Big thanks to the person who posted the comment about using the spyglass while rolling. I take back my earlier comment about not recommending it as a way to kill gigas. In the past two days, without any backup or imprint, Shadowbeak has become my most valued tame with his score of 1 giga, 1 alpha Rex, countless rexes, brontos and paracers and a titanosaur. (Yes, titanosaur, which was easier and more relaxing than the giga kill.) Boosting his level from 209 to 240. Far more impressive than the spinos or the one mosa I've been keeping. Seriously, with this feature the pteranodon is definitely the hardest hitter on the island, if not the other maps.

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

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.
