In Blade & Soul, the latest update Vengeance introduces pets to the game. The pets are not just cute companions; they also provide defensive buffs.
The upcoming update “Vengeance” for Blade and Soul will bring new story chapters and dungeons along with a system for pets. These little companions can be obtained as rewards from heroic dungeons or in the cash shop in pet boxes.

These little rascals are not just decorative, and even though they do not fight, they can provide defensive bonuses when you feed them certain pet treats. To maintain the buff, you will need to pack more of the food, otherwise, you might lose a valuable buff right before the boss in the dungeon.
Pets can be upgraded by integrating lower tier pets, just like we upgrade all equipment in Blade and Soul. The update “Vengeance” and the pets will be released on June 1st.
