If you want to stop begging for Pet Food and start feeding every combat beast in your roster without swiping, you need a Cheetah. This blue-rarity Generation 2 pet isn't flashy in a fight—but its unique skill, Scent Mastery, turns it into a self-replenishing Pet Food factory. Miss this early investment and you leave thousands of free Pet Food on the table every month. Let’s break down exactly how to unlock, level, and exploit this resource engine for maximum long-term gain.

What Exactly Is the Cheetah’s Role in Kingshot?
Generation 2 pets—the Cheetah and the Moose—unlock around server Day 80. This is a server-age gate, not a player-level gate, so your whole server gets access at roughly the same time. You still need Town Center Level 18 to even see the pet system. Once Gen 2 is live, you capture this spotted speedster by approaching a wild beast in the world, riding it, and holding on until the tame completes. Store it in your Beast Cage immediately. Remember: each wild pet can only be tamed and fed a maximum of 2 times per day, so don’t expect to brute-force the capture with stockpiled items.
As a Blue (Rare) pet, the Cheetah caps at Level 70 and provides solid baseline Squad Attack and Squad Defense buffs. However, those combat stats are not why you’re here. This pet’s entire identity revolves around Scent Mastery, a unique skill that generates free Pet Food on a 23-hour cooldown. It does not grant march speed bonuses—that confusion comes from later-generation pets. If you need a speedster for rallies, look elsewhere. For a compounding resource economy that fuels every other pet you own, the Cheetah is non-negotiable.
How Does Scent Mastery Generate Pet Food?
Scent Mastery unlocks at Pet Level 10. Before that threshold, your Cheetah is just a passive stat stick. The skill’s description reads: “As a natural predator, its keen sense of smell allows it to instantly locate 500 pet food. (Cooldown: 23h).” That 500 value is the ceiling—the actual amount you receive scales with the skill level, which automatically climbs every time you advance the pet (every 10 levels).
The cooldown stays fixed at 23 hours regardless of skill level. That’s slightly less than a full day, and clever timing can net you an extra activation over a weekly cycle. Here’s the exact food payout per skill tier:
| Skill Level | Pet Level Range | Pet Food per Activation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10–19 | ~200 |
| 2 | 20–29 | ~250 |
| 3 | 30–39 | ~300 |
| 4 | 40–49 | ~350 |
| 5 | 50–59 | ~400 |
| 6 | 60–69 | ~450 |
| 7 | 70 (max) | ~500 |
These numbers are consistent across community databases. Every skill level bump adds roughly 50 more Pet Food per activation. Over a month, that difference explodes into thousands of extra resources you can pump straight into your damage-dealing pets.
Think of it as a daily collection building. Hit the button, grab your food, log off. Miss a day, and you’re burning resources you can never get back.
How Do the Cheetah’s Combat Buffs and Refinement Work?
Like all pets, the Cheetah gives Squad Attack and Squad Defense that scale with its level. It won’t out-buff a Purple or Gold pet at the same level, but it’s a meaningful stat stick for mid-game players. The real customization starts at Level 10, when six secondary buff slots open: Lethality and Health for Infantry, Cavalry, and Archers. All six start at 0% and must be improved through the Refine system.
Refining consumes a Taming Mark (Common or Advanced) and randomly adjusts those percentages. After each roll, you choose Replace to lock in the new values or Retry to keep the old ones. The mark is spent either way. The crucial, permanent-upgrade mechanic: once a secondary buff rarity tier increases, it can never drop back down. That makes every successful rarity jump permanent progress.
Community testing shows the Cheetah shares refinement ceilings with the Moose, consistent for a Blue (Rare) pet. The maximum value you can achieve per secondary stat at each rarity tier:
| Rarity Tier | Max Value per Stat |
|---|---|
| Gray (Common) | 3.02% |
| Green (Uncommon) | 6.03% |
| Blue (Rare) | 10.06% |
| Purple (Epic) | 14.08% |
| Gold (Legendary) | 20.11% |
A critical gating detail: a secondary buff cannot upgrade from Common to Uncommon until the pet reaches Level 20. You can refine before then to improve numbers, but don’t expect a rarity jump until you hit that threshold. Once you’re past it, dump your Common Taming Marks liberally—every locked rarity bump is forever.
What Resources Do You Need to Level and Advance Your Cheetah?
Getting this pet to its food-generating potential takes Pet Food for every level and specific advancement materials at each 10‑level gate. The bottleneck escalates sharply at Level 50, when Promotion Medallions enter the picture. These medallions come only from high-tier events and special bundles. Manage them carefully or you’ll stall your entire pet progression.
Here’s the advancement cost table for a Blue/Rare pet, sourced from community data:
| Advancement | Growth Manuals | Nutrient Potions | Promotion Medallions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 10 → 11 | ~25 | — | — |
| Level 20 → 21 | ~50 | — | — |
| Level 30 → 31 | ~75 | 10 | — |
| Level 40 → 41 | ~100 | 20 | — |
| Level 50 → 51 | ~155 | 30 | 10 |
| Level 60 → 61 | ~200 | 50 | 20 |
Beyond the advancement gates, each individual level still eats Pet Food—expect around 300–700 per level early on, climbing to several thousand later. You’ll source these materials from Arena, Pet Adventures, the Alliance Championship Shop, and the Beast Whisperer event. Taming Marks also flow from the same shops and events. Start stockpiling Growth Manuals and Nutrient Potions early so you’re never stuck waiting at a gate.
