What is a argentavis used for? argentavis battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These are arguably the best all round flier for traveling, they have good stam and carry weight, decent health and damage, and can regenerate health when harvesting meat, with an argie you could probably set up multiple bases around the map in about a week or two, I highly recommend looking for a high level instead of a low level because even though it may be harder to tame it will be worth it
Guys get one of these! I can not stress this enough. They are awesome! With enough health they can be flying tanks, and their OP stamina levels make up for their medium level speed. My argie Gibraltar can take out most dinos in one to three hits! He’s currently level 111 (ik not that good but it’s my first world I’ve actually played on and I was weak so max levels are like 115) They are also helpful when starting on a new base. Their saddles work as smithies and you can store all that crap on them easy peasy. Wild Dino broke all your armor? Rifle or crossbow snapped? Just turn around to your argie that you would obviously take every where bc you’re so smart! You can pop that stuff in there and it’ll be fixed in no time! Guys, seriously these are one of the best dinos to get. Good stamina, carrying weight, beefy fighters— what more could a man want?
Can we talk about how the Argentavis are one the few flyers that don’t get a boost in speed after being tamed? For example every wild flyer is at 100% speed the normal speed, and if you knock out and tame a pteranodon then check their speed, it goes from 100% to 136% giving a 36% boost in speed just for being tamed. With the Argentavis even after being tamed it remains at 100% giving no boost😭 a fast Argentavis would be a completely game changer so that’s why they don’t give it a boost🥲 my current Argentavis is sitting at a 216% speed (that’s with a boost) and it’s faster than a wild Tapejara and that’s pretty fast. So if you’re gonna really invest into any Argentavis, it’s better if that argentavis is a fully imprinted one because with a full imprint it’s gives a 20% boost in health, weight, damage, and SPEED. That way you put less points into speed and add them mainly into weight because they’re great at transporting thing with the weight reduction. Anyways that’s all you mainly want to know about their speed.
Gotta say after the flyer nerf they seem to be less desirable but since it's tlc it has just been so useful for mid tier players, most of my high level mid sized dinos was tamed by my argent like my max level thyla, bary and even my ankies and doedics, everytime i venture out, i use my argent, yeah they are kinda slow but I'm in a single player save so it doesnt really matter, plus they can stay in the air for a very long time
One of the most useful tames in Ark, especially for mid level players. I put a lot of points into health to help me carry creatures to a taming pen and a lot in stamina to make them killing machines. They can easily kill wyverns as long as the rider doesn't die. They are great pack animals, especially with the reduced weight for stone, metal, obsidian, and crystal. The only real downside is that they're somewhat slow, although they tend to have decent stamina which makes up for it a bit.
