What is a rex used for? rex battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Guys!!!! Don’t compare the Rex and the Spino! Both are good at what they are. Spino is a glass cannon and gets a major buff in water. It has high speed, damage, range and knockback. Use this against small enemies to medium-large enemies to ultra decimate them! Even more when in water!!! It’s damage is what carries it. Rex is a tank that is used against bigger enemies. It has ultra health, high damage (but less than Spino), moderate speed, moderate range and has a ability to stun creatures and make them defecate! Use against small enemies for major advantage, as well as big enemies too! It does good at both tanking and damage, so it’s rounded up unlike the Spino. When comparing each other, none are better than the other. They are both very good at what they do!
In my opinion, by far the best creature for certain boss fights. Good for the brrodmother, however megatheriums are better. It destroys the megapithecus. The only island boss I would not recommend it strongly is the dragon. For the dragon you want to use therizinos due to the reduced fire damage and use of veggie cakes. It does well against the overseer too.
The Rex good at:
-Tank
-Prime meat Collector
-causing other low level dino to poop when roar (only heard, not seen it with my very eye yet)
-wipeing dino life
But Rex bad at:
-Small attack radius which mean other creature can hit it from the side or back without you hitting them
-have hard time trying to turn around
-Can swim but lose oxygen while doing it
That all i know for know
Because rexes are slow, you can keep up with it and knock it out when it fleeing so they are easy to tame
Easiest way to find them is in snow biome on the island map, i found alot of them there
For everyone who wants to survive and thrive in the carnivore or Red woods forest, you should absolutely tame a Rex. The best creature you can have for land based raids is a rex. I tamed one who was very low level and killed three alfa allausours and their minus with 880 health lol. I level up 10 times and I then immediately went hunt down some dangerous dinos and conquer all thr swamp area. It was a glorious day of grind. All worth it.
