Which pets to use in the tower

[Docowskey]

I just noticed there was an update, and it looks like i'm at a point where i need to put on my big boy pants and grind my way through the tower instead of idling at the volcano for blc orbs. i'm currently sitting at 90c blc in case its relevant. my big question with the tower is, which pets should i use?

Owlo helps merge leaves easier (higher level leaves do mor edamage, in case you've never noticed). Fisho just adds damage for the leaves you blow into things. Autoblowo adds damage to ALBs.

For three pets, you'll need to pick up the Zoo Necklace (from the cheese slot machine) and the Zoo Ring (equipment pickup from the tower, so you'll get it sooner or later).

Alternatively, remember that like every other part of this game there's a LOT of waiting around. So if you're sitting there waiting for things to happen you might want to use Penguino instead of one of those and make trading for more cheese a little easier. Loosing in the tower, or taking longer to complete it, just means picking up more equipment and getting more damage anyway.

Avoid the pets that add health or reduce damage taken. As with the upgrades, go for raw damage!

The monkey helps you push those leaves further and faster to hit targets.
The owl helps make heavier leaves.
The spider helps you survive hits in a way that scales.

Other pet bonuses don't seem to scale very well past he very early floors. If you don't want to be more survivable so that you cycle the bosses (and so gold tokens) faster, then drop the spider for whatever you like.

I actually got the zoo ring right after posting....i was wondering where the 3rd pet came from, so lucky timing. at the moment, i can idle my way though the first 2 bosses without having to be at the computer, and push my way past the next boss with luck, and some effort. i'm going to switch pets to monkey owl spider and see how that goes. beyond that, i'll just be afk grinding. thanks for giving me an answer, much appreciated.
