All Hero Adventures Pets & How to Unlock Them: A Complete Guide

In Hero Adventures, pets are more than just cute companions—they provide invaluable benefits such as free world map travel. While most pets only get a single turn in combat due to their slow pace, a few exceptions (like the dog and bear) offer extra utility by redirecting damage when close to the protagonist. This guide breaks down the essentials of pet unlocking and training, from mastering the Beast Taming Skill to getting the lowdown on each available pet.

1. Mastering the Beast Taming Skill

The Beast Taming Skill not only lets you unlock and recruit pets but also boosts their performance on the field. Here’s what you need to know:

1.1 Level Bonuses

Each level you invest in your pet brings significant stat improvements and unlocks new abilities:

• Level 1:HP, Attack, and Defense all increase by 20%.
• Level 2:Boosts climb to 40% for HP, Attack, and Defense.
• Level 3:Stat gains reach 60% and your pet learns its 2nd skill.
• Level 4:Increases hit 80% across the board, with the pet unlocking its 3rd skill.
• Level 5:Maximum boost of 100% for HP, Attack, and Defense, and your pet learns its 4th skill.

1.2 Experience and Feeding

Feeding your pet is key to leveling up, and different foods yield different amounts of experience:

• Green Food: 5 Exp
• Blue Food: 25 Exp
• Purple Food: 75 Exp

Tip: Equip the “Strange Pendant” to double the experience gained when feeding. You can acquire this pendant from the Coachman at Chuxiang City after speaking to the person in the Inn about a girl interested in horse riding.
