Pets Upgrade Calculator
Calculate the materials needed to upgrade your pet from one level to another
1. Select your pet from the dropdown

3. Enter your desired target level
4. Optionally, check "I have materials" and enter your current materials to see how many more you need
5. Click "Calculate Materials" to see the requirements
Pets in Kingshot require various materials to level up and advance through tiers. Different rarities have different maximum levels:
- Grey Pets: Max Level 50
- Green Pets: Max Level 60
- Blue Pets: Max Level 70
- Purple Pets: Max Level 80
- Legendary Pets: Max Level 100
Advancement materials (Growth Manual, Nutrient Potion, Promotion Medallion) are required at specific milestone levels (10, 20, 30, etc.) to unlock the next tier.
As dedicated Kingshot players who have maxed Legendary pets to level 100, we understand the complexity of managing multiple pet upgrade materials. This calculator simplifies the entire process and prevents costly mistakes.
Complete Material Breakdown
Get precise counts for all 4 material types: Pet Food, Growth Manual, Nutrient Potion, and Promotion Medallion. Know exactly what you need before starting upgrades.
Rarity-Specific Calculations
Each pet rarity (Grey to Legendary) has different max levels and material requirements. Our calculator handles all rarities accurately with verified game data.
Inventory Tracking
Enter your current materials to see exactly how many more you need. Prevent running out of resources mid-upgrade and plan your farming efficiently.
Multi-Pet Strategy
Calculate requirements for multiple pets to prioritize which ones to upgrade based on your available materials and strategic needs.
Understanding pet upgrade mechanics helps you plan better. Here's how our calculator computes material requirements:
1. Rarity-Based Level Caps
Each pet rarity has a maximum level: Grey (50), Green (60), Blue (70), Purple (80), Legendary (100). The calculator validates your target level against these caps and adjusts material calculations accordingly.
2. Progressive Material Scaling
Material requirements increase with each level. Pet Food scales linearly, while advancement materials (Growth Manual, Nutrient Potion, Promotion Medallion) are needed at tier breakpoints:
Tier Breakpoints: Levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100Higher levels require more advancement materials per breakpoint.
3. Cumulative Material Sum
The calculator adds up Pet Food for every level in your range, plus all advancement materials needed at tier breakpoints. If upgrading from level 15 to 35, we sum food for levels 16-35 and advancement materials for the level 20 and 30 breakpoints.
4. Current Inventory Deduction
When you enable "I have materials" and input your current counts, the calculator subtracts these from total requirements, showing exactly how many more materials you need to farm.
5. Rarity-Specific Formulas
Higher rarity pets require more materials per level and tier. Legendary pets are significantly more expensive to max than Grey pets. Our formulas account for all rarity-specific scaling factors.
All material costs are based on official game data and continuously verified by our community's pet upgrade tracking.

