Introducing your Troop Pet

When your troop was created, an egg appeared in your troop hall.

By clicking on this egg, your troop founder was able to select your troop pet: Heatra (fire), Goredener (leaf), or Baygon (water).  Unfortunately your troop founder was only provided the information in the screenshot below to make their choice - a picture of the pet, their name and their element type.

Once your troop founder decided on a troop pet, it appeared in your troop hall as a level 1 pet, with 100 attack and 1 million health.

This blog post intends to explain how your troop pet grows and influences the game.
(Note: your troop pet cannot ever be changed).

Petting your Pet for Happiness

Your troop pet likes to be petted.  Every 6 hours you will be able to click on your troop pet and give it a pet.

Each time someone in your troop does this, your pet's happiness will be raised by 1%.  When your pet's happiness reaches 100%, everyone in your troop will receive a random prize in their inbox.  They'll also be able to pet again immediately as all 6 hour delays reset as the pet's happiness returns to 0%. An active troop with 25 players can be receiving prizes from petting their pet every second day.

Battle Camp's official help page states that: "The higher your pet's level, the better the reward."

Possible prizes include:

• 5 Energy  (10 at higher pet levels)
• 500 Stones
• Feeding Booster
• Stone Finder Booster
• Health Booster
• Luck Booster
• XP Booster
• Avatar Spin
• Monster Spin
• Special
• Rare Monster

As an additional bonus, every time your troop pets the pet 15 times in a game day (measured from reset to reset), your troop will all receive 50 stones from the daily Troop Goals.  This may seem minor, but 50 stones each day adds up over time.

Feeding your Pet

Your pet likes to eat specials, but only fire, leaf and water specials. (It has no interest in wind or rock specials). By feeding your pet specials, you can help level your troop pet up.  For each special donated, you'll receive 25 loyalty points that you can spend in your troop shop.

To feed your pet, first click on it in troop hall then select the "Feed" tab.  Then click either the "Pick" button or the image of any of the specials shown.  This will open up a "Select Monster" screen where you can choose which of your specials you would like to feed to your pet.  Once you are happy with your selection, click "Feed".

When feeding your pet, be aware that each special will gain the same level percentage increase irrespective of whether it has been maxed or if is potent, charged or energized.  For this reason, most players feed level 1 potent specials.

It takes only 10 specials to raise your troop pet's level from 1 to 2.  However, as your pet's level increases more specials will be required to reach the next level.

In the left screenshot above, there is an (almost hidden) special grab store that can be accessed by clicking on the "Help" button from the troop pet's feeding tab. The special grab store will open up and you will have the chance to spin a special for 25 gold. Note that all elements of specials are available in this spin, however rock and wind specials cannot be fed to the troop pet.

Many advanced troops have a requirement that their player feed a certain number of specials to their pet each week to help level it up faster.  This special grab store can help you buy a special to meet these troop requirements, or to gain specials for evolutions or feeding your own monsters.


Why is your Troop Pet's level important?

Have you ever noticed your troop pet missing from troop hall?  During Troop Wars events, your troop pet disappears to fight against an opponent troop for hour long matches.

Each time your pet levels up it will gain 2.5 million health and 20 attack to better defend your troop in Troop Wars.  (Click here to read more about the Troop Wars event).  Any active abilities that your troop pet has gained when evolving (see below) will also increase in strength each level.

To view your troop pet's level, click on your troop pet and then the Feed tab. Likewise, to see your troop pet's health and attack, select the Stats tab.

Our pet is level 16 and has 400 attack and 38.5 million health

For beginners, it's likely to be more advantageous for you to use your specials to feed up or evolve your monsters in preference to feeding them to your troop pet.

Your troop pet will evolve at levels 10 and 35 and its appearance will significantly change as shown below.

Your troop pet will also gain extra abilities at levels 10, 20, 35 and 50.  Each of these level 10/35/50 abilities will grow stronger each time your troop pet levels up higher.

Baygon - Water

 Level 10: Gains Big Heal

 Level 20: Resists 70% of Water Attacks

 Level 35: Gains Counter
Level 50: Gains Venom

Heatra - Fire

 Level 10: Gains Surge
(Surge is like Snipe)

 Level 20: Resists 70% of Fire Attacks

 Level 35: Gains Blast
Level 50: Gains Lacerate

Goredener - Leaf

 Level 10: Gains Leech

 Level 20: Resists 70% of Leaf Attacks

 Level 35: Gains Regen
Level 50: Gains Stun

A special thank you to Kristijan Gagulic for sharing observations about the level 50 water ability and to Ricky Hanson for confirming the existence of these level 50 abilities with BC.

At the start of October 2017 there are two troops who have reached the maximum pet level of 60, with several troops narrowly behind them.  These pets then have the strongest possible abilities and are no longer hungry for special donations.
