Tips & Strategies
Listen very carefully to what I'm about to say. These have a huge damage reduction on their head--about 50%. The application for this is twofold: first, never pump tranqs into their head, it will take about 50% more. When taming, get above and shoot for the back. Second, because the player is protected by their head while riding, they are actually quite good for mid level raiding. You can hide behind it while riding on top, either shooting rockets or dropping c4 (it's like a built in riot shield). Furthermore, they can tank auto turrets as well if not better than turtles simply because auto turrets always hit their damage reduction area! In short, if you are using turtles, you might want to consider a high level trike as an alternative.
More Triceratops Utility Tips
Utility Roles for Trike:
1. Tank. When faced with head on damage, they have a damage reduction. Be sure to pair with mate for extra damage resistance (level Health).
2. Short Range Scout. The Trike is not very fast, but again, due to the damage resistance it has (and it's just general beefiness), it can serve as a good scout for early game. Much better than the Para in that regard (level Health, Stam, and Movement Speed).
3. Harvester. This boi can collect quite a decent amount of wood and fiber, much more than you can by hand. Use with Charge attack for extra resources! (level Weight and Stamina).
4. Defender. Use him to defend your base and smaller tames. Really the only early game threat a Trike can't handle are alphas and the occasional Theri. But trust me, I've seen one of these things face down a Sarco and live (level Health and Melee Damage)
My name is ShinyChimchar01 and if you like these tips, please up (next tip will be on Raptor)
With the new TLC, it has OUTSTANDING thatch collecting ( 1000 in 4 trees with a max charge. )
For the guy who said it gets fiber no it gets tons of berry thatch and a little wood but sadly no fiber. Get a gigantopithecus or therizino for that.
Δ°f you Give level to health and damage you can easily kill carnos baryonx etc. And if your trike is high level you can even beat spinos also it gathers berries very well
If you ever catch these guys in the wild and wonder why their heads are glowing red, you should probably run because thereβs a Rex/Spino in the area.
If the triceratops head is glowing that means there is a large predator nearby
I can not stress enough to my friends how useful the trike is. Early game it makes a great pack animal. Late game in groups of three or four it can be used as a decent battle mount. Taming a trike early on can be a great way to start a large base and keep you well fed with berries.
A lvl 20 trike can kill anything when your on the saddle if your not riding it then a lvl 1 raptor will be able to kill it put a saddle go to an alpha or rex spino and the trike will be able to obliterate it lvl melee and health to get the most powerful trike my trike tri horn can kill megs underwater I donβt whatβs going on but trikes are underrated
A trike is a good mid beginner Dino just have tranqs and stand on a big rock this Dino is very useful even when your far in the game they can kill the Therizinosaurus and a Rex and spino because of there push they do when they hit you and it can stun a Dino with its ultimate but uses all energy hope it was helpful.
So this is all that I know about uses of trikes
1: they are good for protection even if wild and could be in groups of 3
2: they have red heads if there's a spino/rex/giga so run
3: you can spam attack so it can take on rexes
4: very tanky if you pump health into it
5: easy tame so you can always get one even if you noob
6: can give horn thingy so you can make saddles
7: can swim fast in water (out run's megs)
8: has a stun attack so you can hit and run
Now for weakness:
1: raptors can dis mount you
2: can't kill spinos
3: slow
4: not that useful in late game
