Pets are one of the most impactful systems in Legend of Elements, directly influencing your damage, survivability, and overall CP (Combat Power). While early on they seem secondary to gear or spirit upgrades, their true potential unfolds in the mid-to-late game — where a single optimized pet can make a 30% or greater difference in total power.
Unlike gear, which provides static upgrades, pets scale exponentially through breeding, traits, and growth rate optimization. Players who invest early in the system establish an enormous long-term advantage in PvP and weekly leaderboards.
When Do Pets Truly Matter?
| Game Phase | Pet Importance | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Early Game | Moderate | Acts as a temporary boost, limited growth |
| Mid Game | High | SSRs, traits, and growth begin to define meta |
| Late Game | Very High | Pets decide PvP rankings and competitive dominance |
A strong pet synergizes your entire build — enhancing critical damage, attack speed, and even hidden modifiers like true crit and global damage bonuses.
The Three Pillars of a Powerful Pet
| Pillar | Description | Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Growth Rate (GR) | Attribute multiplier that defines scaling | Determines late-game ceiling |
| Traits | Special inherited buffs | Enable custom builds and synergies |
| Generation (Gen) | Evolutionary tier | Unlocks higher potential and trait slots |
Without growth, traits are underpowered. Without traits, growth is inefficient. Generation unites both — making Gen 5 the ultimate milestone.
2. Fundamental
Before optimizing traits or builds, mastering the basics is essential.
2.1 Pet Rarities
| Rarity | Color | Use Case | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| R | Blue/Green | Early Game | Temporary filler |
| SR | Purple | Early–Mid Game | Some SRs outperform weak SSRs |
| SSR | Red | Late Game | Core lineup and breeding base |
| UR (Future) | Gold | Upcoming events | Future-proof pets |
Meta Rule: The ideal lineup currently is 3x SSR + 1x SR — a limitation of the current SSR pool.
2.2 Eggs and Drop Rates
| Egg Type | SSR Chance | Recommended Use | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epic Egg | 2–3% | Early to 1st SSR | ✅ Use until first SSR |
| Sacred Blood Egg | 20–30% | Midgame SSR hunting | ✅ High value |
| Beastgod Genesis Egg | 100% | Endgame optimization | 🔒 Save for perfect timing |
Golden Rule:
Use Epic Eggs only until your first SSR — after that, every Epic spent is wasted.
2.3 Breeding Partners
- You can have up to 60 partners.
- Partner pets can be reused infinitely, while yours have a cooldown.
- Generations must match (Gen1 breeds only with Gen1, etc.).
- Collaboration multiplies progress — solo play bottlenecks at Gen3.
More partners = stronger bloodlines = faster growth and better traits.
2.4 Weekly Rankings
Two main rankings define pet progression:
| Type | Criteria | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Trait Ranking | Quantity + Rarity | Sacred/Genesis Eggs |
| Breeding Ranking | Number of crosses | Resources + Eggs |
Pro Tip:
If two players tie in traits, the one who finishes first wins. Timing is as important as quality.
2.5 The True Goal
You’re not collecting pets — you’re building a bloodline.
The objective is to create a Gen 5 SSR with 3.0 GR and top-tier traits.
SSR is your base, Growth Rate is your strength, Traits are refinement, and Generation is the evolution path.
3. Advanced Mechanics
This section separates top players from the rest — it’s where true power scaling begins.
3.1 Generation (Gen1 → Gen5)
| Generation | Max Traits | Max Growth Multiplier | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gen1 | 2 | 1.50x | Base form |
| Gen2 | 3 | 1.875x | Evolution starts |
| Gen3 | 4 | 2.25x | Mid-tier scaling |
| Gen4 | 5 | 2.625x | High-tier |
| Gen5 | 6 | 3.00x | Endgame |
A pet is considered finished only at Gen 5.
3.2 Growth Rate (GR)
Growth Rate is the true power multiplier behind your stats.
- GR 1.8 → Average
- GR 2.3 → Strong
- GR 3.0 → Perfect (God-tier)
Rule: Always prioritize growth first, traits later.
