In King’s Choice, the breed of a Pet doesn’t inherently determine a good racer; rather, its attributes do. In the King’s Choice Pet Race event your pet competes against the other five players pet in a race course. The course is strategically designed with obstacles combining varying weather conditions that impact the pet’s performance on the course. The pet with good attributes and a perfect skill set wins the race.
To win the event you need to know a few things. Let’s check them out one by one in our King’s Choice Pet Race guide, and additionally, we will also tell you several winning combinations of skill sets.

Choosing Skill Combinations in the King’s Choice Pet Race
This is the most important step of the event preparation. You should focus either on walking or running to get the best result in the race. Apart from that you can also access the ‘peak record’ tab to check which skill combination is working better. Here are some proven skill combinations you can always try out.
1. Walking Strategy
- Expert walker, Power of Walking, Eye for an Eye, Spare No Effort, Roll of Luck, Schadenfreude, Obedience Up. (You can use any 5 of the above 7, however, skills marked in bold are most recommended)
- Tip- Schadenfreude works well at the beginning of the event but as time passes and people start to use Roll of Luck, Schadenfreude keeps getting useless (mostly nearing the end of the event). Additionally, use the pet that has the highest Obedience attribute for better results in walking strategy.
2. Running Strategy
- Full Speed Ahead, Opportune Momentum, Vitality Supplement, Press Forward, Physique Up, After Storm, Roll of Luck, Ready for Battle, Preemptive Strike, Better and Better
- Tip– ‘After Storm‘ works best when used with ‘Roll of Luck‘ (else, very less effective). “Oppotune Momentum, Vitality Supplement, and Better and Better“ becomes a lethal combo when used together. As the skills study depends on luck, it’s hard to find the desired skills. Therefore, if you are choosing running strategy (at the beginning) try to pick from these 10 skills and slowly switch to these 5 bold skills. Also, use the pet which has the highest ‘Physique’ attribute for better results in running strategy.
3. Peak Record
Apart from these two strategies you can always check peak-records and try out those combinations. Sometimes, desired skills don’t come out from the skill study, in those cases you may have to mix up the strategies and try to get the best out of it.
4. Additional Strategy
You are matched with the players ranked around you. Therefore, don’t rush to burn all the attempts/energy in one go. Just play 3/4 races and take a break (make sure the energy meter doesn’t stop). And finally play 9-10 races nearing the end of the day. This way will keep getting comparatively easy opponents.
