Tips & Strategies

Cool scenario (but this time it’s defense)
Setting: tribes mobile titano base, current position: plains, enemy attacking with allos, yuty, daedon, and quetz dropships with dodo bombs and other fliers. Amount unknown
Base: on titano plat saddle (6 tek auto turrets on top, base level one: armory. Level 2: electrical stuff. Level 3: storage)
Creature 1: Velonasaur (12 positioned on top in turret mode, 8 others total positioned on balconies around base, also on turret mode. 4 others loaded into quetz dropship.)
Creature 2: rock drake (4 clinging invisibly to the sides of the base, tek saddles equipt, ready for takeoff on a moments notice.)
Creature 3: tropeoganthus (4 total equipped on runway on top of the base, 2 with tek grenades, 2 with other grenades of choice.)
I don’t have enough characters left for this so I will make the scenario starting with {first defense scenario}
More Velonasaur Utility Tips
Their ranged attack is bonkers, I went from worrying about every nearby predator, to gunning down everything I don't like.
They burn through Stam fast in turret mode, but they can run forever.
We won't know for certain if their melee damage increases their needle damage until the dev kit releases, or until someone shows conclusive video proof.
Tame one of these and have a blast.
Once You get a group of these You can put them on a Quetz platform saddle, level up stamina, fill their inventory with raw meat so they never run out of stamina, then set them to turret mode. (Also don’t forget to allow AI special attacks)
Congratulations, You now have a Quetz gunship that runs on raw meat.
