Tips & Strategies
Their healing ability is overpowered. At 100 bloodrage, they regenerate health faster than any healing dino in the game. With a decent Carchar, you can kill wild gigas with ease if you have the bloodrage. Their healing out heals the bleeding effect. Not just that, they don’t rage, and if a fight is looking bad, they can zoom away at a speed as fast as a tek suit. They have a very nice turn radius, and they have better stamina management than a giga has. Overall, these guys are insane for osds and element nodes on extinction. Tested, I ran a purple osd with one tribemate. We had 2 carchars, both non mutated and only 36 base melee points. At 100 bloodrage, we were out healing the damage against us. At wave 7, we were around half hp, but the Carchars were already healing thousands of health by the second. With an extra tribemate, we could have gone for as long as we wanted to. I would definitely use Carchars over gigas in everyday use. The only purpose I see in gigas now is to run bosses on extinction and the mini bosses on fjordur. Even then, gigas may be completely discarded once Carchars are mutated enough. (Gigas will probably always have a use, I’m just being a silly Carchar fan)

My tribe did this once. Instead of taming a high level carch, they gained its trust. For the 10 minutes, they used its wild stats to absolutely DECIMATE a enemy tribe, including their giga (which was low level) and the massacre got it tamed. They used it to its highest advantage, and some of you should try that too
Has a bloodrage buff that counts kills up to 100 and slowly decays when you don't make kills. At full rage, does x2.75 damage. Gets a 10 sec buff after every kill that greatly increases movement speed and gives stun immunity. Much tighter turn radius than a giga, runs faster, a little better stamina scaling. Seems like either bloodrage or the speed buff heals it a bit as well. Has a roar that zeros out the bloodrage counter. I'm told the roar gives a speed buff to allies. Tail spin attack a similar to a Reaper. Overall, it is comparable to or better than a giga in most respects.
Guys, please don’t mess with player damage in ARK ultimate edition unless you want to accidentally kill your carch, use backup save to get it back, and then accidentally kill it again so that you have no carch anymore.
I definitely didn’t do this, and I definitely didn’t stop playing for a few days because of it.
You definitely can’t hit your own friggin dinosaurs and kill them, either…….
In my opinion, this Dino is amazing. And here’s why it’s better than a giga: It runs way faster than giga, way more stam, and the rage can really stack. The tail attack allows it to hit everything around it, while the giga can only bite in one direction. Overall, this great Dino will DEFINITELY be worth taming :)
