In Hero Reborn: Eternal Pact, the Pet Showcase Event is one of the most rewarding yet complex bi-weekly events in the game. It tests not only your breeding efficiency but also how well you can optimise your pets’ generation, traits, and growth rate.
The first Pet Showcase appears on Day 34 of each server, and it’s quite different from the initial pet-unlocking tutorial event. This guide breaks down exactly how the event works, how rankings are determined, and how to prepare effectively using your Gen 5 pets.
Event Summary
- Event Type: Bi-Weekly Pet Showcase
- Unlocks: Day 34 of new servers
- Eligible Pets: Only Gen 5 pets
- Pet Slots: 10 (You can assign up to 10 Gen 5 pets to your score)
- Goal: Rank based on total Pet Points calculated from Growth Rate + Traits
Ranking Categories
There are multiple ranking categories you can compete in. Each offers unique rewards depending on how your pets perform.
| Ranking Title | Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Future is Bright | Highest Growth Rate | Rank for having the pet with the best stats and trait combination. |
| Weakest Beast | Lowest Trait Power | Rank for having pets with poor trait rolls or low potential (still gives rewards). |
| No Future | Lowest Growth Rate | Rank for the pet with the smallest overall growth rate. |
Each of these has separate leaderboards, and even lower ranks (like Top 100) often provide decent currency and material rewards, making participation worthwhile.
How Scoring Works
Your total event score depends mainly on:
- Pet Generation (Gen 5 Only) – Only fifth-generation pets are valid.
- Trait Quality – Each red, orange, or purple trait contributes points.
- Growth Rate – The higher your pet’s growth rate, the better your “Future is Bright” ranking.
Here’s the Trait Point Breakdown (from LTZ’s compiled data):
| Trait Type | Points |
|---|---|
| Red Trait | +500 pts |
| Orange Trait | +250 pts |
| Purple Trait | +100 pts |
| Blue / Silver Trait | +50 pts |
This means maximizing red traits is essential for high scores.
Event Preparation Strategy
To perform well in this event, start preparing at least a week before Day 34. Here’s how:
1. Prepare Gen 5 Pets
You can only assign Gen 5 pets, so begin breeding Gen 5 candidates early.
- Use high-growth red pets for your top entries.
- Save weaker 0.5 growth rate pets for the “No Future” leaderboard.
- Keep mid-quality silver/purple pets for “Weakest Beast.”
2. Focus on Red Traits
Each red trait massively boosts your score. The easiest path is to:
- Breed two Gen 4 pets that already have 2x red traits.
- Aim for a final Gen 5 pet with 3–4 red traits.
If you don’t have enough red traits:
- Crossbreed with orange/purple trait pets to increase variety in your 10 slots.
- Remember: You’re scored on all 10 assigned pets, not just one.
3. Save Your Eggs
Avoid hatching all eggs before the event. Instead:
- Stockpile eggs close to the event date.
- When the Pet Showcase goes live, hatch and merge them into your Gen 5 lineup.
4. Balance Your Lineup
You need different pets for different rankings:
| Ranking Goal | Pet Type to Prepare |
|---|---|
| Future is Bright | 3–4x Red Trait Gen 5 with 2.5+ Growth Rate |
| Weakest Beast | 2x Silver Trait Purple/Orange Pet |
| No Future | 0.5 Growth Rate Pet |
This ensures you can enter multiple leaderboards for extra rewards.
Why “Useless Pets” Are Now Valuable
During normal gameplay, low-growth or silver-trait pets are often discarded — but in this event, they become strategic assets.
- A 0.5 growth rate pet is your ticket to the “No Future” rank.
- A purple/orange pet with 2x silver traits helps for “Weakest Beast.”
- Even low-quality Gen 5s can boost your 10-slot total score.
In short: don’t delete low-stat pets before this event.
Reward Overview
While the exact numbers may vary between servers, rewards typically include:
- Diamonds / Premium Currency
- Pet EXP and Trait Stones
- Breeding Materials / Rare Essences
- Exclusive Titles (Top 1–2 ranks)
Even mid-tier ranks (Top 50–100) offer valuable resources, making participation highly rewarding even if you don’t aim for the title ranks.
The Pet Showcase Event in Hero Reborn: Eternal Pact isn’t just about showing off your strongest pet—it rewards strategy, patience, and preparation. Whether you aim for the top or settle into one of the side rankings, optimizing Gen 5 breeding and trait selection can secure you consistent bi-weekly rewards.
If you’re still building your first Gen 5s, start by following LTZ’s Pet Breeding Guide, then align your efforts toward red trait stacking and growth rate control for the next showcase cycle.
