Best Free Fire Pets and Pet Skills for Every Playstyle

The best Free Fire pets are Mr. Waggor, Detective Panda, Falco, Rockie and Robo, each for a different reason. Mr. Waggor makes gloo walls for you, Detective Panda heals you after a kill, Falco gets your squad to the ground first, Rockie shortens your active skill's cooldown and Robo makes your gloo walls tougher. Only one pet comes into a match with you, so choose its skill the way you choose a weapon.

How pets work in Free Fire

A pet follows you through the match. It cannot be hurt and it does not fight. What it brings is a skill that runs by itself, on top of your character skills.

Three things are worth knowing before you spend anything:

• One pet at a time. You can own many pets, but only one comes into the match with you.
• Looks and skill are separate. In the Pet menu you choose which pet walks beside you and which skill it uses, and the skill can come from another pet you own. You can show the pet you like and still use the skill you need.
• Not every pet has a skill. Kitty and Mechanical Pup are companions only.

A pet's skill gets stronger as the pet levels up. Pets gain experience when you play with them, and pet food speeds that up.

The best Free Fire pets and their skills

Mr. Waggor (Smooth Gloo)

The penguin makes a gloo wall grenade for you from time to time when you are running low. In a game where a wall often decides who wins the fight, that is the most useful thing a pet can do. He is good in every mode.

Detective Panda (Panda's Blessings)

Every kill gives you some HP back. The amount is small, but it comes at the right moment: after a close fight, when a second enemy is already running at you.

Falco (Skyline Spree)

Falco makes you glide and dive faster after the jump, and the effect applies to your whole team. Landing first means reaching the first gun. After you land he does nothing, and that is the trade-off.

Rockie (Stay Chill)

Rockie shortens the cooldown of your equipped active skill. If your build depends on a button, such as Alok's aura or Chrono's force field, he gives you more of it per match.

Robo (Wall Enforcement)

Robo adds a shield to the gloo walls you place, so they take more damage before they break. He is a good choice against players who shoot through your cover.

Ottero (Double Blubber)

When you heal with a med kit or a treatment gun, Ottero gives you energy points (EP) as well. EP turns into health over time, so every heal keeps working after it ends.

Two more deserve a mention. Beaston lets you throw grenades and gloo walls farther, and Spirit Fox adds a little extra HP when you use a med kit.

Which pet to take in each mode

The best pet for BR rank

In ranked Battle Royale, the choice is between a strong start and a strong finish. Falco gives the squad an early landing and a safer first minute. Mr. Waggor pays off later, when the circle is small, cover is rare and everybody is out of walls. If your squad already lands well, take Mr. Waggor.

Clash Squad

Nobody jumps from a plane in Clash Squad, so Falco is wasted there. A match is a series of close fights. Detective Panda, Robo and Mr. Waggor are the picks, and Rockie if your active skill decides your rounds.

Solo or squad

Alone, pick what keeps you standing: Detective Panda or Mr. Waggor. In a squad, one Falco is enough for everyone, so agree on who brings him and let the others choose freely.

Match the pet to your character

A pet works best when it covers the gap your character leaves.

• An active skill with a long cooldown: Rockie.
• A build around gloo walls: Robo for tougher walls, Mr. Waggor for more of them.
• K, who lives on energy points: Ottero, since every heal adds EP.
• A rusher with Jota: Detective Panda. Both pay you back for winning fights.

If you have not settled on a character build yet, start with the best Free Fire characters and choose the pet after.

Getting pets and leveling them

Pets are sold in the in-game store for diamonds, and Garena's events give one away now and then. Before you buy, read what the skill does at its highest level in the pet's description. That is what you are paying for.

Then keep the pet equipped. It levels by playing, and a pet you swap every day never reaches its best skill level. Pet skins are cosmetic and change nothing about the skill.

Buy one pet whose skill you will use every match before you collect three you like the look of.

Questions players ask about pets

Which is the best pet skill in Free Fire for beginners?

Mr. Waggor's. New players run out of gloo walls all the time, and he quietly fixes that. Detective Panda is the second choice.

Can I use one pet's skill on another pet?

Yes. You choose the pet and the skill separately, and any pet you own can lend its skill.

Do pet skins change the skill?

No. A skin changes the look only.

Which pet works best with Alok?

Rockie, because a shorter cooldown means the aura is ready more often.
