As a player just looking to get started in this game, this video was very helpful in letting me know what to look out for. Unlike a lot of other Ark content I have seen, you didn't assume that I already knew everything you were talking about, either.

I will always refer to the Argy as the "Flying pickup truck" of Ark cause there's about a million things it can do and it's good at all of them

Mostly agree with your takes, chief, although Troodon scout ability (most ppl don't even know about this) isnt useless on PVE. Also, Ichthyornis is THE ONLY way to tame otters with high effectiveness. Finally, Oviraptor in C tier is kinda bizarre seeing as they unlock 24/7 breeding in a way nothing else does.
@SpartacusSurvives8 ай бұрын
Still considering the cost of taming the troodon, i would still put it in D tier. Although they can be now tamed through the wild babies mechanic. C tier isn't actually a bad tier, it's more for specialized creatures, that have one purpose only.

Generally agree with the list. I think Bear, Basilio and Procoptodon should be top of A tier since their specific niche as high end travel mounts plus all have good resource gathering (bear gets fiber, honey, berries and hide while Basilio gets oil, meat and black pearls, and procoptodon gets good berries plus imprint buff). Also I do think that because Rex is a better boss fighting Dino than spino it should be in S tier. Finally I’m biased towards Tapejara cause it’s a great middle ground between speed and weight+stam. Great list and video!
@SpartacusSurvives8 ай бұрын
Thanks, man! With the expectation of the procoptodon, I think all of your choices are reasonable.

I agree with most (ik I’m late lol) but the oviraptor is bugging me. It’s easily s tier for afk farming breeding and kibble farm. The dung beetle being s tier also isn’t really fair considering that fertilizer and oil are easily replaced (also considering where dung beetle spawns it’s harder to get early game)

I agree with you on the Purlovia I love the creature but it really misses out because it has no saddle. We should be able to ride them... LIKE THE NEW LEGION DOES IN THE ARK ANIME! Pteranodon should be in A tier. Ptera is not better than an Argent for one unless you go back to year 1 pre nerf, also in your vid you straight up say Tapejara is an upgrade to Ptera but put Tape lower because its rare and harder to tame so you probably should have bumped Ptera down to A when you said that. I'd personally have Chalico on top of B tier and Arthro a little higher in C though because Arhtro can damage metal and TEk structures and the Chalicotherium can beat all the islands bosses on Alpha pretty easily (with 40 mutations you can get them to 23k hp and 1200% melee, add a 124 armour saddle and some veggie cakes and they destroy the island bosses). Chalicotherium can also damage stone structures and do heavy damage with their rockthrow in pvp, meaning you can breed just one creature for both PvE and PvP on the island... the only thing I feel holds it back from A tier is you NEED the mutations to do bosses. Overall Awesome tier list, I found myself agreeing with pretty much everything you said, keep up the good work mate.
@SpartacusSurvives8 ай бұрын
Your points are more definitely good, but from a PVP point of view. Except for the tape thing. Yes, i said the tape is a better version, but I also take in into consideration how hard it is to tame/find those dinos.

@@SpartacusSurvives that's fair. I played mostly single player in ASE but now I play something of a mix between PvP and PvE with my friends in ASA. Technically it is small tribe PvP (3 tribes of 2) but I spend a bit of time helping out my less experienced friends through alliances because they don't have as much time to play. (Or we just hang out in the Casino mod drinking Beer Jars 😆)

spino cannot be higher than rex rn in ASA. its bugged/nerfed when ur riding a tamed spino, its bipedal attack speed is much slower than before. its dps isnt as high as it was in ASE. u can argue normally in ASE spinos are better than rexes cuz of the DPS factor but with main DPS factor bugged or nerfed from the spinos kit, i dont think it is rn
