  • Slot 2 pairs Survival (level 2) with Feign Death (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
  • Slot 3 pairs Frog Kiss (level 4) with Swarm of Flies (level 20). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.

Before leveling this pet for a team, check which of these alternatives your plan needs. Compare its in-game health, power and speed with the requirements of the encounter. A matching ability name alone does not establish that two pets are interchangeable.
