dinosaur

s were some of the most powerful constructs ever introduced into the game, while other factions such as the Mammal Blame and the Arthropod Guild have. It creates some pretty impressive builds in lands where nothing has yet surpassed the sheer power of the reptilian builds. Although their enormous size is perhaps the most notable trait, there was also great variety in the abilities and combat strategies that these builds employed. and today I think it's finally time to post my dinosaur

list

, obviously there are a ton of dinosaurs built so there's no way I can cover them all, but I'll definitely try to hit the important ones.

It is worth noting that the reign of the dinosaur. The events lasted more than twice as long as the reign of the mammalian faction that supplanted them and thus, during this enormous period of time, the dinosaur maidens basically tried every strategy imaginable and that is why there are so many configurations of which talk, but as always, we. We'll start from the bottom of the

tier

list

and work our way up from there to the bottom, we have dry asaurus and Camptosaurus, two very similar herbivorous builds with an interesting stat distribution. Dinosaurs are known for their immense strength, but none of these buildings have any type.

For offensive capabilities, however, they have a modest but below-average defensive range, decent mobility, and above-average intelligence for a dinosaur. These builds took advantage of how powerful the other herbivore builds were by sticking with the bulkiest ones and relying on them to defend the herd. They also took advantage of the fact that they were faster than other herbivores even though their mobility was less than that of most predators. Their greater intelligence gave them more advanced perception, allowing them to function as lookouts for the pack, but even so these spikes were helpless and easy on their own. targets for predators, if they were ever caught helpless, their lack of self-sufficiency puts them at level F in my opinion.

I think they realize this because later this faction started putting additional armor on their heads or spikes on their thumbs, which gave them much better options for dealing with aggressive players, in fact we have two carnivore builds here, the first is Coelophysis. Coelophysis was one of the first dinosaur builds the developers introduced, and like all early dinosaurs, he really wasn't anywhere near the power level of those. which would be added to the game later in the Jurassic and Cretaceous expansions, the only reason it became such a popular and dominant build was because it starved and dehydrated more slowly than its non-dinosaur rivals, and this doesn't mean say not to do it. struggled to succeed - he absolutely did and often had to resort to team killing just to overcome betrayal, he sort of dominated the early Dino meta by default so I'm not going to read him above the level D.

In fact, here we have Spinosaurus Spinosaurus. is a unique bill that heavily looks at fishing skills and aquatic adaptations, including the rare electroreception ability that helped catch fish players even when in stealth mode. This is great for that specific application, but the main Spinosaurus were actually not completely aquatic, they could not breathe underwater and still had to spend a lot of their game dealing with the challenges of being a land build and unfortunately their stats and abilities left a lot to be desired in terms of competing with the ground meta at the time because they had spent so many evolution points adapting a build to be able to fish they would secure a unique niche at the cost of being able to hold their own in general combat.

Most other main and external carnivores feed them to most Mane herbivores and leave them. in an awkward position, if they had more time they could have gained enough experience to specify a completely aquatic build, but unfortunately the developers decided to increase the temperature of the outside world, raising sea levels but drying up the rivers, leaving the player base of Spinosaurus. without a niche, the lesson here is that if you ever find yourself immersed in an amphibian playstyle, you might want to reconsider how you're spending your evolution points in the end - in fact, here we have hadrosaurs now.

I do not have much to say. about these builds, in general their main game plan is pretty saucer, see the predator coming and running away, this is quite similar to the dry source in Camptosaurus style of play that I mentioned in ft R, but instead of relying on the most powerful herbivores to defend them had the HP. They needed to shrug off a hit or two and actually had the mobility to escape, assuming they saw the attack coming generally this build was easy enough to play but also had a low skill ceiling as they had no skills of real combat, in general, there is a reason why players consider hadrosaurs to be more forgettable among the dinosaurs in CT, we have two of the most famous Jurassic constructions.

The first is the stegasaurus. Taking a quick look at the Stegosaurus stats, it's clear that this build was extreme on many fronts and had one of the lowest. intelligence levels of any dinosaur and he also didn't have much in terms of mobility, however, he had some pretty incredible combat stats and powerful abilities to back it up, particularly his backplates and Tagum Iser, his backplates significantly reduced the chances of an attacker. scoring a critical hit against them as it is much harder to bite a Stegosaurus as a weak point when there are plates on the way their back plates can also be washed with blood to grant a huge intimidation buff that works great against predators. and herbivores like Mane.

