ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Honestly I think the combat capabilities of the Pteranodon is underrated. On mobile these guys actually makes a double hit every time they attack, so even though their base damage is 15 (a bit lower than an Argy’s 18), they have much better DPS than argys. They are also much more nimble than argys. I’ve been to dead island many times before on my pteranodon (lvl 240) and have never been pulled off by a raptor, cuz whenever I see one of them is about to pounce I just press forward and I’m 50 yards outside of the raptor’s attack range. When I went there with my argy (also lvl 240) for the first time I immediately got yeeted off cuz the argy is too slow to get out of the way. I survived (barely) thanks to my full set ascendent flak or chitin armour. The pteranodon’s barrel roll attack is also very strong, cuz you do like 3 times the base damage to anything in your path and you speed up drastically so you can get out of the attack range of the baddies you’re fighting in a split second. I tamed the argy thinking it was gonna replace my pteranodon, now my argy’s only use is as a cargo plane.
One like = one respect for the pteranodon

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.
