Utility Tips

What is a spinosaurus used for? spinosaurus utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Here is the truth about the Spino no one is talking about for some reason. First, the bad: It is VERY slow on land. Don’t bother wasting points on movement. It will never have as much health as a Rex. While it is amphibious, it must come up for air occasionally. Keep an eye on his oxygen marker.
The good: It only has one speed while swimming.., FAST. Don’t bother double clicking to swim faster. He always sprints in water. His oxygen lasts an eternity underwater. Increase points into his oxygen an you will make his already impressive swimming speed even faster and allow him to stay underwater for days. His stamina drain is very slow. His bite is VERY fast, makes for some high DPS. They can swim BACKWARDS, which makes underwater fights SO much easier.
Bottom line, don’t try to make it a land fighter, that role is well taken by the Rex. I put points into melee, oxygen and Health and make it an underwater absolute beast.
STOP saying spoons suck you stupid idiots. They are the third best dinosaur in aberration only outclassed by the rock drake and reaper queen, they can be used to harvest biotoxin due to their large aoe, they are relatively strong and attack very fast unlike the rock drake and reaper, and they lose torpor very fast
Can be used as a midgame tame for Aberration that will get you through most of the game. Has both a bipedal and quadrupedal stance. Bipedal increases damage, allows you to attack while running, but, is slower. Quadrupedal allows your to sprint faster and, harvest more meat. Once touching water, the Spino gets a "Hydrated" buff that increases movement speed, stamina, and, buffs damage. This thing can tank damage and dish it out and is easy to tame, provided you have the speed.
