Ark Insight! - Rock Drake V.S Wyvern!

[@Jamar_Blaze]

Drake can swim which wyvern can’t. They are both beast in their own right.

[@deepwaterdude8291]

傷齒龍147 Troodon147 I find the roar/shriek it makes when it uses it's midair charge attack fucking horrifying though

[@deepwaterdude8291]

傷齒龍147 Troodon147 Rockdrake when it uses the midair/on wall tackle move

[@deepwaterdude8291]

傷齒龍147 Troodon147 yeah, although the sound it makes when it pounces is kinda scary

[@deepwaterdude8291]

傷齒龍147 Troodon147 oh, I didn't know that. That kinda sucks, then again, if you pumped all it's stats in melee, i think it would be pretty good

[@deepwaterdude8291]

傷齒龍147 Troodon147 very important

[@Arkasis]

You forgot to mention that the rock drake has a tek saddle. So if the saddle was used, they wyvern would've been destroyed by it. And the drake can swim so it has an advantage in water. In my opinion, drakes are the superior mount.

[@ratsapple12]

傷齒龍147 Troodon147 with 17k health 2k Stam 600 Melee and a 90 asc saddle with my 100 imprint there's not much that can touch mine

[@spyonic4374]

Its Ratsapple How about a 289 lightning with 1200% melee 20k health and 2000 stam?

[@ratsapple12]

Spyonic Gaming well first of all that’s bullshit, “uh uh no but uh mine fell under da map and da dev gave me it back wit da same stats and level and 0 xp” they don’t do that anymore and even if you do have one spawned in you would need a super statted wyvern to rank against mine so that’s pretty weak

[@spyonic4374]

Its Ratsapple lol you're right my bad i typed wrong I meant 269 (190 lighting egg)

[@spyonic4374]

Well they serve their own purposes in their respective maps

[@comcap6987]

You didn't use the rock drake speed boost while gliding

[@Assassin_lucifar]

Biting Skull my thoughts exactly and it can be used as a attack.

[@maxpython2045]

Exept that would be unfair

[@St_bane1]

mega max it would be unfair to not utilize all of the Drake’s abilities

[@vatochachanidze2086]

@@St_bane1 he didnt utilize the ability of breath attack though which is defenatly the mane ability of the wywern.

[@ardyh8789]

It boils down to: the wyvern is for battle, while the rock drake is for travel.

Wyvern gets clapped by argys tho lmao

[@unluckyluchiano6092]

@@theobserver5372 not usually, people coming at you on a wyvern gonna use the breath attack and drain their stam. I literally just wait em out on the argy and pick em when they lose stam everytime. Best bet if you see a tamed argy and you on a wyvern, just dip right away or you're dead

[@unluckyluchiano6092]

@@lisandrorodriguez2344 not really, at least not now. Net gun bruh, just use it from the rock drake, net the argy, kill it and it's rider. Game over lol

[@Jmonkley]

You didnt want the wyvern to use its fire because the drake didnt have that ability? But u also wanted to see whod win in a fight? Seems to defeat the purpose by restricting one to make it “fair”

[@seanmace3362]

When he forgets to boost on the drake 😔

[@astraomega9213]

To get the drake to glide every time it needs to be in sprint mode

[@shubairazizi6375]

Cj can you make a video about griffin vs rock drake speed (flying)

[@Mildlyinconvenienced]

Yea it would be pretty good i honestly dont know which is faster

[@smurfpoppin4470]

When it comes to small tribes or solo players the rock drake is the better pick bc the mobility with invis is much more valuable but a big tribe could be stealthy as well being more deadly than a tribe of wyverns due to bolas and narc grenades.

[@tropic3368]

Depends on which map and what is the scenario because the fire wyvern can ignore saddles while the lightning can knock out the dinos if they didnt die first

[@fireswordchris5728]

you forgot the rock drake's abillity to basiclly leap at a surface or wall with very high speed while in midair and while climbing

[@tombstonesoda3007]

The rock drake can dash twards walls when gliding and can do it going up so the rock drake has the same amount of mobility as wyvern

[@Cptn_Plucky]

FYI for anyone reading this, hold E on your wyver or drake and go in its options. In those options u can put the use of there abilities on or off. Have fun

[@natewilkes1200]

Also rock drakes have a tek saddle and it was designed for caves.

[@sinjinrath9703]

Drakes might also be impervious to lava ???? Dunked one the other day and it survived.

