Utility Tips
What is a lymantria used for? lymantria battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Literally my favorite tame in ark, period. Maybe they aren't as useful as other flying creatures, but they make for really good scouts (as not many people really watch for a lymantria in the sky) and really good supports for a fight since their attack will slow medium and small creatures to an almost stop.
Plus, they are so cute!
Tamed Lymantrias make excellent base buddies. They are slow and agile - making them ideal for offloading dinos and building tall bases. They can also easily land on a target 1x1 square, and usually stay on that square if you need to turn while landed. This particularly is useful for reloading turrets or placing that last ceiling. For low level base buddies, level weight and stamina. For high level base buddies, only level weight.
If you level up stamina, they are really good at stealing deinonychus eggs. If the deinonychus are on a cliff you can fly them off of it. If the deino's aggro when you steal the egg, just use your spores attack. If you do get hit by the deino's, you don't need to worry: lymantria's have low health so the bleed damage wil be really low too. Happy egg-thieving!
One time one actually saved me and it wasn’t even mine. I was gathering something for my raptor bc it got hurt badly, and a huge lvl 20 rex comes stomping around and all I see is a blue flutter in front of my face and like, 2 mins later the rex is no more. I then tamed the moth, made a saddle and got my raptor and went home. Hide behind moth wings for protecting if your animal is hurt or not with u, tame the moth, and enjoy!
