What is a dilophosaur used for? dilophosaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you tame like 20 Dilophosaurus then you can kill 3 trikes so fast you barely get to see them. These are not at all worthless and are great hunters (when tamed). They also give you great protection. My dilos, which are under lvl 50 killed a low level Spino! I would recommend lots of these early to middle game.
Training them alone won’t make them nearly strong enough to take on bigger threats, due to level restrictions (health only goes up by 7 maybe 14 per level, so on so fourth) So your best bet is to train two of these guys of opposite gender to equal capacity in the stats of your personal interest, breed until you have hatched two Dilophosaurs of opposite gender, and then repeat with the new ones. Rinse and repeat until you have one (or two if you want male and female) of the stats you desire. Use Lystrosauruses to speed up the training progress, so that way you don’t find yourself waiting an entire month before your Dilophosaurs are ready for breeding.
Easy way to keep players and Dinos out your base
1. Tame 5-10 dilos (or tame 2 and breed them)
2. If you don’t already have one build a spiked wall around your base. For new Players- this is the most common ways to keep Dinos, adjust how large an area you leave within your walls depending on how many Dinos you have.
3. Let your Dilos wander within your walls, this will give anything that gets in and tries to attack you/ your tames a little chance of survival as Dilos are strong in packs.
4. Enjoy your peaceful life.
P.S- the spiked wall should keep creatures out in easier regions, this helps where anything that may break, jump over or fly over your walls lives.
Bonus Tip- In easier areas build a 1x1 box and get a dilo on top, fill their inventory until they are encumbered and enjoy your turret. (Build outside your walls of course).
