What is a deinonychus used for? deinonychus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Excellent at breeding mutations these raptors are merciless when you get a pack of 5 or more, set them on dinos after buffing them with your pack leader and watch a literal biological meat grinder, recommend going with hp mutations as they have non existent health pools and are essentially glass cannons however their sheer numbers and vicious stacking bleed dot (damage over time) not to mention 0 fall damage from ANY height and the ability to traverse any terrain above water (not terrible in the water for a land dino) make this raptor very desirable it should be noted that the pack mate buff (press C on computer) can be used while attacking, moving, falling, swimming, or while latched onto an enemy dino, (activation will uncouple you from enemy dino) most of the time not even playing the animation allowing you to get powered up and not miss a single attack from the leader or pack, Deinonychus FTW!!!
I say their great hunting tools for large animals.For example:a rex you can just latch on to it and do damage then you have some hide,raw prime meat and raw meat(P.S anything large it can latch onto examples: Diplo,bronto titanasaur giga.Nonexamples:raptor dodo oviraptor micro raptor otter)
There’s this bug with creatures that can jump up walls (the ferox and deinonychus) where if a yuty fear roars you and you jump onto a wall and latch, your camera angle will be super weird and sideways. The only way I know of to fix this is logging out/restarting your game. Or just don’t jump onto stuff if you’re fear roared.
