Which one is better? The hercules or the phoniex?

Which one does better attack/defense? And which one is the best tank?

Is it true that phoniex do less damage to ground beasts than flying beasts?

Which is more powerful and useful?

    Phoenix is better, but it can't be used inside instances, so you can't do TT or FBs with it.
    Everyone here is ridiculously oversensitive.

    Depends on the situation.

    Attack-wise phoenix is the best. As for best tank by FAR hercules over 2x mdef/pdef of the phoenix with his buffs on.

    No.

    Money making/tanking = hercules.
    Pvp/flying/grinding = phoenix.

    Purely from a stats angle, the only thing phoenix gives up to herc is a little bit of HP, every other stat is atleast as good or better....infact if we're only looking at the stats, the phoenix can't really be challenged by any other pet in the game in ANY area.

    Herc comes with a skill set that enhances it's tanking abilities, whereas phoenix comes with a skill set that enhances it's attack abilities..... though I'm sure if you're willing to shell out $200 for pet pixels you'll be more than glad to spend several million coins to customize the skill sets to whatever you want them to be..... so I don't really see this as being much of an issue.

    Flying/landbased does introduce some limitations as has already been noted, flying pets can't enter instances, lowered attack when fighting land based enemies, etc, but then Herc can't be used for fighting air mobs, can't skim water mobs off the surface, and will randomly despawn in areas such as swamp of wraiths where you're fighting mobs in ankle-deep water.

    It really is like comparing apples to oranges, but if you're really looking for the most powerfull pet in the game, I'd say the scales probably tip pretty heavily in favor of the phoenix.