Review and Plan
Use the results to prioritize which pets to upgrade and plan your farming strategy for pet events and daily activities.
Pro Tip: Focus on maxing your combat pets first - pets that provide direct battle bonuses offer the best return on investment!
Knowing material costs is essential, but smart pet upgrade strategy maximizes your investment. Here's how to decide:
⚔️Combat Pets First
Goal: Maximize battle effectiveness
- • Upgrade attack/defense pets first
- • Combat pets give immediate value
- • Legendary combat pets = top priority
- • Support pets can wait
🎯Rarity Prioritization
Goal: Focus on high-value pets
- • Legendary > Purple > Blue
- • Higher rarity = better bonuses
- • Max level caps matter
- • Don't waste on grey/green
💎Resource Management
Goal: Efficient material usage
- • Advancement materials = bottleneck
- • Farm pet events aggressively
- • Save medallions for high levels
- • Pet Food is most abundant
📊Tier Breakpoints
Goal: Reach key power spikes
- • Every 10 levels = new tier
- • Big stat jumps at breakpoints
- • Plan to reach next tier
- • Don't stop mid-tier
⏱️Event Optimization
Goal: Maximize event rewards
- • Wait for pet upgrade events
- • Get bonus materials while upgrading
- • Stock materials before events
- • Time big upgrades strategically
🏆Long-Term Planning
Goal: Complete pet progression
- • Legendary to 100 = huge investment
- • Plan 2-3 month timelines
- • Focus on 1-2 legendaries
- • Set realistic milestones
Universal Best Practices
Q: What are the maximum levels for each pet rarity?
A: Grey: 50 | Green: 60 | Blue: 70 | Purple: 80 | Legendary: 100. Higher rarity pets have higher caps and provide better bonuses at max level.
Q: What are tier breakpoints and why do they matter?
A: Tier breakpoints occur every 10 levels (10, 20, 30, etc.) and require advancement materials (Growth Manual, Nutrient Potion, Promotion Medallion) to unlock. Each new tier provides significant stat boosts, making these milestones critical power spikes.
Q: How do I get pet upgrade materials?
A: Pet Food: Pet events, daily quests, alliance shop. Growth Manual: Event milestones, pet chests. Nutrient Potion: Mid-tier event rewards. Promotion Medallion: High-tier events, special bundles (rarest material).
Q: Should I upgrade lower rarity pets or save materials for Legendary?
A: Save for Legendary if you have one or are close to getting one. Grey and Green pets have low caps (50-60) and poor stat scaling. Only upgrade Blue/Purple if they're your only combat pets. Legendary pets are always the best long-term investment.
Q: Which material is the bottleneck?
A: Promotion Medallions are the scarcest material, followed by Nutrient Potions. Pet Food and Growth Manuals are relatively abundant. Always check medallion requirements before committing to high-level upgrades.
Q: Can I upgrade multiple pets at once?
A: Yes, pet upgrades are instant - there's no queue or timer. However, your materials are limited, so use our calculator to prioritize which pets get upgraded first based on your strategic needs.
Q: Do combat pets and gathering pets require the same materials?
A: Yes, all pets of the same rarity use identical material requirements regardless of their function (combat vs. gathering). However, combat pets provide better value since they directly boost your battle power.
Q: What happens if I run out of materials mid-upgrade?
A: You won't be able to continue upgrading until you farm more materials. This is why using our calculator beforehand is crucial - it prevents you from starting upgrades you can't finish, especially before tier breakpoints.
Q: Should I wait for pet upgrade events?
A: Absolutely yes! Pet upgrade events give bonus rewards for the same upgrades. Calculate your needs beforehand, stockpile materials, and do all major upgrades during events to maximize value. Never upgrade high-level pets outside events.
Q: How long does it take to max a Legendary pet?
A: For F2P players, expect 2-4 months to max a single Legendary pet to level 100, depending on event participation and material farming. Spenders can accelerate this significantly. Focus on one Legendary at a time for best results.

The traffic here will not always say “pets upgrade calculator.” Many players search for Kingshot pet calculator, pet calculator Kingshot, or simply want to know how much pet food and promotion material they need before the next breakpoint.
Use this page as a pet-upgrade planner first. Then pair it with battle-focused tools when you need to decide whether a pet push changes actual fight value enough to justify the cost.
Use after pricing the pet upgrade so you can see whether the new stat stack materially changes battle or bear output.
Useful when pet upgrades are being planned specifically for alliance PvE readiness.
Helpful when pet-food or medallion bundles are tempting and you need a value check first.
Does this page work for Kingshot pet calculator searches?
Yes. It already covers the main pet-calculator intent by turning pet level targets into material requirements and shortfall planning.
Should I upgrade pets before hero gear or charms?
Only if the pet push changes an actual combat or event outcome. Otherwise the better move may be the cheaper system with the clearer breakpoint.
What is the main bottleneck in pet upgrades?
Usually the advancement materials, not raw pet food. That is why breakpoint planning matters more than just stacking one generic resource.