Oh lord, it's one of the most unique weapons of any dinosaur built. The thagomizer has one of the highest fatal hit chances of any weapon in the game. Often causes enough damage with a single shot. Most players because it is a spike in the tail, this attack has a lot. range, making approaching a defending Stegosaurus player extremely difficult, however the strategy was by no means perfect, his low mobility made it impossible to flee from battle, so if an enemy did not suffer his defenses , Stegosaurus Mane would be out of options and since their tails were not long. enough to cover an attack from the front that was often their downfall, luckily their base game plan was relatively simple so their low intelligence didn't hinder them too much.

Also, in the seats here we have every archenemy of Stegosaurus Mane, Allosaurus, Allosaurus's build was unique in that it actually invested very little in the bite attack, it only had the bite force of a lion, instead, Allosaurus dealt damage by using its head as a battle axe, swinging its open jaw towards an enemy player, this caused great damage, but was nowhere near devastating in power. Of some of the top

tier

dinosaur combat moves, it had the highest top speed of any build during its time, but had relatively low stamina, meaning it could only run for a short time, also similar to Lions. today, while an Allosaurus tended to do so.

Take on the strongest herbivore players of their time in packs that could defeat almost anything. Overall, a solid mid-tier whose strategies were expanded and refined with later dinosaur builds. At level B, we have some builds that did exactly the opposite. what Allosaurus did was they put a lot of evolution points into a single combat tactic, first the build that Specht in the cloth skill tree gave him the longest claws ever in the game therizinosaurus therizinosaurus were excellent at 1 on 1 combat because its claws give it incredible range and damage, perfect for cutting off the heads of the carnival remains that were trying to bite them.

His slashing attack was the strongest the game had ever seen. In fact, they put so many points into the cloth skill tree that they didn't have any left for teeth. or mobility and were actually forced to switch teams from the Carver side to the Herbivore side, making them the only structure of the Theropod faction that chose not to be a predator. This actually worked out very well for them because they no longer had to compete with the other top predators for XP and they were also taller than most of the herbivorous players normally seen in forest biomes.

Sure they lacked intelligence and mobility and also couldn't gain any experience from the enemies they defeated with their claws, but overall they had a surprisingly effective strategy, not a perfect defense, as they were definitely still vulnerable to coordinated assault, definitely a superior structure. to the average at the opposite end of the spectrum from Allosaurus and therizinosaurus, both of which had weak or no bicycle damage. carnival who put all his evolution points to maximize the bite attack the Tyrannosaurus Rex T-rex had the most powerful bite attack in the history of the game capable of eliminating any player is able to bite in a single hit this also gives him the ability to crush bones allowing him to access the XP rich marrow inside, similar to what hyenas do in the current meta t-rex, was a hybrid between a predator and scavenger build, he didn't have the greatest block to defeating the heavily armored herbivores of the Cretaceous. expansion, but he could certainly defeat them if the t-rex players worked as a group, and as a scavenger, his enormous size gave him the ability to steal kills from other carnivorous players who had no hope of surviving his devastating bite if they got in his way. path.

However, T-Rex had to sacrifice all of his other offensive strength to maximize the damage from his bite. His arms were so short that his claw technology had a pathetic reach, making them useless for both holding prey and fighting rivals for territory, which he wasn't either. t particularly fast outside of short bursts of speed, so if players saw him coming, which wasn't that difficult due to his enormous size, they wouldn't have to work hard to avoid him even with team strategies, he was almost unstoppable and always you had the option to resort to scavenging, so it was definitely a solid high level.

The last top tier build I want to talk about is Triceratops in terms of one way defense, no build has ever come close to Triceratops, its horns can deal massive damage in a single hit, even two giant Carver built like a T-Rex, looking at its stats, it's pretty clear that going toe to toe with this thing would end badly, however, one thing I've noticed is that players nowadays don't remember its main drawback, the low intelligence of this thing. . It was pretty close to a modern possum in terms of intellectual ability and, as many of you should know from my Australia video, marsupials are some of the least intelligent mammals that people assume Triceratops behaved similarly to an elephant. modern, since both are approximately the same size. and carried powerful frontal weapons;

However, the herd behavior that makes elephants so untouchable to predators was absent in the Triceratops structure, as they were mostly solitary and this was due to their low intelligence stat, making them highly vulnerable. to be attacked from behind or behind. from multiple angles at once, Triceratops has low intelligence and it also means that it was easily tricked into ambushes set by prime carnivores, which almost always meant game over for the Triceratops, as powerful as this build is and it is powerful, you do not understand me. wrong, I think it's definitely not a top tier dinosaur and it reaches level V.

Well, in the 8th year we have the dinosaurs that were a little smarter in terms of how they invested their evolution points. First, we have a dromaeosaur, the dinosaur faction that includes builds like velociraptor Deinonychus and Utahraptor, these players made an interesting decision by giving up the gigantism ability that made dinosaurs so dominant in the first place and trying their hand at a style of more evasive game, sacrificing both their HP and defense stats to improve their mobility and DPS as best they could, inIn particular, they hoped to polish a single claw on each foot, which had two important functions: the first was that it could cause massive cutting and stabbing type damage and the second was that it gave them the ability to snag.

