Ultimate Mo Pet Build Guide: Max Damage with Bees & Chickens
Unleash Mo's Maximum Damage Potential
Every Mo player faces the same frustration: your summoned pets die too quickly before dealing real damage. After analyzing elite hunter Ekko's level 60 build, I've identified the core problem - most builds prioritize raw damage over pet survivability. This guide solves that with a tested framework hitting 7,100 DPS against multi-targets while keeping your bees, chickens, and tank alive. The secret lies in three synergistic survival layers we'll break down.
Core Gear Breakdown: The Pet Trinity
Buzzkill Weapon (Bee Summoner)
- Primary attack: Close-range AoE swings
- Combo effect: Every 4th attack spawns a bee (max 3)
- Key insight: Bees provide long-range single-target DPS but die easily without support
Sheldon Gadget (Tank & Taunt)
- Summons armored ally with 50% damage reduction
- Taunts enemies and deals close-range AoE
- 30-second cooldown requires strategic deployment
Chicken-O-Matic Passive (Chaos Generator)
- 10% chance per attack to summon close-range chicken
- Critical synergy: Chickens benefit from all pet buffs
Why this trio works: Bees handle distant threats, chickens swarm close targets, and Sheldon absorbs boss aggro. Testing shows this combination out-DPSes pure damage builds by 22% in sustained fights.
Survival Systems: Keeping Pets Alive
Vitamin Shot Gadget
- 10-second cooldown heal for you AND pets
- Attack speed boost increases pet DPS by 30%
- Pro tip: Time it when multiple pets are damaged
Vampire Teeth Passive
- Heals you on weapon attacks
- Heals pets on their attacks
- Essential for rift content with constant damage
Mixtape Passive
- Continuous AoE healing around player
- Works while moving during boss mechanics
- Triple-layer security: Your pets heal from attacks, area heals, and burst heals
Pet Health Ring
- Directly increases pet durability
- Non-negotiable for high-level content
The survival math: With all layers active, pets survive 3x longer than standard builds. Dead pets deal 0 DPS - this is where most builds fail.
Damage Amplification: Rings & Buffs
Frenzy Ring Priority
- +27% pet attack speed
- +110% pet damage (at level 58)
- Scales to +200% damage at max level
Savage Ring Optimization
- +73% pet crit chance (at level 55)
- Crits double chicken/bees damage
- Pair with Vampire Teeth for crit-healing synergy
Sticker Gadget Timing
- 20-second cooldown damage boost
- Affects both weapon AND pets
- Best used when:
- Engaging elite monsters
- During vitamin shot buff
- With 3 bees + chicken swarm
DPS Test Results
| Target Type | Duration | Avg DPS |
|---|---|---|
| Single Dummy | 60s | 5,800 |
| Multi Dummy | 60s | 7,100 |
| Live Overcharge | 45s | 6,200+ |
Damage verification: The 15% multi-target increase comes from Buzzkill's AoE - proof that weapon damage still matters in pet builds.

Dominate With Living Artillery
This build transforms Mo from a fragile summoner into a battlefield commander where every bee sting and chicken peck contributes to an unstoppable damage engine. The key insight? Pet longevity creates more damage than offensive stats alone. By combining Sheldon's taunt with triple healing systems, your summons outlast enemies while dealing 7,100+ DPS.
