What is a argentavis used for? argentavis battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
An argy saddle is at lvl 62 but if ur on mobile u can get a tannery in the amber store for 40 amber and craft the argy saddle in the tannery but only at lvl 42.The argy’s saddle is also like a smithy.And the argy can carry metal ,metal ingots,obsidian,And crystal and make it half the weight
Pteranodon can carry very low weight but fly pretty fast for early and mid game. But Argy fly very slow but can carry a lot of weight and have weight reduction for metal, obsidian and crystal. So I take my Argy and my pteranodon with me on mining trips and it was very worth it.
Even though this app says you can’t, they can carry baryonyx on mobile in case you want to carry it out of the swamp to tame it more easily. I always used to go out exploring with my bary because he’s really strong but now that I have an argy I can explore much easier and still bring my bary to defend me
I have a lvl 230 argentavis and a lvl 240 pteranodon. After some testing I have come to the conclusion that Argentavis are actual hot garbage in terms of combat and travel. Despite their relatively high stamina, they’re slow as heck. They have 18 base damage, which is a bit higher than the pteranodon’s 15. However, every time a pteranodon attacks, it actually makes a double hit, effectively raising its base damage to 30. These guys also don’t have other special attacks like the pteranodon’s barrel roll (which does 2.5-3x the normal damage of a pteranodon). They do have more health but why would you need so much health as a flyer? If you get hit too many times you just fly away. Only aspect in which argentavis is clearly better at is weight, plus the fact that it has weight reduction for like every type of resource. So yeah it’s basically a ferocious looking cargo plane. If you want a good battle flyer just get a pteranodon.
(Note; This is on mobile, the same may not be true for other versions)
Definitly the most needed tame in the entire game. They are great for solo, pvp, or multiplayer pve because of their base stats, wieght reduction, and heaing buff. They can be used in a reascource runer/meat&hide runner(all), pvp mount(pvp), traping partner(pvp and solo), or travel mount(all)
To those people who can't pick up stuff with their argy, I’m pretty sure you have to go to the part of the menu and assign the multi tap left/right to the alternate attack 2 or 3. Not sure which one it’ll be on the argy. But one of those should pick things up. Hope this helps! :D
