Team Usage

Build in use. (old version, same concept)

• If you are using a PvP character, you will need to release your pet every time you enter the menagerie.
• You must unlock the pet to access it in the menagerie.
• Find the pet in the menagerie, the wiki has a map of locations.
• Kill all nearby same-species pets except the one you're charming.
• Turn the surviving pet hostile by autoattacking it once. This will ensure it evolves to Hearty.
• Lock your Me/Mo hero onto the pet. They will follow it around because of Blackout but not actually use it, and can't attack without a weapon. UA will drag your corpse to the pet as it walks around, preventing it from leaving the range where it gains exp from your death.
• Sac yourself and the BiP hero using BiP until you both reach 1 hp.
• Make sure recuperation is disabled.
• Swap to your vampiric weapon. The degeneration will kill you.
• Go afk.
• The heroes will automatically res you and follow the pet around, guaranteeing it gets experience.
• After about 14-15 minutes, the pet should be level 20. It will be Hearty evolution even if it doesn't show it.
• Charm the animal with the BiP hero.
  • If you brought Charm on yourself for a second pet during each run, micro the hero to use recuperation to avoid dying from degeneration when you get ressed.
• Show your new level 20 Hearty pet(s) to the Tamer to unlock all evolutions of that pet.

Counters

• Disconnecting if not noticed within 10 minutes.

Notes
