Task Bar Hero Pets Guide

Pets are pure passive value — and the best part is they all work at once. Here's how stacking works, which pets matter most, whether the Supporter Pack is worth it, and the best pick for gold, XP or chest farming.

How pets work — they all stack

The most important thing to know: there's no single pet slot. Every pet you own is active simultaneously, and their passive bonuses stack automatically — no equipping, no choosing a "main." That means a pet is never a trade-off; each one you add is a permanent, cumulative boost to gold, XP or drops. So "best pet" really means "best value per pet," and "do I own it" matters more than any loadout decision.

Key point

Pets aren't a loadout — they're a collection. Owning more pets = more stacked bonuses, always on, even while you idle in the taskbar.

Pet tier list

Because everything stacks, tiers here rank a pet's bonus strength (and whether it's outclassed by a free option):

TierPetSourceBonus
SDragonSupporter PackTriple stack: +common chest drop, +gold per kill, +XP
AWatcherFree / earned+gold per kill (best free pet)
ASwordSupporter Pack+XP gain
BButterflySupporter Pack+gold per kill (smaller than Watcher)

The Dragon is the clear standout because it carries three bonuses in one pet. The Watcher is the free hero of the list — it gives more gold than the paid Butterfly, so don't overlook it. (Exact percentages shift with patches, and more pets may exist beyond these; check in-game for current values.)

Is the Supporter Pack worth it?

The Supporter Pack bundles three pets — Dragon, Sword and Butterfly — plus supports the developers. The honest breakdown:

  • Dragon — yes, this is the reason to buy. Best pet in the game, triple bonus, always on.
  • Sword — a solid XP boost, nice to have.
  • Butterfly — the weak one; the free Watcher already does its job better.
Verdict

Worth it if you want the Dragon's permanent triple boost (and to back the devs). It's a convenience/efficiency purchase, not a requirement — a free account progresses fine, just a bit slower on gold/XP/chests.

Best pet for your goal

You want…Best pet
Overall / everythingDragon (chests + gold + XP)
More gold (free)Watcher
Faster levellingSword (or Dragon)
More chests / lootDragon (common chest drop)

Since they stack, the real "build" is simply: collect as many as you can. More chest drops feed the Cube and the market; more gold feeds the rune tree.

How to get pets

Pets come from two routes: the Supporter Pack DLC (Dragon, Sword, Butterfly) and free/earned pets like the Watcher obtained through normal play. Exact unlock conditions and any farmable pets vary by patch, so check the in-game pet menu for what's currently available and how to obtain each. Whatever you unlock is permanent and immediately stacks with the rest.

FAQ

How do pets work?

Every pet you own is active at once and their passive bonuses stack automatically — there's no pet slot to choose.

What's the best pet?

The Dragon (Supporter Pack) — it stacks chest-drop, gold and XP bonuses in one. The best free pet is the Watcher (gold per kill).

Is the Supporter Pack worth it?

Mainly for the Dragon. The Sword (XP) is decent; the Butterfly is weak (the free Watcher beats it). Worth it for the Dragon, not required.

Do pets work while idle?

Yes — their bonuses are passive and always on, including while the game idles in the taskbar.
