What is a triceratops used for? triceratops battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
One of the best games for early gameplay. While they are very slow, they have very good defenses on the front. Over time, you can end up taking on therizinosaurs with them! You can time their head swings to take the least amount of damage possible, and if you do get hit, (usually from the front) the damage taken is reduced! Health, melee, stamina, and movement speed I would prioritize since weight is already quite high. Their main attack can hit from multiple sides, making it great when predators try to attack from the side.
People who say trikes are slow? .Not really they arent Dont run around normally use its special Attak aka Dash to move Thats hella fast and in case u see someone chasing u, Just run into them 🤣 they will get slow down buff then u can fleeeeeee , at same time they also can knock back, Throw ur enemy down The cliff -_- , These guys are best, u just need know how to use them ;)

Level 75 trike can take out that Alpha raptor stalking your base. Just keep knocking it back and time your attack to keep knocking back the raptor so that it hardly damages your trike. Don't let raptor get the side of the trike though, if it does just keep hitting with trike while turning in the direction of the raptor until its front of you again.
I suggest (this is from personal experience) that in the early game in the southern areas use a slingshot and a big rock to cheese the fight and tame it, then level up the trike only in HP, then go to the shallow flatlands neer the green monument thing and Kill every carnivore,dangerous creature,or anything that gives high tier loot (you don’t need to be high leveled 500+ Hp and you can take out thing even as powerful as a rex).
This thing is AMAZING! If you have one, you can gather a TON of keratin. All you have to do is first find one of those big turtles. Then, just use the normal fling attack on it whenever it gets close to you. If you hit it fast enough, your trike won’t take any damage at all. They are also great at gathering berries and thatch!
