What is a shadowmane used for? shadowmane battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Great for stealing eggs. Able to turn invisible and leap ungodly distances, these creatures are perfect for stealing things like wyvern eggs. You can just wander around in stealth mode, looking for a notch with an egg, and when you see one, you can leap up and immediately turn back to stealth. Leaping does make you visible, but there’s nothing stopping you from immediately turning invisible upon landing. Then, you can just hop off and steal the egg, quickly getting back on and turning invisible again. You can then, in stealth mode, just fall out of the little notch and walk out of the ravine. As long as your shadow mane has enough stamina, there is literally nothing stopping you.
Both extremely strong tames. They have a blink attack that once charged can jump between every target stunning them. As you attack they charge a special attack that once released is quite devastating. They're able to stealth. They can swim better than most sea creatures. They have a leap ability that can cover a lot of ground or help traverse vertically. And one of the coolest features is that they are a pack animal and recieve pack bonuses. The coolest feature is that when mate boosted the females gain the ability to stealth mostly everyone and thing within a close vicinity and the males have a roar that increases speed and recovers torpidity and stamina at an insane rate.
Fantastic mobile dinos. You can sneak up on creatures, leap great distances, and if you melee enough creatures until your bar goes purple, you can do a powerful melee that can one shot many dinos.
On top of that, it is a phenomenal swimmer, being able to take out megladons and many big water dinos with near ease.
Be careful as you can get knocked off it.
