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.
How to tell if your carcharo's melee damage is good:
If the melee damage increases by +5% each time it levels up. If your leveling is multiplicative instead, then you did not tame a good enough carcharo.
Also if your carcharo has at least 260% melee damage, then you can use it to kill gigas, other carcharos, and titanos easily to get more exp. If it's imprinted, then you only need 200% melee damage. (1.5k damage per bite with 100 stacks)