[@Icyy6923]

Sinjin Rath, Nope. Mine was killed be lava.

[@lockdowndad7097]

Nice vid but a few points. Having each with a rider battle is a completely different senario. Drakes have the speed burst. Can go invisible. Have tek saddles. Can literally hang upside down under overhangs and im pretty sure you can fire from their backs. Drakes hands down everytime.

[@Cjthecheesedj]

Christopher Southall thanks for the input these videos are to test their stats against each other and I see what you mean in terms of the saddles and what not and I do agree with you that the drake would be able to take on the wyvern

[@alejandronero4368]

One lightning breath and no more drake

[@timothytrevino3772]

Alejandro Nero lol everyone is talking about the breath but if they didn't have it they would get there asses handed to them

[@alejandronero4368]

Timothy Trevino did you watch the video ? It didn't use his breath attack and still won, and they have it so why wouldn't they use it ?

[@fishycats8006]

I would say it depends on the situation,If it's exploring rock drake, but fighting (all)wyverns

[@damnsonwheredyoufindthis.3830]

Fishy Cats How is rock drake better for exploring when wyvern can see things higher above and travel quicker. I don't even bother bringing rock drakes to other maps besides aberration because I prefer wyverns in every way.

[@PlayusTheGreat]

Nah except poison

[@jasonferge3686]

Should have kept the saddle on the rock drake.

[@damnsonwheredyoufindthis.3830]

Jason Ferge Not a fair fight then is it? It's like having a boxing match and giving one of the guys a knight armor and other nothing. Wyvern would've probably still won I think. 25 armor given by primitive saddle is quite shit but could possibly make a difference but I doubt it.

[@damnsonwheredyoufindthis.3830]

@TraitorGG Can fly but their AI is so stupid that they use bite most of the time and for that they need to get close and personal For 1v1 fight with nobody on them should be natural so drake shouldn't even have a regular saddle to have the most accurate results. Person on a drake vs person on a wyvern should have a tek saddle because person on a wyvern would use ranged attack etc. But AI vs AI should be both in their natural form.

[@LeoTheYuty]

And let the wyvern use its breath. No one cares about being fair. We want to know which one is better.

[@jimmyvarner7778]

You forgot about the rock drakes ground pound and to to move from surfice/cliff/mountiun side/wall/ceilling VERY fast

[@leetlong1511]

You should have kept the saddle on at the end because if you use it in the game then you will have a saddle

[@mohammadhumayun3712]

I’ve been looking for this particular video for ages. Thank you and keep up the good work

[@gavinrawski51]

What would you guys recommend me to play. Ark Aberration or Ark Scorched Earth. I’m not sure. Thanks!!!

[@KLAPSON.]

Scorched earth

[@itsmylife852]

Aberation

[@anigodzapex9384]

Allberation is Science Fiction and Scorched Earth has Mystic Creatures. Buy what you like, because both are pretty good. Scorched earth is more difficult to play but it's worth it.

[@hondolane5513]

Scorched earth you can get wyverns and rock elementals if you don’t have a Rag server

[@e4atricks759]

Abnegation is netter

[@sergiorosel2640]

I found how to glide as rockdrake is to activate running then jump to start gliding and look low or near the floor

[@babyrex4106]

Rockdrake has a tek saddle and can hold another player

[@AnNguyen-ji2ix]

Where are you at on this video? I needed the location... It’s good for my only flying tamed creatures... No land or water creatures able to climb that high mountain!

[@user-mp3in9fk5f]

Great video Cj!

[@KilynnTor]

5 yrs later winged puppy vs glide puppy is still undecided. I have a favorite winged puppy though, it's the Bloodwyvern.

[@michelledailing7354]

I still gotta prefer rock drake because there cooler looking, plus they can climb and go invisible

[@wesleyharvell8873]

michelle dailing amen

[@JeffreyJefferson]

Wyverns are definitely superior. You are pretty much invincible if you have a level 150 lightning wyvern on ragnarok. (Singleplayer)

[@timothytrevino3772]

JackOfAllTrades I mean this whole video is based on the base creatures themselves the rock drake does have the advantage of a tech saddle

[@tophatsnek3347]

Timothy Trevino doe how common is it that you get a tek saddle not very often

[@damnsonwheredyoufindthis.3830]

JackOfAllTrades In single player you are invincible with every strong high level creature though. But I agree that unlike drakes lighting wyvern can destroy gigas as long as you have a place where you can land to regen the stamina without giga getting you.

