I'm new to Ark so what I say isn't that important but if you get like 20 of these guys and tame em' after some leveling they can be an effective army. (Mobile)
Fists can easily knock a Dilo out. There spit can help you hunt or defend you from other survivors. In groups of 3 or more they are dangerous.
How to build A Dilophosaur Spit turret/ Sentinel Tower
What you will need: Rocks/ heavy surplus material, meat, Wooden structures or higher, Wood ramp, wood ladder, one dilophosaur
1. Put down a foundation for your tower
OR
Begin building on a completed structure
2. Set up your first floor and build the walls and roof of the second(you will want a second foundation for the first option)
3. Set up your ladders
4. Place down your ramp
5. Set your dilo to its lowest following range and set it to follow you
6. Lead it up onto the second floor
7. Destroy and replace the ramp to the tower
8. Lead the dilo onto the tower
9. Tell the dilo to stop
10. Put the heavy material into its inventory with a mixture of meat to keep its health up
11. Change its behavior to agressive to medium/high range
You now have a tower that can spit poison or alert you of creatures getting close. If you have guard creatures, like pachyderms or some reptiles, they will be alerted and eliminate the threat.
Up this if you found this a helpful tutorial
Put a bunch of stone on them and put them on your roof on aggressive and you have a spit turret
These have some properties that made them great as a first tame:
1. They are EVERYWHERE - you can get yourself a couple of these and no dino will be a match to you, except Theri, that thing will wreck all of you, recommend getting at least 10 to take it out.
2. They are easy to tame - if yours are being slaughtered, they can at least buy you time to run away and you can recruit some new ones right away.
3. They spit blinding poison - I think the poison affect all dino, even the big one, so not only it will weaken your enemy and make it more vulnerable, but in case they are not winning, you still have time to run away.
A good first defensive game. Their acid attack slows all dinosaurs and can be a lifesaver early to mid game.
Alone not very affective but I once had a group of 7 and they took out a carno with easy as well as other aggressive creatures
