Tips & Strategies
Not recommended against gigas. The spyglass barrel roll strategy (more info in the popular tips that were a great help to me btw) works well but with one fatal flaw: It's a TWO-WAY damage amplifier. Meaning the giga's attack, If it lands on you, deals much more damage than normal as well. Meaning one hit on a 1500 health ptera with journeyman saddle left my ptera with less than 500 health. So, yeah. Too much risk involved. Good for rexes and maybe alphas but not gigas. I would advise combing the allos strategy with the ptera roll. Let the allos bleed the gigs down first before going for the kill with the ptera. Also compensates for the annoying fact that if the giga dies to allo bleeding it might not give xp. Needs testing but i think it'll work.
More Pteranodon Utility Tips
Especially for newer players. Make sure you keep an eye on the stamina bar. You don't want it to run out while airborn. I've lost a bird or 5 to that alone.
How to do barrel roll on mobile: Go to settings and then go to controls then either go to left multi tap or right multi tap. Then select Reload/Alt attack2.

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
Ξ IF THIS HELPS~~
Donβt fly to high if it runs out of stamina you have 7 seconds to land or your pterdon will fall asleep and you will take massive damage
I didn't realize for a Looooooooooong time how useful the barrel roll is. Seriously, I've killed alpha rexes with it. Give it a shot!
Argy is rated higher for gathering prime but these things spin attack will get much more prime than an argy
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 itβs 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.
Don't say puh-tera-don it's ter-ana-don..
