Tips & Strategies

This guy is extremely good for titan taming I breed high level diplos level up nothing but health give them saddles and make them attack the titan. Since the diplos donโt do damage they distract the titan and make you able to destroy the corruption spot without difficulties this does not work with desert or king titan but the forest and ice titan yes

Should have special saddle with spiked tail and head armor and when they attack it does knockback and damage up Iโd you think this good isea
Just use them for Rex XP because they just knock you back with weak-ish damage
These things are health beasts I got 2 rexes 1 spino from him
Everyone saying the Diplo needs a tail whip attack and platform saddle, seriously if you want that get a bronto, the Diplo has its purpose and so does the bronto, making one into the other makes one redundant and totally useless. Brontos are attackers and portable bases, diplos are a hybrid of speed and capacity, no one would complain about a gallimimus that can carry eleven people and still have space to spare for three tonnes of cargo, but they do complain about a Diplo which is essentially that in terms of functionality.
Best easy prime meat source when taming. Defenseless massive walking meat pile
Not as useless as you might think! A high-level spino was terrorizing a nearby river. I took my diplo (Dylan) and while the spino was focused on killing Dylan, I was using my crossbow and rifle to do damage to it. Spino ended up dead, while Dylan was at 2000 out of 3000 health, and I was not injured at all.
Love u Dylan
This bad boi is useful on cliffs cuz you can push danger off just like my diplo a random guy with a giga started raiding us but they failed as they were pushed by my diplo the giga died with the rider lol ๐๐๐
Well their saddle holds 11 people so if u were to give 11 noobs assault rifles with 1000 ammo each you might just have the ultimate killing machine. probably not the best idea.
They are very useful, they can carry I think 10 people at once (not sure about the number). You do need metal and 800 hide though. People on the chairs not controlling the Dino can shoot things below.
They are fast, have good knock back, and have good health pool. I think itโs a good mid-game tame.
These are INCREDIBLY useful tames to have in mobile, and hereโs why:
In Raids; In mobile, we donโt have cryopods. Due to this, turret soaking becomes a problem, in that itโs difficult and takes time to get all tames you need to soak to the enemy base. These guys are very fast, very easy to tame, and are tanky health-sinks even at low levels; making them the PERFECT soakers in mobile. need more? Go get some balm and mejoberries, and youโve got your replacement in under 12 minutes.
Used as a construction tool, theyโre the same size as a bronto, meaning you can easily build tall structures & tree platform bases using his sheer height. He has a lot of weight as well, meaning if you have an enormous amount of metal walls/pillars/ what have you, he can hold it for you.
Used for transportation, the same is true; he has SO MUCH WEIGHT! And heโs very fast, with 10 seats in his saddle. If you need to move base, heโs your man.
Thatโs my Ted talk, up for noobs to see.
