What is a arthropluera used for? arthropluera battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Not exactly the best combat mount, slow, stamina isn't the best, a little squishy. But a few high levels of these on base defence are pretty good. Put a few in the inner parts of your base (along with the spiders to slow them down) and the will have your enemies armour being melted in seconds!
So, as far as I can tell, arthropluera deal more torpor damage for their melee stat than scorpions. I dont know if scorpions somehow scale better but this is what I have so far
My data so far:
Lvl 23 arthro - 202% melee ~ 170 torpor over a little under 10 seconds
Lvl 21 pulmino - 226% melee ~ 106 torpor over 10 seconds
Both were done in a single hit on a lvl 23 trike. Data is from mobile on easy
How to tame : bring a scorpion, tamed within cave (easily, with a frog), so nothing gonna agro on you
Uses (tonnes of uses) :
1 destroy armour and structure, even Tek ones
2 has tonnes of damage, in range attack
3 primary attack give some torpidity (not so much, but some)
4 deals damage back (when something agros on you, it get some damage back)
5 As it mostly spawn in cave, just tame it within, so almost nothing would agro on you while riding (unless you'd stupidly use some extra weapon), and even if it randomly agroes on you, it would be just for few attacks form the opponent wild, so you'd be almost invincible
6 definitely the best fighter, even if it's a bit slow and low on stamina