What Is the Best Strategy to Maximize This Pet’s Value?
The Cheetah is a compounding investment vehicle. Every piece of Pet Food it generates can be redirected into leveling your other pets—turning a resource pet into a roster-wide force multiplier. Follow this optimised path and you’ll squeeze the most out of it.
Step 1: Capture it immediately. As soon as Gen 2 drops on your server, head out and tame one. There’s zero reason to delay.
Step 2: Rush to Level 10. Everything before this is just unlocking the skill. Dump your early Pet Food into the Cheetah until Scent Mastery appears.
Step 3: Hit Scent Mastery every 23 hours without fail. Treat it like a daily resource collection. That cooldown drift adds up—if you activate at 8 AM today and 7 AM tomorrow, you can eventually squeeze an eighth activation into a week.
Step 4: Begin refinement early. Once Level 10 hits, throw Common Taming Marks at those secondary buffs. Because rarity upgrades are permanent, any progress you make now sticks forever. Save Advanced Marks for pushing toward Purple and Gold tiers later.
Step 5: Advance in stages—don’t over-commit. The most resource-efficient plan is to clear an advancement gate, then pause and let Scent Mastery repay the investment before pushing further. This is especially important at Level 50, where Promotion Medallions first appear. Unless you have a surplus, hold at 50 or 60 and funnel your scarce medallions into higher-rarity combat pets once they’re available.
To see why this matters, look at the monthly output scaling:
| Skill Level | Daily Output | Monthly Output (~30 days) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ~200 | ~6,000 |
| 2 | ~250 | ~7,500 |
| 3 | ~300 | ~9,000 |
| 4 | ~350 | ~10,500 |
| 5 | ~400 | ~12,000 |
| 6 | ~450 | ~13,500 |
| 7 | ~500 | ~15,000 |
Jumping from Skill Level 1 to Level 7 triples your monthly Pet Food income from this one pet. That’s 15,000 extra Pet Food you can use to level your best damage dealers, all without spending a dime.
What Are the Most Common Mistakes to Avoid?
Even veteran players slip up with this pet. Steer clear of these traps:
- Expecting combat carry potential. The Cheetah provides zero unique combat skills, no march speed, no burst window. It is a resource engine. If you slot it in expecting a hidden DPS spike, you’ll be disappointed.
- Skipping daily Scent Mastery activations. Missing even two days a week costs you 400–1,000+ Pet Food monthly. Set a reminder.
- Over-investing past your Promotion Medallion supply. Pushing to Level 60 or 70 without a stable medallion income chokes your ability to advance other pets that deliver real combat power.
- Ignoring refinement entirely. Those 0% secondary buffs will stay 0% forever until you refine. Since rarity can’t downgrade, there’s absolutely no downside to using Common Marks early.
- Refining before Level 20 expecting rarity upgrades. You can improve percentages, but rarity won’t jump from Common to Uncommon until the pet hits Level 20. Don’t waste mental energy wondering why you’re stuck.
What Advanced Tricks Can Give You an Edge?
These tactics separate the resource-rich from the resource-starved:
Cooldown drift stacking. Because the cooldown is 23 hours, you can shift your activation time forward by an hour each day. Over a week you gain an entire extra use. Over a year that’s a mountain of free Pet Food. Discipline pays.
Troop-focused refinement. When refining secondary buffs, decide based on your main march composition. If you’re Cavalry-heavy, aggressively hunt for Cavalry Lethality and Health upgrades and reroll infantry or archer gains unless they’re massive. The Replace/Retry choice should always favour your primary troop type.
Beast Whisperer synergy. Time your big levelling pushes around the Beast Whisperer event. Stack the Cheetah’s daily Pet Food with event rewards to punch through multiple advancement gates on your combat pets in one go.
What Do Players Frequently Ask About the Cheetah?
Does the Cheetah give speed buffs?
No. Scent Mastery generates Pet Food. March speed bonuses belong to other Generation pets. If you need faster marches, this is not your pet.
When does Gen 2 unlock?
Around server Day 80, gated by server age, not player level. You still need Town Center 18 to access pets at all.
What’s the maximum level?
70, matching its Blue/Rare rarity. At Level 70, Scent Mastery hits Skill Level 7 with 500 Pet Food per activation.
How often can I use Scent Mastery?
Every 23 hours. The cooldown never changes as the skill levels up.
Can secondary buff rarity decrease after an upgrade?
Never. Once you hit Uncommon, Rare, Epic, or Legendary, it’s locked forever.
When can secondary buffs start upgrading rarity?
Community testing indicates you must reach Pet Level 20 before a buff can jump from Common to Uncommon.
The Bottom Line
The Cheetah won’t win you a single battle by itself. What it will do is fuel every pet that does. Treat this resource generator as an early, mandatory investment, push it to at least Level 50 with daily Scent Mastery activations, and refine its secondary buffs as you go. The Pet Food it prints over weeks and months is the difference between a starved, half-levelled pet roster and a stable of fully fed, combat-ready beasts. Get yours today, set a daily alarm, and watch your whole lineup grow stronger without spending a cent.
