Pets & factions

Find faction counters, pet candidates and five-hero lineups for the roles your team needs.

Faction counters: who beats whom?

Follow the Rover, Stalwart and Aeronaut counter cycle, the 20% damage bonus and Mariner adjustments.

How many heroes of one faction should you use?

Compare same-faction HP bonuses from two to five heroes, the 18% bonus for 4+1 and lineups with Mariners.

Hopper or Chompy: which heroes fit?

Hopper opens in server week 17 and Chompy in week 19. Compare low-HP survival, critical support and all ten pets.

Alita pet picks: when do Chompy and Starhorn fit?

Match Alita’s back-row area damage and critical stat with Chompy or Starhorn, then try a five-Aeronaut lineup.

Six five-hero lineups with pets to try

Try two front-row heroes, three back-row heroes and one pet: healing, front-row damage, Aeronaut, Rover, Mariner and starter lineups.

Faction Enhancement: where should your Star Points go first?

Each full star a hero earns adds 1 Star Point to that hero's faction. See how the separate pools work, why X-SSR heroes don't count and which nodes to raise first.

All 10 pets at a glance: rarity, type and hatching time

Rarity, type, opening week and hatching time for all ten pets, plus levels, training stages, Marks and the stage where each skill unlocks.

Three things to check before you pick a pet

Don't count locked skills, remember that Dodo's and Hopper's first buffs go to two random heroes, and check who stands nearest when you bring Buckler.

Mariner heroes: worth adding to your lineup?

Meet Shark, Ragnar, Knotty, Undine and Dave, see how the Mariner rules work and compare 5 Aeronauts with 3 Aeronauts plus 2 Mariners.

Pets to consider

These candidates fit positional and skill conditions. Choose around pet growth and the opposing lineup.
