What is a pteranodon used for? pteranodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It's fun to do a barrel roll with them but be careful! It costs alot of stamina and there's a chance you might knock your Pteranadon out midair, causing you to dismount and both of you crashing to the ground below. If you're alive, you need only to wait for him/her to wake up or feed them stimberrys. Always keep an eye on your stamina bar and find safe spots to land and catch it's breath before taking flight again. :D
Very effective as a fighter when you aren’t high enough lvl to get the saddle and can carry a little stuff for when your busy putting your upgrades into more useful things like speed, because we all know speed is essential to any escape maneuver, or jumping off cliffs, the AI doesn’t like that.
Mostly just a starter flier, but still useful at higher lvls. They are fast and, with enough health and damage, can be good fighters with their barrel rolling(which also harvests from your kills great). My kibble tamed at lvl 150 had 360% damage when I got it so it can take down almost anything with enough barrel rolls and patience. Just watch their stamina
Hands down one of my favorite dinos. As a travel mount its best to lvl speed and stamina mostly speed. As a battle mount lvl health melee and stamina. A pair of high lvl (170+) freshly tamed make for great mates. When they hit 200 breed and continue. U will have the most vicious battle mount with incredible speed. Mine is at roughly 12,300 health 3000 stam 900 weight and 560% melee and 300%speed lvl 267 and still upgrading.