For players targeted using the general attack attack, this build had much higher damage than normal for a build of that size and could easily defeat players in a much higher weight class, especially if they attacked in a group, which they often did. They had the ability. to easily enter and exit their opponent's attack range, allowing them to bait and dodge attacks, the main drawback of this build was that if you are never careless, they can easily take scarab damage with a single hit, but overall this faction was a they were more successful at the time and easily eight here also at a level 80 we have Carcharodontosaurus but with a very similar build to level maximize base damage.

Carcharodontosaurus spent its evolution points pecking advanced serrated teeth. This gave its bite attack a higher chance of costing the intense bleeding status effect which would consume the target's HP and stamina over time. This was more cost effective than pure bite force. and allowed them to retain enough evolution points to specify claws, giving them a more well-rounded combat style that could still deal lethal damage with a single bite. This strategy is similar to those seen employed by the current Carcharodontosaurus meta Komodo Dragon player base. It was also one of the tankiest carnivore builds and could shrug off a hit or two even from builds that would normally devastate anything they took a hit on.

This made them extremely good at PvP against the other carnivore builds at the time, making them an easy high-level candidate for the next build you have. 8 Years is Ankylosaurus, perhaps the best tank build to ever exist in the game. This build essentially took the second source of strategy and took it to the most extreme extreme possible instead of back plates to intimidate ankylosaurus players. armor and instead of tail spikes they opted for a club, their armor was so impenetrable that it made The attacks of even the strongest carnivore, Mane, were quite ridiculous, while his club did not have a high critical chance, like the tail spikes, it did deal massive damage that could break bone capable of paralyzing any player who If he was unlucky enough to receive a direct hit and Kaila's source was almost invincible, except that he had one glaring flaw despite all his defense and power, he was completely helpless if a player managed to turn him around for that reason.

I can't put him in the top tier because a good top tier won't have a safe counterattack for an era. Here we have Troodon, the Troodon build was the only dinosaur build whose core strategy was based on the intelligence stat that other dinosaurs used as a team. strategies or had advanced perception abilities, which requires some use of intelligence, but Troodon was the only one who specifically designed his structure so that his brain was his best weapon. Troodon had to sacrifice a lot to gain this high intelligence that requires a lot of calories to maintain, so getting the kills needed to sustain both a large size and a large brain was impossible, meaning they had to give up gigantism as a trait, so that instead of powerful dagger-like claws, Troodon opted for smaller but opposable claws that could be used to pick up objects, this severely reduced its potential in combat, but also gave it many options in terms of manipulating its environment, for example setting traps to catch players who might otherwise evade them, it is quite possible that if non-avian dinosaurs did not exist. banned in a meteorite impact balance patch, Troodon players would have eventually leveled up his intelligence enough to become higher human-like levels, but even though he was beginning to gain the power to dominate his environment, he still He had no way to combat the other higher levels apart. from just running away, so it definitely wasn't a level on a level, we have the most powerful dinosaur faction of all the sauropods.

Sauropods had all the tools they needed to counter all other dinosaur constructs. They had the maximum HP stat possible for a ground build and Because they often used the pack strategy, this meant that if a sauropod player was caught by surprise and was under attack by several carnivorous players, they could usually take enough hits to so that his teammates had time to rescue him and, of all the dinosaurs, the sauropods also had the largest attack range, their whip-like tails may not have had the same damage per hit as the Stegosaurus or Ankylosaurus, but they were still quite powerful and capable of knocking down enemies while out of range of a counterattack and, if they got too close, a sauropod parrying attack was literally the most devastating move in the game, failing to target down and causing lethal damage.

Lastly, their extreme height gave them a huge advantage in avoiding stealth attacks, as they could see much further than other players in terms of ground superiority. They truly were the most powerful dinosaurs of all time. It's unfortunate that the developers decided to ban dinosaurs during the KT balance patch, but unfortunately the meta was getting stale, so I understand why I hope you enjoyed this look back at the Mesozoic meta if you like watching videos. There are a lot of great documentaries about dinosaurs that I can recommend, for example if you are curious about Troodon and why it was the most intelligent dinosaur of all time.

I have to recommend Leaps in Evolution, a documentary that details the evolution of the brain and intelligence, but if you just want a really fun dinosaur story, one of my personal favorites is The Ballad of big owl, a documentary that follows the story of Life of a single Allosaurus as it learns to hunt and survive in the Jurassic.
