Q & A

What are the two worst pets in the Blood Moon update?

The two worst pets are the brown mouse and the gray mouse. Both are the most common mythical pets and have very limited usefulness, such as providing small movement speed or jump height increases, which don't offer much benefit in the game.

Why are the brown and gray mice considered ineffective?

They provide minor boosts such as movement speed or jump height, but these abilities are not impactful enough in the game. Additionally, the movement speed boost is less useful due to features like the recall wrench, and jumping high doesn't seem to offer much practical use.

What is the Blood Hedgehog's main ability, and why is it considered somewhat specific?

The Blood Hedgehog grants a bonus to 'prickly fruit,' increasing their size and variant. However, the issue lies in the ambiguity around what qualifies as a prickly fruit, as it's unclear whether fruits like dragon fruit or durian count, making the pet's effect quite niche.

Why does the Blood Kiwi rank lower despite increasing egg hatch speed?

The Blood Kiwi helps speed up egg hatching, but many players just set their eggs to hatch and forget about them. The ability to speed up egg hatching isn't as useful since players often just wait for eggs to hatch passively, making the Kiwi's ability less impactful.

What is the squirrel's main ability, and what is the drawback of this ability?

The squirrel has a 2.56% chance of not consuming seeds when planting. This is useful as it allows for free seeds to come back, but the drawback is that the percentage of recovering rarer seeds is not disclosed, leaving some uncertainty about how effective it is with rare seeds.

Why is the Giant Red Ant considered better than the regular Giant Ant?

The Giant Red Ant offers a 5.15% chance for harvested crops to duplicate, with an additional 5.15% chance for fruit-type crops to duplicate. Since many of the best plants are fruits, this makes the Red Ant significantly more beneficial for crop duplication than the regular Giant Ant.

What makes the Blood Owl a top-tier pet in the game?

The Blood Owl provides an additional 0.53 XP per second to all active pets, helping them level up faster. This is particularly useful for players aiming to maximize pet equipment slots, which can amplify all the benefits from pets, making the Blood Owl one of the best pets for progression.

What is unique about the Red Fox in the Blood Moon update?

The Red Fox has a 1.49% chance of stealing a random fruit from any player's garden every 10 minutes. Although its stealing ability isn't guaranteed, it offers a valuable opportunity to gather additional resources. However, the exact chances of success are unclear, which reduces its effectiveness.

Why is the Chicken Jockey/Chick Zombie considered the best pet?

The Chicken Jockey (Chick Zombie) can add a mutation on top of your plants, allowing for huge boosts in earnings, potentially up to 10,000-20,000 times the money for a single fruit if certain mutations are stacked. This can result in massive profits, making it the top pet in the update.

Why do the rarer crops' duplication chances lower when using pets like the Giant Red Ant?

The game doesn't specify the exact percentage for rarer crops to duplicate, but it is implied that rarer crops have a lower chance of duplication. This lack of clarity makes it difficult for players to gauge how useful these pets are for harvesting rarer crops.
