As a Ghibli-style idle RPG mobile game, the pet (phantasmal beast) system in Under the Cloud Sea is one of the core gameplay mechanics for players to enhance their combat power. However, many new players are still unclear about the ways to obtain pets in Under the Cloud Sea. In the following, I will introduce the gameplay of the pet system, including wild capture, store purchase, and cultivation, etc., hoping to help everyone quickly understand the pet system in the game.

When advancing the main storyline to specific points, the system will directly give away pets. After completing the floating island rescue mission, you can get the initial pet, Sea Tide Spirit, whose skill, Water Curtain Barrier, provides a 15% damage reduction effect for teammates. After clearing the Abyss Secret Realm in Chapter 3, the Lava Puppy is unlocked, which comes with a fire attribute area attack skill, suitable for dealing with grass-type enemies. It's worth noting that the quality of pets given by the main storyline is all blue, and needs to be strengthened through subsequent cultivation, but as a transition, it's already very good.

The wild map hides various catchable pets, requiring the use of a capture net (crafted at the blacksmith or dropped from dungeons). When exploring the Fluorescent Forest at night, using the capture net can catch the Night Light Butterfly, whose passive skill, Fluorescent Dust, increases the team's critical hit rate by 10%. Rare pets like the Thunder Lark only appear in the Thunderstorm Canyon during thunderstorms, requiring preparation of a high-level capture net (materials: 20 spider silk + 5 lightning cores), increasing the success rate to 50%.

The main city's pet shop refreshes its merchandise daily at 6 AM, where pets can be purchased with gold coins or guild contribution points. It is recommended to prioritize buying the Rockshell Turtle (cost: 50,000 gold coins), whose talent, "Stone Shield," absorbs 20% of the character's maximum HP in damage. The limited-time pet, Frost Wolf Pup (ice type), refreshes every Friday, requiring 3,000 guild contribution points, suitable for pairing with fire-type characters to trigger the melt damage bonus. Using diamonds for "Phantom Beast Summoning" can randomly obtain purple or higher quality pets. A ten-draw guarantee at least one purple pet; it's recommended to save up 2,000 diamonds before drawing. During the event period of the Phantom Beast Company, completing daily bounty tasks can exchange for phantom beast eggs, hatching which guarantees the limited pet, Party Penguin, whose skill, Carnival Dance, provides an attack speed boost to the entire team.

The pet system can be said to be the core mechanism in Under the Cloud Sea, from main storyline gifts to wild captures, each step needs to be combined with the current lineup requirements. Mastering the refresh patterns of rare pets and cultivation priorities, and reasonably allocating gold and diamond resources, will allow you to quickly build a phantasmal beast team adaptable to multiple scenarios.
