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.
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. When you are done, go and press on your screen twice on either left or ritght side. And you pteranodon can now do a barrel roll! Disclaimer:wastes stamina alot so be careful. Like so newbies see this!
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~~
My Pteranodon, Shan. Absolute legend. True trooper. Top dog. Killed level 139 Spino on his own. Only level 92. Killed 20 Therizinos. 5 Carnos, 19 Direbears. 31 Raptors, 2 griffins and one Argentavis including a Megalodon that poked its tail up. Can fly from East to west without landing for stamina once. Wiped out a whole crew of boas with 5 barrel rolls. Rescued my Dilophosaurs more than twice. Very useful Pteranodon.
