Utility Tips

What is a deinonychus used for? deinonychus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They have a awesome jump attack (works best on diplodocus how I know),but the weakness of it is thatched you latch on big dinos they can sometimes hit you(if I’m not wrong).They can’t take fall damage and can climb (when they climb it doesn’t work so well at all).Getting them in packs is very useful and they can jump high and can make alpha buff(like direwolf).(I’m sorry if I wrote something wrong because I’m German)What do you think?Up if they are good.
Raptor on steroids, they have pack bonuses and cause bleeding that stack 5 times which makes them mountain removers, they can mount on the side of large creatures (not bosses though) and can't be damaged by that creature its attached to. Takes no fall damage has slowed falling combined with the ability to charge jump and can attach to walls, this guy is able to take on a low level Rex by itself. They also are easy to get because they get distracted by everything but just dip after snaging an egg.
Deinonychus are very underrated for boss fights especially on low rate servers. If you use a yuty with them the bosses will target the yuty and not the deinos. This means they will not get hit much so don’t need crazy mutated health. Deinos can also form a wall and stop the boss getting to you. Since deinos also bleed bosses and do percentage damage to them you do not have to spend time mutating their damage very high to kill alpha bosses. I have beat the 3 alpha island bosses with an army of slightly mutated deinos before. You would struggle doing the same with slightly mutated rexs.
This isn’t a tip but still there better than raptors I really suggest you use them I’m still in the low level area so I can’t take one but I assure you it will be worth it. How you may ask 1.climbs,2. Latches on to creatures. It’s super good for exploring and killing if you have a high level, pack
These are amazing and killing alpha creatures beachside of their bleed effect, a high level can solo kill an alpha raptor or a low lv alpha carno, and with the alpha Rex you can jump on their hind legs and bite them without being hit by the Rex, I’ve killed over 10 alpha Rex’s with these things.
Their nests can actually be found around the castle that’s in the grasslands. The castle there is also a decent base location with nearby deinonychus eggs to snatch and hatch or use for extraordinary kibble to tame things faster. Deinonychus are also great creatures to have to move around and take no fall damage while your mounted, and they also do a bleed effect with their attacks. I would say this is a useful tame, as they can climb walls (such as cliffs, etc.).
If you copy your behavior order from one of your raptor to nearby raptors, make sure your Dei packs are not around since they also count themselves as Raptors...
I ordered my raptors to wander and attack inside their leash range, the Deinonychus near them also got affected by the same order and started to run all over the places...
