Complete information about jungle pets in preseason 13
In the game, there are now three types of pets to pick from. Each pet has a specific purpose and learning each of its various powers will provide players with many advantages with unique fighting options.
- Companions will attack the targets that their owners are engaging with. These pets will perform 1 attack per second and deal 20 (+4% bonus HP) (+10% AD) damage.
- These pets will also heal their owners by around 70% of the number provided in the aforementioned point
- If owners attack a jungle camp from a distance then the companions will jump towards it and deal the same damage as mentioned earlier
- The jungle pets will also provide mana regeneration to their owners equal to [(8* percent missing mana) * (level/1.3) *0.1] in the jungle
As a result, it is evident that they are extremely useful at clearing camps while keeping the owner healthy. These pets are useful for increasing champions’ clear speed, especially following the multiple health boosts to camps in preseason 13.
Types of pets
In League of Legends, there are 3 main types of jungle pets: Mosstomper, Scorchclaw, and Gustwalker. Each of them has its own set of advantages and ways of playing.
Mosstomper
- Players gain a 75-330 shield once a jungle monster is defeated or being out of combat for 10 seconds. The shield will remain indefinitely. Players will also gain 20% tenacity and resistance from any form of slow as long as the shield is present
- Protection: Players will gain 30% damage reduction against monsters while they are within 1300 units distance from at least 2 allies
Scorchclaw
- Scorchclaw will gain Ember stacks with a rate of 3 per 0.5 seconds or 100 once a monster is killed. Once Scorchclaw reaches 100 stacks, the next attack on the enemy will deal burn damage while also slowing them and any other within 250 radii by 30%.
- Protection Buff: Similar to Mosstomper
Gustwalker
- Players gain 45% movement speed when inside a bush which decays over 2 seconds after leaving it. Once a large monster is killed, players gain 60% movement speed.
- Protection Buff: Same as Mosstomper and Scorchclaw
Based on the descriptions, it is clear that Mosstomper is for players who want to be front-liners or tanks for their team, Scorchclaw is for those who want to be the damage-dealer for their team, and Gustwalker is for players who want to roam frequently and be active around the map in League of Legends.
