Generation 2 pet

Kingshot Cheetah

The Cheetah pays for the rest of your Beast Cage. Its daily Pet Food is what funds every other pet you are trying to level.

Build it first

Unlocks: Server day 90
Also needs: Bison level 15
Level cap: 70
Max refinement: 26%
Skill: Scent Mastery

What Scent Mastery does

Produces free Pet Food every day.

Highest priority of the early pets. Every day you delay it is a day of free food you never get back.

The Cheetah never leaves the roster, because Scent Mastery feeds every other pet with free Pet Food. It does not need to sit on the main march to work; use the skill daily and let the food flow to the pet that does.

Trigger it here:

Every single day. This is the one skill you should never let sit on cooldown.

What it costs to level

Every figure here is counted out of the full level table, so it is the cumulative Pet Food you spend to reach that level, rather than the cost of the single step.

Milestone	Cumulative Pet Food
Level 15	7,245
Level 30	25,365
Level 70 (max)	188,955

At level 70 the Cheetah carries a 15.08% troop attack and defense bonus and 1,342,800 power. That bonus applies whether the skill is on cooldown or not, which is why a pet you never trigger is still worth levelling.

Pet Food cost and the troop bonus are set by the generation, so two pets of the same generation cost exactly the same to raise. Their power and their skill are what differ.

Where it sits in the chain

The Beast Cage unlocks in waves by server day, and most pets also need the previous one at a set level.

Becomes available on server day 90, once you have Bison level 15.
Levelling it opens Moose on day 90.

Tips worth knowing

Feed the Cheetah first. A higher level Cheetah makes more food, which makes the next pet cheaper.
Moose is locked behind Cheetah level 15, so the pet chain moves through here either way.
