Tips & Strategies
Pteranodon are the kings of the island sky, while sure an argent might have better utility, it doesn’t stand a chance against a pteranodon. Also to trap an argent in a birdcage for taming, a pteranodon is basically required.
People say pteranodon have horrible stamina, but a high level ptera can cross the island no problem. Mine’s only about 120 (103 when I tamed it, no points put in stamina) and my route from the rock island (where I have my starter base) to my volcano birdcage consists of one pitstop ontop of the redwood mountain, which I only do incase something bad is on the volcano and I need to stay airborne for awhile, I don’t make that stop on the return trip. And yes I do hold shift during that flight.
On scorched earth they can, with proper spamming of C, outrun wyverns (not that they need to, because they’re chad enough to take one on if it’s low level)
11/10 best dino in the game.
P.S. In pvp they can grab riders off their fliers.

If you play on mobile and want to do the roll then go to settings left or right multi tap and chose alt attack 2 !!!
NOW FOR THE MAIN PART--- THESE THINGS CAN KILL GIGAS the normal roll does decent damage but if you roll and attack a dino while watching the dino through spyglass you can deal tons of damage (this works in mobile idk about other platforms) i killed tons of rexes,brontos,allos..etc. using this trick
Δ IF THIS HELPS~~
Guys I found out something incredibly COOL! I play mobile so this might not work on PC but I found out how to kill stuff really easily. Whenever I use my spyglass and do a barrel roll and hit the creature it does a lot of damage! I have even killed brontos, rexes, spinosaurus, and more in just one or two hits! Just practice your aiming though, cuz it’s sometimes a bit hard to aim, especially if the creature is kind of small. Plz tap the arrow pointing to the sky if this helped.
