What is a hyaenodon used for? hyaenodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Hands down one of if not the best hunting dog in ark. Cheap to armor, pack bonus, heals when harvesting corpses, and most importantly they are treated as man sized for Dino colishion so even raptors don’t get stuck on them. High lvl pack can down deathworms and alpha Rex BUT require a anchor or the Rex will spin and do massive trample damage.
I'm surprised more people haven't tested these little guys. Last time I played was in 2018 and at that time I could take 8 breed doggies with a yuti and I could take out gigas with them.. the meat pack I had was only journeyman too.. never got around to trying them on bosses. Underestimated tame.
I wasn't too interested in these, until I tamed my dog squad that is! Now Growl, Sniff, Cackle, Savage and my Direwolf, Alpha are the deadliest pack on the island! We've taken down a therizino without a single death! I haven't yet tested them against any carnivores except dilos but they can be brilliant fully recommend them! My pack of four hyaenodons and my Direwolf mount easily fight dangerous creatures so a pack of four seems quite good. And if bred a bit they could be deadly! One of the best tames ever(only behind the bloodstalker and rock drake)🐕🐩🐶😈
