High Level Giga vs pack of Wyverns - who wins?
If I have a high level giga tamed, can it fight off like 5 wild wyverns?

Single Player would be a good place to test that theory.

I would think the first question would be, do the Wyverns deign to come into striking range of your giga? If they choose to stay aloft and just raid down breathe weapon damage, could be a long day for the giga. If they're dumb enough to land, I gotta give the giga some edge, but I dunno about five.

Can you kill a flying bird with your bare hands? If you know the answer to that, you know the answer to your question OP.

Tamed giga's arnt all that strong, but wild creatures are pretty dumb. I would say the giga would still win. Even tamed a giga still does decent damage, and the gnash will slow them down making it easier to hit. If you are riding the giga, just back peddle to keep them in front of you most of the time. Wear a gasmask if there is a poison wyvern, if you get hit, it will probably kill you off of the giga.

A flyer.

So another wyvern would be ok? I just feel like their turn radius is so bad xD
Do wyverns go down pretty fast or no

What I do is fly my wyvern into one of the nest pockets. The other wyverns will fly in and get stuck trying to attack you, allowing you to get in quite a few attacks before they wriggle back out and come in again.

If you have a good shotgun and a mount that can tank, wyvetn's take extra damage from bullets, and apparently bonus damage from ballistae, if the wiki is to be believed

Yes one tamed unridden, not imprinted decent level giga with a normal saddle can easily kill lots of wild wyverns. They just fly head first into the giga. They do use breath every once in a while but your Giga will two or three hit most of them. If the wyverns are all in a pack, it can take the whole pack down pretty fast. I do this to clean out the scar from time to time. I think the most my lvl 230 Giga has eaten at one time is 8 and he was pretty bloody after that.

I now have 5 imprinted gigas to do this task for me but it is serious overkill.
