What is a yutyrannus used for? yutyrannus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Packmate, I've been a Yutyrannus rider for a long time. I prefer Yutys over Rexes, as their control level is super high and they synergize well with pack creatures and apex predators alike. Their bites have crazy knockback, sending your prey over to your allies.
A Raptor pack is extremely dangerous when they stick by a Yutyrannus rider's side. Between my imprinted Raptors, their Pack Chant and the Courage Roar, my prey was killed so quickly that I legitimately forgot that they were even there for two seconds. It happens even faster when I have a five-pack of critters: three Raptors and two Allosaurs. Deinonychus work great, too!
Courage Roar adds even more damage to fantastic abilities like a Spino's Hydrated, Deinonychus' bleeding attacks and a Wyvern's breath weapon.
Lemme put it this way, packmate: Yutys are amazing for those who take the time to know their animal companions, or for Tribe cheiftains. Wild man or Tribesman, you can't go wrong with this tyrant.
For Gen 1, top of the line land mount to travel around with. Most things don't aggro, Fears ALMOST everything including other Yutys (takes a couple roars tho). Pump mostly HP & Stam and maybe some dmg, the increase isn't really that great per point tho. Which is fine since fear roar increases your dmg output anyways,if you need it. Plus when taming other X-Variants that extra damage helps a bit as well so good for taming.
You'll need 3 prim crossbows and 250 ish arrows to get a high level X-Variant tho. You can try tranq darts but that's pretty expensive.
The funny thing about these is when you scare something it literally poops ! So if your like me and you like to defend your base with lots of plant species - x or you like to grow lot of crops for recipes and tameing. This is an amazing fertilizer collecter . Also it's scare roar will give any creature I big damage reduction . I was taking a freshly tamed one home and I got jumped on by 3 raptors and I barely took and damage and the raptors ran away when my yutyranus roared
People are saying It’s fear roar does not effect wyverns but just so you know it actually does, just not as much, but still if it roars three times you will lose control of your wyvern. This just happened to me cause I thought it wasn’t effected by the roar and my best wyvern walked off a cliff and died to fall damage.
