In Idle Boss Rush, pets act as supportive companions unlocked by defeating bosses. While not primary damage dealers, they offer passive bonuses that aid in progression. This guide breaks down their mechanics and value.
How Pets Work
- Unlock Requirements: Earn pets by defeating specific bosses tied to elements (e.g., light pet from light boss).
- Passive Effects: Once unlocked, they provide stat boosts ranging from elemental damage scaling to utility enhancements.
Benefits of Pets
- Versatile Synergies: Enhance builds by improving elemental damage (fire, light) or adding stacking effects over time.
- Farming Efficiency: Streamline runs through consistent damage boosts and resource-gathering perks.
- Build Diversity: Swap pets during prestige resets to experiment with different playstyles.
Strategic Value
Though pets won’t replace core DPS methods like Ice Whip, their cumulative bonuses make them essential for long-term progression. They fill gaps in scaling and help stabilize difficult boss fights.
