Alright, I’ve seen far too much poor information in these tips so I’m here to clarify.

1: Herbivores DO NOT take reduced fire damage. They only take reduced damage from the initial impact of the fireball. They will still take the full % damage from the dragon’s breath. However, veggie cakes are very useful and can help keep the heat off of your tames.

2: Tame ordering is almost mandatory for any team that isn’t comprised of player-ridden rhinos. Separate your dinos into 3 teams and don’t let more than 1 team take the same fire breath.

3: Utilize your yuty and other player-ridden mounts! Attack the side of the dragon that isn’t getting hit by the majority of your army. He should spew flames on your mount instead of hitting the main fighting force. This can allow you to tank a few more fire breaths than your army otherwise would.

Recommended tames:

*Yuty (obvious)

*Rex (always a solid option, just remember they can’t heal with cakes)

*Wooly rhino (Ridden only, do not ever ever ever bring these unridden)

*Therizino (basically a rex that can use cakes)

*Deinonychus (Only bring 2 of these, pump their melee to 600% and not further since their bleed damage is capped beyond this. Also expect them to die)

*Magmasaur (These are expensive, are a pain to breed and have a rather poor attack speed. However, they are immune to the fire breath)

*A good shotgun and 300ish shotgun shells (This will help if the dragon decides to cosplay the manticore and not land for awhile, or if your fighting force dies)
