What is the best pet setup?

[esotrix]

1) Firefly way (buffed) :
- frog
- panda
- parrot (elixir) or dragonfly (amber)
Belt : elixir then fireflies

2) Crit way (nerfed but still ok) :
- snake
- fox
- panda
Belt : elixir then speed

3) Closed game :
- hedgehog (gold) or mouse (amber)
- dog
- turtle
Belt : elixir then gold

Isn't a dragon better than a parrot?

dog on a closed game? sounds like most of his skills would get wasted. Backgrounded - aye, but closed?

Not really, beacause when playing around fireflies, we don't care about regular enemies. As an example, a full frenzy gives roughly 1/6 the reward of a regular firefly. Which means, both frenzy chance and +3 coins bonus are irrelevent. BTW, +X coins doesn't work for fireflies, whereas increasing the gemstone value does.
Eventually, even if dragonling may give slightly more gold, parrot gives more elixir, which is a better deal.

About dog, it increases the maximum away income timer, so that one can open the game only once per day. This is the best bonus for casual players.

Agree with Esotrix on all accounts. The game is about fireflies, anything else doesn't even come close.

I'm not sure about the belt though, I have it set on elixirs too but aren't elixirs connected to gold? wouldn't it be better to go all gold and then elixirs to maximize? seriously asking 'cause I have no idea ^^"

It doesn't work this way. Elixir gained depend on the elixir coin value, which is not linked with the gold coin value. Only this last one can be improved by increasing the gold per sec income.

It's pretty confusing due to the coin symbol, which may mean "gold and elixir coin value" (e.g. cat bonus) or "only gold value" (e.g. katana equipment bonus). That said, if you carefully pay attention to the bonuses which convert gold income into coin value (e.g. tier 2 "desire for coin"), they only mention gold value.

I see, thanks for the explanation. I already instinctively went for elixirs first, glad it was the right move :)
