What is a spinosaurus used for? spinosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
By far The most usefull dino on the Island map. Tame a pair of 100+ lvl, breed 4 of them, level them up a bit ( 10k hp, 1k meele, and 4k oxigen ) and you can rule the island above and bellow the wather. They are faster than a rex, spend less stamina for running/fighting, and do not use stamina for swimming. Been farming artifact of the cunning ( underwater cave ) with ease, alfa squid of alfa mosa are down in under a minute. Great for farming black pearls, angler fish gel, cnidaria toxin. Nothing can touch them on land eather. What else do one need?
While I don't play PvP, I think having a Rex squad with these mixed in could be powerful, with the Rex having superior health and damage, while the Spinos have the dps. Again, I only play PvE, so try on an unofficial boosted server first before using up all those resources for taming and sadlling Spinos.
I won't say they are better than Rex, but they are... On four legs it's fast and on two is strong but overall it looks awsm take more space to stay(size) than Rex specially when it comes to breeding but I love them.They have no turning radius issue when in 2 legs but they can only stand in 2 legs when you ride them and on land. Buff last 30s enough to kill alfha Rex of same level.
Even though they are close to rivaling the Rex, they are harder to tame for new players in the sense of keeping it knocked out, the Rex stays out a lot longer, as for usefulness the spino does get a water buff which is amazing but it would be useless in most boss arenas because they don’t have any type of water, the Rex also comes with the ability to equip it with a tek saddle which will just shred bases if you have it unlocked, to achieve a top level spino you’ll need kibble, the kibble is made from Rex eggs also, overall the spino is an amazing Dino, just not as useful as the Rex in terms of long term survival.