3.3 Traits
Traits define uniqueness — they can modify damage, survivability, and synergy.
| Rank | Color | Power |
|---|---|---|
| SSR | Red | Top-tier |
| MR | Orange | Strong |
| R | Purple | Decent |
| N | Blue | Weak |
| C | Grey | Trash |
It’s better to have high GR with SR traits than a low GR with SSR traits.
3.4 Inheritance System
Trait inheritance depends on:
- Number of parent traits
- Rarity of traits
- Combination quality
Bad parents poison your bloodline permanently. Always breed selectively.
3.5 Elemental Bond (Future Meta)
Currently, only three SSR pets exist — each from a different element:
- White Tiger (Light) — Crit%
- Blazing Phoenix (Fire) — True Crit per stack
- Wind Mockery (Wind) — Haste / Skill speed
When the 4th SSR arrives, full 4x bond synergy will become meta-defining.
4. Optimal Progression Paths
4.1 F2P Roadmap
Goal: Reach Gen5 SSR with 2.0+ GR without spending.
- Buy daily Epic Eggs until first SSR.
- Join an active clan and fill partner slots (60).
- Use breeding to obtain remaining SSRs.
- Stop using Epic Eggs after first SSR.
- Focus on GR improvement → Gen5 → Traits.
F2P Philosophy:
Patience > RNG. Accumulate, don’t rush.
4.2 Low Spenders
Invest only in Pet Fund — best ROI in the entire system.
Follows same steps as F2P but faster, with better egg income and ranking opportunities.
4.3 Whales
- Buy all packs → secure 3x SSR instantly.
- Push directly to Gen4/Gen5.
- Freeze breeding for trait optimization.
- Save Genesis Eggs for future SSR releases.
A strong whale plays for the next meta, not the current one.
4.4 Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Impact |
|---|---|
| Using Epic Eggs after first SSR | Wasted resource |
| Upgrading traits before GR | Permanent weak scaling |
| Gen3 with low GR | Dead lineage |
| Breeding without full partners | Poor inheritance |
| Early Genesis usage | Future loss |
| Overfocusing traits early | Delayed power curve |
5. Pet Rankings
5.1 SSR Tier List
| Tier | Pet | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| S+ | White Tiger | Best universal crit buff, top PvP & PvE |
| S | Blazing Phoenix | Explosive burst, true crit scaling |
| A+ | Wind Mockery | Excellent for mage builds, haste scaling |
5.2 SR Tier List
| Tier | Pet | Role |
|---|---|---|
| S | Hobbit Beast | Crit synergy with Tiger |
| A+ | Cyclops | True Crit synergy with Phoenix |
| B | Twinbird | Weak cooldown buff |
5.3 Do Not Use (Trap Pets)
Avoid any SR focused purely on defense or cooldown reduction — they fall off sharply after early game.
6. Builds and Synergies
6.1 Universal Lineup
- White Tiger (Crit%)
- Blazing Phoenix (True Crit)
- Wind Mockery (Haste)
- Hobbit Beast / Cyclops (4th Slot)
6.2 By Class
| Class | Priority |
|---|---|
| Mage | Mockery → Tiger → Phoenix |
| Swordsman | Tiger → Phoenix → Mockery |
| Warrior | Tiger → Phoenix → Mockery |
| Assassin (Future) | Phoenix → Tiger |
6.3 SR Choice Logic
- Crit build → Hobbit Beast
- True Crit build → Cyclops
- PvP Anti-Dodge → Cyclops
7. Advanced Breeding Strategy
- Breed for lineage, not quantity.
- Never breed with low GR partners.
- Only push Gen5 when GR > 2.7 and 3+ SSR traits.
Smart GR Manipulation:
Breeding a 1.70 GR pet with 1.85 GR partner raises the average → repeat to climb.
Ranking Tip:
Breed Gen1 SSRs weekly to farm points without harming your bloodline.
8. Elemental Stones (Endgame Power)
Used to enhance elemental skills of pets.
| Element | Pet | Buff |
|---|---|---|
| Light | White Tiger | Crit% consistency |
| Fire | Blazing Phoenix | True Crit scaling |
| Wind | Wind Mockery | Haste / Skill speed |
Best Usage
- Apply only on Gen5 pets with stable traits (≥3 SSR)
- Never on SRs
- Start with White Tiger, then Phoenix, then Mockery
Foresight:
Save stones — future SSRs and 4x bond system will multiply their value.
