Pets are powerful companions in Kingshot that provide significant stat bonuses and unique abilities to enhance your gameplay. Each pet offers distinct advantages, from speeding up construction and resource gathering to boosting your combat power in battles. Pets level up using Pet Food, with higher levels providing exponentially stronger benefits.
đ What Pets Provide
Passive Stat Bonuses: Permanent boosts to construction speed, troop stats, resource gathering, and more
Active Skills: Unique abilities unlocked at Level 10 that can be used on cooldown
Event Bonuses: Special rewards and advantages during pet-related events
Refinement Benefits: Quality upgrades (White â Blue â Purple â Gold) multiply stat bonuses
⥠Key Pet Functions
Growth Acceleration: Speed up base development, research, and construction
Resource Efficiency: Instant gathering completion and increased yields
Combat Enhancement: Boost troop attack, defense, and health stats
Economy Management: Generate pet food and other valuable resources
đ Pet Generations
Gen 1: Basic pets available from start (Wolf, Lynx, Bison)
Gen 2: Unlocked mid-game with stronger bonuses (Cheetah, Moose)
Gen 3: Late mid-game pets with enhanced stats (Lion, Grizzly Bear)
Gen 4: Elite endgame pets with superior scaling (Giant Rhino, Mighty Bison)
đ Upgrade Benefits
Level 10: Unlock unique active skill
Level 20: Cheetah unlocks pet food generation (critical!)
Level 40-50: Growth pets reach optimal efficiency
Level 60+: Battle pets become truly powerful
Level 80-100+: Elite tier for competitive play
đĄ Smart Strategy: Pets are one of the most impactful progression systems in Kingshot. Prioritize your pet food wisely - focus on growth pets early (especially Cheetah for food generation), then transition to battle pets for late-game dominance. Higher generation pets provide better stat returns but cost significantly more pet food per level.
