What is a daeodon used for? daeodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
So their main shtick is healing, but these guys can be quite powerful as mounts. I’m on an unofficial server with the health gains pumped up high, but I’m sure these guys are tanky regardless! They can certainly hold their own when you’re out and about against many other creatures!
Just so everyone knows, do NOT bring these things into the boss arena unridden. Just use them to heal your creatures after the fight. Their healing in the boss fight is pretty mediocre because they tend to waste all their food early on, and bringing multiple daeodons sacrificed damage from what could have been a few rexes instead. However, if you have more than 1 player ridden daeodons will be a lot less wasteful and the player on them can use a shotgun when they’re not healing.
At this moment, Daeodons DO NOT get a pack bonus and only eat meat/kibble. Its healing ability has a minimum regeneration of 3 health per tick (about 1.8 ticks per second) and a maximum of about .2% of Max health. This holds true until above 100k Max health, where the regeneration is at a much lower and random percentage (Tested on single player with my caveman eyes, so please correct me if I'm wrong).
