What is a spinosaurus used for? spinosaurus utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Spino is probably one of the best for Alpha killing. It’s very versatile in its movement, swimming fast and using the water buff to run fast. It can also hit fast and hard enough in the bipedal stance that it can knock back even alpha rexes. I’ve killed a lvl 280 alpha Rex without taking any damage by just spamming my mouse. Spino OP
Spinosaurus are excellent fishermen. They are like and all Terran vehicle. They can cover alot of open ground and a good bit of water. Not recommended for deep ocean exploits as jelly fish wil sting and stun them , they'll drown in the time it takes to wake up. They're good at clearing a path for a base and can carry alot like a T-Rex. Good at harvesting prime regular and fish meat and trophies for the obelisk.
Most players believe that the Spino was nerfed in ASA, which is true, but not completely.
Spinosaurus always had a higher DPS than its similarly sized friends, with or without the water buff. In ASA this has changed, regardless of the buff it will be substantially outclassed by Rex.
Most dinos had their primary attack DPS increased, becoming much stronger than their previous version.
It turns out that the Spino deals more damage with its secondary attack in the bipedal version, which was drastically nerfed.
In short, the crocodile snouts are even stronger, but since Therezino and Rex received the same DPS increase and have a higher primary attack, the Spinos were outclassed.
