Adding pets to heroes is the latest addition in Clash of Clans that let you fine-tune your strategy even more but there are also many players that now are confused what pets they should match with their heroes to get the most out of it.
The good news for starters here is, it’s not giving you endless possibilities and unless you’re really fine-tuning your attacks and playing at a very top level of the game right now, the choices are quite limited and also quite clear.
In this guide here I will give you the main setup that makes sense for, I’d say, 93% of all players and also why each hero practically has a favorite pet that works best in normal circumstances.
Best Pet For Every Hero In Clash of Clans
Barbarian King
Here are the viable pets for the Barbarian King that make sense using
Archer Queen
Here are the viable pets for the Archer Queen that make sense using
Tier S+Is just such a slam-dunk pairing here with Queen Charges. This is probably one of the single hero-pet pairings in Clash of Clans that you will see so frequently.
Gives your Queen Charge a second approach and for that reason you might think it's amazing. The reason why not too many players pick it is that it can be squishy and unreliable and often enough you will run into a lost air mine and your whole backup plan goes down the drain.
Tier B+Can help clear away the high-hitpoint storages and Town Hall fasten in a walk but needs to fit the base layout and is not universally a perfect fit.
Grand Warden
Here are the viable pets for the Grand Warden that make sense using
They are made for each other with the air mode and the range. No other hero will be able to utilize the Electro Owl as pet well and many other pets have their flaws with the Grand Warden, making this a very useful pairing.
Is next to Electro Owl the most useful pairing with the warden in ground mode.
With the Fireball and Angry Jelly, you can clearly see what you will target and use this in your strategy well.
Tier AGreat for Warden walks as the boogers can distract defenses.
Tier B+Can help clear away the high-hitpoint storages and Town Hall fasten in a walk but needs to fit the base layout and is not universally a perfect fit.
Can work but I think that Owl (air mode) and Lizard (ground mode) simply work a lot more naturally than Phoenix, espcially with Phoenix being working a lot better on your King or Queen that this pairing doesn't make too much sense for me rather than very situational niche orchestrated attacks in war.
Can work well with the warden on support (no warden walk!).
Royal Champion
Here are the viable pets for the Royal Champion that make sense using
The targeting mechanics and the way they work together make it clear that this pet is designed to run with Royal Champion and vice versa in Clash of Clans and is the best pet-hero pairing in the game.
Tier A+Is now a solid contestant for the Royal Champion as you don't have to worry mechanics and it will allow the Royal Champion to overcome some tricky situations.
Minion Prince
Here are the viable pets for the Minion Prince that make sense using
Absolutely the best pet combo with Minion Prince since you can charge the Minion Prince with your air army so well that there is no competition to this pairup right now.
With the way you use the Minion Prince, the Owl with air attacks can also make sense but by far, Angry Jelly is the best.
Dragon Duke
Here are the viable pets for the Dragon Duke that make sense using
Great combination that help you clear compartments with him.
Works well with his, too.
Tier FWhy is this here? To warn you to never combine Sneezy with Dragon Duke as the Boogers will disable his enrage ability. Yes, flying pets won't disable it but the summoned Booger of Sneezy will so never ever use them together!.

What about diggy paired with the warden? What are your thoughts?
What is an S? Never heard of that…
Superior, better than A
