This article ranks every Fisch companion by the strength of its passive ability, from S-tier must-haves to F-tier skips. You’ll get a clear tier list, an explanation of how companion passives work, and practical advice on which pet to pick based on your playstyle and goals.
How Companion Passives Work
Companions in Fisch are cosmetic pets that follow you around, but each one has a unique passive that activates under specific conditions. Passives range from boosting your luck during certain weather to increasing the value of rare fish. The passive is always active as long as the companion is equipped, but some require you to meet a trigger (e.g., it’s raining, or you’re fishing at night).
Key mechanics to understand:
- Passive triggers – Some passives only work during a specific time, weather, or location. Check the companion’s description for exact conditions.
- Stacking – Only one companion’s passive is active at a time. If you switch companions, the new passive replaces the old one.
- No cooldowns – Passives are always on when their condition is met; there’s no activation cost.
Tier List: Best Companions Ranked
Here’s the current ranking based on passive usefulness for general play, money-making, and rare catches. The list assumes you’re using the companion for its passive, not just as a cosmetic.
S-Tier (Game-Changing Passives)
- Orca – +15% luck during storms. Storms are common and this boost applies to all catches, making it the best all-rounder for rare fish.
- Megalodon – +20% luck for shark-class fish. If you’re hunting sharks for profit or the Bestiary, this is unmatched.
- Bloatfish – +10% luck when fishing in the Ocean. The Ocean is the most fished area, so this is effectively a permanent +10%.
A-Tier (Strong Situational Boosts)
- Penguin – +15% luck during snow. Excellent in the Snowcap Island area, but only useful when it’s snowing.
- Sea Turtle – +10% luck during the day. Reliable, but a smaller boost than S-tier options.
- Anglerfish – +15% luck at night. Great for night fishing, but you may prefer a passive that works all day.
B-Tier (Niche or Low Impact)
- Clownfish – +5% luck in coral reefs. Very niche, only useful in specific spots.
- Pufferfish – +5% luck when fishing in the Ocean. Same as Bloatfish but half the boost.
- Crab – +5% luck on the beach. Only helps in a few areas.
C-Tier (Minimal or Cosmetic Only)
- Jellyfish – No passive, purely cosmetic.
- Starfish – No passive, purely cosmetic.
- Seahorse – No passive, purely cosmetic.
How to Choose the Right Companion
Your choice depends on what you’re doing:
- General grinding – Bloatfish (Ocean) or Orca (storms) for consistent luck boosts.
- Rare fish hunting – Megalodon if you’re targeting sharks, Anglerfish for night-specific rares.
- Bestiary completion – Choose a passive that matches the area you’re currently filling in.
- Money making – The higher the luck, the more valuable fish you’ll catch, so prioritize S-tier.
Common Mistakes and Misconceptions
Many players assume that all companions have a passive, but a few are purely cosmetic. Also, some passives seem stronger than they are because the trigger is rare. For example, Snow is less frequent than rain, so a snow-boost passive is less valuable than a storm-boost one. Another mistake is thinking passives stack if you own multiple companions – they don’t. Only the equipped one matters.
Comparison to Other Boost Methods
Companion passives are not the only way to boost luck. You can also use bait, rods with luck stats, and game passes. Companions are unique because they don’t require you to change your gear – they just sit on your shoulder. However, their boosts are generally smaller than a good rod’s luck stat. A companion with +15% luck is a nice bonus, but it won’t replace a high-level rod.
Cost and Availability
Companions are obtained through the in-game shop with Robux (premium currency) or through special events. Prices vary, but most are in the 100–500 Robux range. Some are limited-time, so if you see one you like, grab it before it’s gone. There’s no in-game way to earn them without spending money, so budget accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do companion passives stack with bait or rod luck?
Yes, companion passives stack multiplicatively with other luck sources. For example, if you have a +10% companion passive and a +20% rod luck, your total luck is roughly +32% (1.1 × 1.2), not +30%. This makes companions even more valuable when combined with good gear.
Can I get a companion without spending Robux?
Most companions are Robux-only, but during special events (like Christmas or Halloween), some are given out free. Keep an eye on the official game announcements for limited-time freebies.
Which companion is best for beginners?
Bloatfish is the best early-game choice because it gives a flat +10% luck in the Ocean, where you’ll spend most of your time. It’s affordable and useful from the start.
Are there any companions that increase fish value instead of luck?
As of now, no companion directly increases fish value. All passives focus on luck or a specific catch condition. For value boosts, you’ll need to use bait or rods with that stat.
Do companions affect the chances of catching mythic or legendary fish?
Yes, luck boosts affect the odds of catching any fish, including rare ones. A higher luck percentage means a better chance at mythic and legendary catches, so S-tier companions are worth it if you’re hunting those.
What happens if I equip a companion that has no passive?
Nothing – it just follows you around. You won’t get any gameplay benefit, but it can be a fun cosmetic. If you’re looking for an edge, always equip a companion with a passive.
