Is this Rex army good enough for alpha dragon boss?

[Sir Argo]

Rexes have 30k health, 1050% melee, 158 ascendant saddles.

They've gained 28 levels just sitting around (passive leveling), so there is potential to gain more levels and stats... but since I'm on a dedicated server, pve, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to level them up. I don't think just sitting around is going to generate much anymore.

They've taken out the gamma and beta spider boss and monkey boss. Haven't tried any of the alpha bosses yet.

Good enough? Or no?

its good enough to try. the dragon is the toughest boss of the group since it has the fire which will kill your rexes no matter how strong they are. the biggest thing is having a good yuti and healer to race against that fire damage.

just be ready to lose some dinos if it starts spamming its fire breath. Or you just steamroll it because it decides to just sit there and bite, its a coin flip how the fight goes.

It will easy clear the Alpha spider and monkey.
Dragon it should be no problem except for R&G with fireballs and if the dragon decides to land and bug out or stay in the sky.

I lost 9 Rex to stupid AI pathing/lava on the Dragon. Do what you want... Mine had 50k health and higher melee and it was a tough fight. Would have been easy if my goons didn't have a room temperature IQ.

if its unoffical it deppends on the server difficulty setting.
if its difficult is past 7 thats like a 90% damage reduction and i doubt that the rexes will do more than 10 damage
rexes that good should killed gamma in less than 2 minutes
when going past difficulty 5 probs best to clamp the bosses
cryo them up so they gain way more xp or meatrun with them for xp

I never now use rex for Dragon, I use Theris with cakes and ride a theri I take no yuty. I do not attempt to attack the dragon from my ridden one, instead i keep, or try to keep clear, The theris are mutated quite a bit and imprinted and levelled. I cannot remember when i last lost a theri to the dragon, probably over at least 10 fights.

[Vig]

alpha as well

[Vig]

also it is easier and better to have a play mate also riding a theri.. the idea here is so that each can protect from the Dimorph attacks which is far more dangerous than the dragon attack in my mind, easily able to kill a rider off his mount

[Salty Sensei]

Stegos and Shotguns, thats all you need.

[Sir Argo]

Update.

The army took out the alpha spider and monkey bosses without even breaking a sweat. However, the dragon boss was an utter failure. I had taken out the gamma dragon boss with an earlier group of rexes that weren't quite as good... so I was not prepared for just how utterly horrible it would go with better rexes. I only have two boss battles left... the beta dragon and the alpha dragon. I took the above army into the beta dragon arena and all the rexes were dead before the beta dragon boss was even to half health.

So I guess I'm going to have to breed a theri army.

[Vig]

if you do the fight with theris and on your own then consider having an additional theri with a saddle on follow and with attack my target set. this will help you protect from dimorphs. however watch how the fight is going with the 18 theri attacking dragon and be ready to go in to help if they are not mutated and leveled enough. Good Luck

[BudSwift]

i though people used them fluffly raptors (deins)on the dragon bosses ?

[Vig]

also important to be comfortable with whistling your theri to attack or refrain from attack as you must not go into the lava with them and try avoid the fireballs hitting them, just bide your time. moving theri out of harms way when dragon is flying or over the lave. always let the dragon come to you

[Vig]

also dont forget to put your ridden theri and the one on follow to ignore whistles

[Vig]

yeah fluffies are real nice you just need one of them to complete alpha dragon BUT they are not in the game yet unless you use mods

[Vig]

keep remembering more... a saddle is essential you will be right on the edge if its less than 180-200... i like 250 and above closer to 300 but real hard to come by
