Tips & Strategies

According to the wiki the base attack of a para is 12... To the person who said u can take on a Rex with your melee 1000% parasaur, think again since ur damage each hit would only be 120...take into account that to get 1000% melee from, say 100%, I think u would have a parasaur of at least lv 300 or so. And that's if u don't distribute too many points on other stats. In which case u would probably face a lv 100- 300 Rex, quite strong enough to kill ur parasaur it in a fair fight
(Not sure since my best parasaur was a 360% lv167 parasaur, And It never felt suicidal enough to whistle attack on a Rex with it.)
Of course if you are talking about mounting you parasaur And keeping it behind the rex, utilizing it's wide turn radius, then sure. Yeah, since A lv10 parasaur leveled entirely in stamina could eventually win that fight, given time.
More Parasaur Utility Tips
Utility Roles for Parasaur:
1. Long Range Scout. Paras have naturally high stamina, so they can cover distance without needing to rest. Plus their turret mode gives you alerts for nearby enemies (level Movement Speed to ensure you can outrun any threats you come across...RIP my very first Para)
2. Pack Mule. Paras have very high weight for the early game. Even low level Paras can carry a lot of stuff. Just jump on it's back when you're overencumbered and it will take care of the rest. (level weight to make sure your mount doesn't get overencumbered as well)
3. Turret. As mentioned, Paras have an in-built turret mode to root out enemies. It has a pretty long range too so if your out exploring it can come in handy. (level Health and Melee Damage in case your Para gets jumped)
4. Berry Harvester. By far the easiest way to get berries is to use a Para. Need Narcoberries to make Narcotics? Use a Para! Need Mejoberries for tames? Use a Para! (level weight to carry as much berries as you can!)
