War of Genesis: How to Get Pets and Boost Your Stats

How to Get Pets in War of Genesis

In War of Genesis: Idle Loot, pets are more than just cosmetic companions; they are vital late-game assets that grant significant stat bonuses to your character. Unlike some equipment that can be farmed through standard stages, pets are tied directly to the game's competitive features.

To begin your journey toward acquiring pets, you must first gain access to the Arena. This is the primary PvP mode where you challenge other players to climb the rankings. The higher your rank at the end of a season, the more Ether points you will receive. These Ether points serve as the exclusive currency for purchasing Growth Pet Eggs in the in-game Ether Shop.

Tip

According to community reports, pets cannot be purchased or traded on the Steam Community Market. You must rely on Arena rewards and the Ether Shop to build your collection.

Understanding Pet Tiers and Benefits

Pets in War of Genesis are categorized into six tiers, each providing increasing levels of power. When evaluating which pets to pursue, it is important to distinguish between their "Owned Effect" and their "Special Ability."

• Owned Effect: A passive bonus that applies to your account progression simply by owning the pet. Even if a pet is not your primary combat choice, having it unlocked contributes to your overall strength.
• Special Ability: A unique combat trigger that activates under specific conditions, such as at the start of a battle or after a certain amount of time has elapsed.

Tier 1 to Tier 3 Pet Overview

Lower-tier pets focus on foundational stat boosts, while Tier 3 pets begin introducing resistance mechanics and more impactful damage modifiers.

Tier 1 Pets

These entry-level pets provide basic stat boosts like Attack% or HP%. For example, the Baby Cat increases Attack by 10% for 10 seconds at the start of battle, while the Baby Lesser pet grants extra EXP when defeating normal monsters.

Tier 2 Pets

These offer more specialized damage increases. Pets like the Gray Wolf increase Fire Hit by 18, and the Soldier Penguin provides a 200% explosion damage proc every 10 seconds, helping to clear mobs faster.

Tier 3 Pets

These pets introduce resistances. The Warrior Bird, Imp, and White Tiger provide specific element resistances (Shock, Poison, and Burn) alongside significant damage boosts to their respective elements.

Advanced Pet Progression: Tier 4 to Tier 6

As you reach the higher tiers, pets become essential for optimizing your DPS and survivability. Tier 4 and above pets include complex triggers that can drastically alter your combat efficiency.

For instance, the Tigris (Tier 4) grants a 33% Attack boost for 5 seconds when Lightning triggers. By the time you reach Tier 6, pets like the Barbarian provide massive debuffs to targets, including a 52% reduction in Defense, Attack, and Attack Speed, making them indispensable for pushing through difficult stages or world bosses.

• Prioritize Arena Participation: Always use your daily Arena tickets to ensure a steady income of Ether.
• Focus on Synergy: Match your pet's element-specific damage boosts (Lightning, Poison, Fire) with your current skill tree build to maximize your DPS output.
• Don't Ignore Low Tiers: Because Owned Effects contribute to your account progression, unlocking lower-tier pets is still a cost-effective way to boost your base stats.

Tips for Arena Success

Since the Arena is the only reliable way to farm for pets, your success in PvP directly correlates to your pet collection speed.

If you find yourself struggling in the Arena, community players suggest focusing on your skill tree and training stats before entering. Prioritize "Combat Defense" and "Duel" skills to improve your survivability. Furthermore, if you see an opponent that looks significantly stronger, do not waste your invitations; wait for the list to refresh to find a more manageable target.

Can I remove gems from my gear to save them for better pets?

Currently, there is no way to unsocket jewels from gear once they are infused. It is recommended to save your high-tier gems until you have obtained high-level equipment to avoid wasting resources.

Is it worth spending real money on the game to get pets?

While there are paid "boons" that increase your gold and XP gain, pets are obtained through gameplay (Arena). You do not need to spend money to unlock the pets, but the permanent account boons can help you reach the levels required to compete in the Arena faster.
