Practical keep/replace calls for bakuran slots based on live Cash-per-second reads.

Best Pets

Keep the printers, release the souvenirs

The best pet in Steal A Balut is the one on your account with the highest reliable $/s that you can protect. This page turns that rule into named examples, specimen-variance warnings, and replace guidelines. For the broader grading system, see the Tier List Hub. For a wider name checklist as the Index grows, cross-check Pets List after you finish a keep/replace pass here.

All Pets is the source of truth. Wiki tables are dated snapshots from public recordings. If your client shows a different rate on the same name, trust your client.

S-tier mindset: Haribon-class earners

Public October 27 footage compared a Haribon specimen near the top of the earning board — about $3.5M/s on that displayed copy, the largest value among the four named examples that recording set side by side. If you hatch or steal anything in that income band:

  1. Place it immediately inside the bakuran.
  2. Equip it over any mid-tier filler.
  3. Treat the walk home as sacred — redeem Speed codes before farming more of these.
  4. Avoid AFK in crowded lobbies while it sits near the door.
  5. Screenshot the All Pets line so you can prove the rate if a friend argues about “true” Haribon strength.

You may never see the exact same $3.5M/s twice. Judge each new Haribon (or future patch equivalent) by the number All Pets shows today. A weaker Haribon copy is still usually better than a strong C-tier meme pet — but a weak Haribon that loses to your best Baboy should not steal the slot just because the name is famous.

A-tier: Baboy sa Likod Bahay and same-name variance

Baboy sa Likod Bahay appeared with high six-figure $/s reads in the same comparison set. Critically, two same-name entries were not identical: one copy showed about $538K/s, another about $318K/s. That gap is the whole lesson of this page.

Specimen variance means:

  • The name on the Index is not a fixed paycheck.
  • Two “identical” pets can deserve opposite keep/replace calls.
  • When names collide, keep the higher live rate and drop the weaker clone unless you still need Index Claim on the weaker one.

A-tier pets are your workhorses when S-tier is missing. They fund hammer upgrades and extra slots without needing a once-per-week miracle hatch. If both Baboy copies are strong and you have free slots, keep both; if slots are tight, the $538K-class copy stays and the $318K-class copy becomes Index residue.

B-tier: Bubong Pusa and flexible slots

Bubong Pusa showed about $305K/s in the active list from that footage — a solid mid earner and a real named collection entry. B-tier pets are fine while you climb. Use them to:

  • Fill empty bakuran slots
  • Hold Index progress
  • Fund Martilyo purchases
  • Practice clean steals without risking your only S-tier

Replace them the moment an A/S specimen lands. Do not get attached to the name if the $/s is mediocre. Bubong Pusa is also a useful “placement prompt” pet in tutorials — the click-in-bakuran hint has appeared with names like this — but tutorial familiarity is not a reason to keep a low earner forever.

C-tier: Pro Gamer Unggoy fillers

Pro Gamer Unggoy landed near $168K/s in the recorded list — still an earner, still useful for a brand-new account, and still the first pet you should cull once better copies exist. C-tier keeps something equipped so you are never at zero income, but after How to Get Cash upgrades start rolling, C-tier is mostly Index residue and practice carries.

If your entire board is C-tier, do not panic-reroll for Haribon on hour one. Stack Speed, shorten cracks, and climb zones you can finish. A placed Unggoy that survives beats a legendary you dropped at the gate.

Named pets you will hear in tutorials

Placement hints have mentioned names like Gagamba. Tutorial names are not automatic S-tiers. Always open All Pets after placing and read the rate. A funny name with low $/s is still a low earner. Build a personal note of “names I have seen” separately from “names that deserve equipped slots.”

Mutations from update footage: Galactic, Universal, Rainbow

Update and Admin Abuse recordings after early November showed mutation-style labels on high earners — players calling out Galactic wraps, a Universal result, and a Rainbow finish in the same session. In one public new-update clip, a Universal read landed around the 400M/s band on that carry, and pushing toward Rainbow on a strong pet produced a ~1.1B/s line on screen before the lobby chaos moved on.

What we will not do here is invent a full multiplier table or hatch percentages the UI never printed in those clips. Treat Galactic / Universal / Rainbow as:

  • Real labels players encountered in update footage
  • Reasons two same-species pets can diverge wildly
  • A reminder to re-read All Pets after every AA or zone drop

If your pet shows a mutation tag, compare its live $/s to your best unequipped normal copy before you assume the tag alone wins. A Rainbow sticker on a weak base can still lose to a clean Haribon-class printer — and the reverse is also true when the mutated specimen is the one printing billions.

Keep versus Claim decision tree

New duck placed?
├─ New Index name? → Claim rewards
├─ Mutation tag + huge $/s jump? → Protect and equip over fillers
├─ $/s > weakest equipped? → Equip it, unequip the weakest
├─ Same name as an owned copy? → Keep the higher rate only (unless free slots)
├─ $/s ≈ mid board? → Keep if you have free slots, else bank Index only
└─ $/s clearly low? → Keep only until Claim, then free the slot

How to find better pets faster

  1. Redeem Speed and Cash codes so you can reach higher Luck zones safely.
  2. Upgrade Martilyo Power for more hatches per hour — Hatching Baluts.
  3. Master clean returns — How to Steal and Protect Base once your board is worth defending.
  4. Learn the live ladder on Zones Map instead of force-entering a gate you cannot finish.
  5. Watch Updates and Admin Abuse windows for mutation spikes and new Index names.
  6. Optional: review Scripts if you accept the account risk of automation.

Sample bakuran goals

  • Hour 1: any five earners equipped, hammer upgraded once
  • Day 1: no C-tier left equipped if A-tier copies exist
  • After a Baboy double: keep the higher $/s specimen, Claim the name once
  • Post-update / AA night: re-check every slot for Galactic / Universal / Rainbow tags and reshuffle

Best pets are not a static poster. They are whatever All Pets sorts to the top after your last clean steal — Haribon at $3.5M/s yesterday, a Rainbow printer at 1.1B/s on update night, or a humble Baboy that simply out-earns everything else you own today.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for codes, steals, pets, and updates.

What is the best pet in Steal A Balut?

Whatever specimen currently shows the highest trustworthy $/s in your All Pets list. A Haribon near $3.5M/s led early public comparisons, but live numbers win.

Should I keep two pets with the same name?

Only if both rates are strong and you have slots. Baboy sa Likod Bahay copies differed by hundreds of thousands of $/s in footage — keep the higher one.

Are Index pets always good earners?

No. Index tracks names. Income tracks $/s. Claim, then unequip weak ones.

When should I replace a pet?

When a new place shows a higher $/s than your weakest equipped earner and you need that slot for income mode.

What do Galactic, Universal, and Rainbow mean?

They are mutation-style labels seen in update footage. One clip showed Universal around 400M/s and Rainbow near 1.1B/s on strong pets — always verify on your All Pets screen instead of assuming a fixed wiki multiplier.
