  • Slot 1 pairs Rip (level 1) with Triple Snap (level 10). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
  • Slot 2 pairs Spiny Carapace (level 2) with Healing Wave (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
  • Slot 3 pairs Whirlpool (level 4) with Blood in the Water (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.