[@damnsonwheredyoufindthis.3830]

Timothy Trevino Which uses element to attack at the distance and is super end game gear.

[@deonteharris4089]

JackOfAllTrades you are pretty much invincible if you have 4 decent level Rex’s on single player. Doesn’t take much to be invincible on single player especially when you get to giga tier.

[@mnark6725]

Well you can hv a tek saddle on the Drake

[@wolfdune491]

Rock Drake also has a pounce ability I use it on the island to hunt flying Dino's in the redwoods it pounces tree to tree hitting anything in it's path for 124

[@ophiophxgic]

Bro if u admin paint a drake all black and the feathers red they r beautiful

ill keep that in mind thanks :)

[@idontusethisanymore667]

I've done that to my rockdrakes before. It does look amazing.

[@ophiophxgic]

[@thefirstprince8214]

I did that but made the feather highlights magenta, and the feathers/underbelly dark dino purple, it looks beautiful

[@Swiftalarm_]

You know there is a taming buff.....Right?

[@bloodOntheStep]

rock drakes are the best for scouting i think. plus you can wall glitch to unrender them completly. ive lived on unfriendly servers for weeks with nothing more than a rock drake and c4:)

[@the_entity8636]

They’ve got there area of specialty, for example, for wars, wyvern is better because of there breathing, for stalking and tailing enemies, drake is better because of there cloak ability, speed on land, and ability to climb on vertical surfaces, for exploration wyvern is better because of flight, they’ve all got there areas of specialty.

[@razershard1053]

Great video, nice battle

[@feralporpoise37]

How do you go into third person?

[@iitzeren]

But the othere Thing is you can shoot from the Rock drake and you can give the Rock drake an sadel so ye

[@theobserver5372]

People saying the rock drake can swim know there not gonna use that ability when the sarcosuchus or the baryonyx are miles better underwater.

[@Icyy6923]

Am I the only one who prefers the wyvern? The wyvern is much stronger, and even though the wyvern is slower and dosent have a saddle, it can fly and stay flying, unlike the rock drake who cant stay in the air. The wyvern is found on Scorched and Ragnarock, while the rock drake is only found on abberation. If you have a high level Lightning or fire wyvern, it could easily take on a drake. Last thing, the wyvern comes in 3 types and can breath different breath depending on what type it is. The rock drake cant breath lightning or fire, and cant spit out poison balls.

[@t-rex0656]

Not being mean or anything but there are 4 types of wyverns

[@colinflannery8284]

The rock drake do a speed glide once your crosser shows up and has a 2 person saddle.

[@FlamingNinja]

The drakes are good for spying on other players in a cluttered environment or for accessing cliffside bases. Yes the Wyvern can do that too, but they can be harder to tame. Plus low-level Drakes can outrun 90% of ARK’s creatures when gliding.

[@maxpython2045]

Cj you have to run to always make glide so you would toggle run jump and it will glide

[@sinjinrath9703]

You forgot about the rocket zoom ability of the Drake. Easy to get away after stealing a Wyvern egg.

[@forbz202]

I think that if the Rock Drake was on another map, it would of been more powerful but due to it being an Aberration only tame it doesn't have as much things to contend with to be a powerful mount unlike the wyvern.

[@amydaniels2719]

Plus the rock drake did fall and the falling damage in this game is broken where a big level 100 wyvern could fall 20 ft and lose half its health. First hand experience

[@thunderstruck206]

Not to mention the wyvern had an inventory full of food so it was able to heal we never got to see the Drake's inventory feels rigged

[@xenodragon77]

Unridden creatures take no fall damage and rock drakes take no fall damage even if ridden

[@dylanw5753]

What do you use to record Cj

[@snowy5099]

Rock drake is good at battling tho, especially single player, because of its camo wild dinos will ignore you, but the main point is, that they have a tek saddle, thus being able to shred most things, on singleplayer rock drake is better

[@m.ostrowski2031]

If the wyvern couldn't fly, it still would have won due to higher damage and a faster attack rate.

[@puckfr]

Patriota Wielkiej Rzeczpospolitej no it has less health by 200

[@susanmayes45]

Beckzy it also does more damage and attacks faster

[@treeseeker5884]

Patriota Wielkiej Rzeczpospolitej you are right

[@tyjmo9891]

Wyverns have way less health than rock drakes. Their special abilities do most of the damage to the rock drake.

[@treeseeker5884]

Tyjmo98 the wyvern has way more dps! So it would win. Even without Special ability
