of +4 to a single stat.
Focus pets include Snoot (Strength), Beholder (Magic), Spiny (Defense), and Meowburt (Agility).

Split Focus

Split Focus pets give a boost of +2 to two different stats.
Split Focus pets include Scratchpaw (Strength and Agility), and Zebra (Magic and Agility).

Tactical

Tactical pets give a boost of +2 to a single stat, and have a special effect on the side.
Tactical pets include Yeti (Strength), Cardinal (Magic), Pazzo (Defense), and Seahorse (Agility).
Zebra is also a Tactical Pet, but is listed under Split Focus to avoid redundancy.

Other

Chicken and Snailburt don't fit into the above categories, although technically Chicken could be referred to as a "Balance" pet.
Chicken gives a boost of +1 to Strength, Defense, and Agility.
Snailburt gives a boost of +5 to Defense, and docks -2 from agility

Scratchpaw, Burly Bear, and Zebra all boost two stats each. They emphasize the boosts of split focus weapons, and compliment weapons that boost the two stats which they don't. For each of these three pets, a list of complimentary weapons will be provided, as well as a list of the weapons they emphasize. The bonuses your character receives with both equipped will be listed with each weapon.

Scratchpaw

Ribeye: +6 Strength -2 magic +6 agility
Butcher Knife: +7 strength -2 magic +4 agility

Chicken

Chicken compliments every mage weapon, and emphasizes every non-mage weapon, because he boosts three stats. Since it's impossible to make a bad combo when using chicken, it's unnecessary to make any lists for him.

Awsome

The Monke 12 Apr, 2022 @ 7:15pm

Gonna be honest, I'm confused on the "gold harpoon" weapon, is it the level 30 weapon from the insane mode store next to the skull mace?

Naninitro 6 Nov, 2021 @ 9:14am

what about the other pets like sherbert the cat

Electric Star 7 Apr, 2020 @ 6:57pm

certain pets arent really pets that go for this, these are pets that give you bonuses in stats but not other benefits such as the dragon, seal, and eyeball becuase they dont give you bonuses they help you. same with the whale, it gives you some gold but no stat bonuses. the seahorse dies give you agility but only in water and thats pretty specific and not a stat so not listed, along with the dog that helps you dig stuff up, it has no stat bonuses. if they do have some stat bonuses, like i had no idea that the yeti and cardinal gave you bonuses but they do, so if these pets do give you bonuses then im not sure why theyre not in

huddybuddy456 31 Mar, 2020 @ 11:44am

Why didn't you put the insane mode pets?

HannoverHeights 29 Jan, 2020 @ 1:27pm

And also where is the Golden whale? He is also in the "Other" category of pets, all he does is just drop gold every few seconds.

HannoverHeights 29 Jan, 2020 @ 1:26pm

Well in reality, Seahorse only makes your agility faster in WATER. I mean, Behemoth knew it would be a bitch to get through water so they made a solution to it!

blizzyblazer 31 Dec, 2019 @ 12:53pm

Yes sir

pogwater 30 Dec, 2019 @ 7:27am

I'm pretty sure that Chicken + Evil Sword (Fire or whatever) + Ice Knight is the perfect combo, seeming that, as soon as I got the Evil Sword with the Ice Knight, I could get a one-hit kill on everything. That's also probably because I'm level 99 with every character.
