+1 Ride Pets to Fight Beginner Guide
Last updated:
Start your first run in +1 Ride Pets to Fight by training a pet, collecting Shells in battle, and using them to forge another mount.
Quick answer
Ride a pet you own and attack an unlocked training dummy for Power and XP. Enter Stage 1, click to attack and press Q when your skill is ready. Collect Shells with E, use BACK to return and stash them, then forge a pet with at least four Shells.
Ride a Pet and Train for Power and XP
- Open Pets or My Pets and select a pet you own.
- Choose RIDE on its card. Your active mount is marked RIDING and serves as both your mount and weapon.
- Ride to a training dummy you have unlocked and attack it to gain Power and XP. Train to build strength before heading into battle.
Different pets can provide different Power gains per training hit. For facility unlocks and ways to improve training, see the training guide.
Enter Stage 1 and Use Your Attacks
Follow the red road from the main plaza into Stage 1. Click to use your pet's ordinary attack, and press Q when its special skill is ready. Move out of red ground warnings before the attack lands; if your health is getting low, pull away from enemies to create space.
Collect Shells and Return to Stash Them
- After defeating enemies or a boss, approach a Shell on the ground and press E when COLLECT appears.
- Watch your bag counter as you collect. When it reaches capacity, the game displays BAG FULL! GO FORGE!
- Use BACK at the top of the screen to return. Your carried Shells are stashed, a STASHED message appears, and the carrying counter clears. You can return with a partially filled bag, too.
Stashed Shells are available at the forge. If your bag fills too often, see the Shell collection and bag guide for capacity options.
Forge a Pet and Choose Your Next Mount
- Go to the FORGE in the main plaza and open Egg Forge.
- Select at least four Shells. Repeated Shells count, so you do not need four different types. You can choose them manually or use BEST to make an automatic selection.
- Review the selected materials and Forge Chances. Change the selection if you want to keep a Shell or prefer different odds; adding materials can lower the chance of a particular rarity.
- Press FORGE! and wait for the random pet result. Choose RIDE IT! on the result card to switch immediately, or change mounts later through Pets.
For material combinations and rarity chances, see the Egg Forge guide.
Repeat the Loop and Check Rebirth
Compare your new pet with your current mount before deciding what to ride. For training, look at Power gained per hit. For fighting, consider Health, Damage, and whether the special skill helps you handle enemies. You can use different pets for different goals; the pet directory has their known abilities and attributes.
When you reach the level shown in the Rebirth menu, you can rebirth to reset your Power and Level in exchange for lasting growth bonuses. Train again afterward and use any newly unlocked facility. See the Rebirth guide for requirements and bonuses, or the progression guide if you are stuck and need to choose what to improve next.
