What is a crystal wyvern used for? crystal wyvern battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Out of the three types of crystal wyverns:
Ember wyvern: does the most damage but needs high stamina to be effective.
Blood wyvern: best for PvE and is very good at killing players once picked due to their breath giving them a link to where the player is.
Tropical wyvern: best for PvP due to their ability to get a water buff which boosts stamina and flight speed.
(personally I think bloods are the best)
Some numbers for those interested in potentially breeding these guys; Melee mutations have a gain of 11.8%~ per, Health of 392.5 per, and stamina of 32.5 per. From playing with Blood Wyverns their lifeleech on their breath attack is tied to their health stat and not their melee stat, capping out at 35 healing per second at 10k or better health. Their lifeleech based on eating corpses however is 50% of their bite force (not affected by mate boost bonus but it is boosted by trained melee stat). For numbers of what stat capped looks like (254 points so training is available), health sits at 50k~ before imprint, melee at 1580%~ before imprint.
