Best Pet Recommendation
If you’re looking for the most versatile pet from the Admin War Update, the Griffin stands out as the top choice. This pet creates Cyclone events every 15 minutes that can benefit both your other pets and your crops. When the cyclone hits pets, it advances their ability cooldowns by 60 seconds, essentially making their abilities activate faster. When it hits fruits, there’s a 10% chance they’ll get the Cyclonic mutation. This dual benefit makes the Griffin valuable for both pet management and mutation farming, giving you multiple ways to benefit from having it active in your garden.
The Admin War pets add interesting, specialized abilities to Grow a Garden’s pet system. Each pet serves specific purposes, so choose based on your farming style and crop preferences.
