The Pet System

Every account starts with a Loyal Dog companion. From there, it's up to you.

  • Taming: defeat a boss while carrying Tamer Bait (drops during runs) and you'll get a chance to catch it. Higher rarity bait = higher catch rate.

  • Pet Attacks: each round, your pet has a chance to strike — damage goes through the full combat pipeline (armor, weakness, resistance).

  • Passive Abilities: defensive pets grant flat elemental reduction or bonus armor. Offensive pets add flat elemental damage. Some are pure attackers with no passive — perfect for raw damage builds.

  • 385 unique pets across all 8 areas and 6 tiers. Catch at higher difficulties to level up your pet's abilities.

  • Pet filter in the Town Well lets you search by name, filter by minimum level, and toggle categories (defensive / offensive / attack-only / other).

Check the Pet Wiki for the full breakdown.

QoL & Fixes

  • Storage Chests no longer drop once all 30 stash slots are unlocked.

  • Scrollable areas (fight log, playlist, results screen) now have up/down arrow buttons for easier scrolling on touch devices.

  • Fix: Magic find was not properly applied to loot rolls.

  • Fix: Android — screen could freeze permanently when all ad creatives failed to load, requiring a force-close. Thanks ShinGetsu for reporting.

Thank you for playing. See you in the Temporal Realm.
