Utility Tips

What is a spinosaurus used for? spinosaurus utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
Spino are a very deadly mount which they can switch between to mode: traveling mode(speed ++, attack speed - -)
And combat mode(attack speed ++,speed- -) and if they got hydration buff(active when you ride your spino and touch water) they will move even faster, attack much stronger but without hydration buff, they will move slower and deal less damage
Taming is difficult without a mount due to their speed when fleeing
I once tried to test my spino(lv 300+) and my rex(lv 400+) to see how much damage they deal, te result is
My spino deal 400+ damage per attack with hydration buff to non amored creature
My rex deal 700+ damage per attack to non amored creature
Because spino when in combat mode, it will attack twice as quick as rexes which made it better than rexes(ONLY WHEN HYDRATION BUFF IS ON)
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.
Lol how do people think this better than Rex with no reason?
1. Rex is much more tanky
2. Rex actually has kind of more stamina than Spino
3. Rex would beat Spino in a mounted fight (People who match them probably rode the Spino and took off the saddle of the Rex, also who fights with A.I.)
4. Much better for boss fights because it’s versatility for fighting
5. Doesn’t have to spend ALL of the time in rivers so all terrain
6. Rex has a roar which stuns creatures and makes them poop
7. Speed is actually decent and damage is higher per hit
Stop blasting untrue facts, the Spino is more overrated
