can a sarco kill a spino

[coolkingdoge]

I have a huge spino problem on my beach and i just tamed a sarco what stats should i pump or should i even try at all? BTW i'm on mobile.

No experience with mobile, but I know there are a lot of differences so any advice I give could be way off...

...however speaking about the PC game, a sarco could indeed kill a spino, but it would very much depend on their levels and other factors. Firstly, if the sarc had a saddle to reduce incoming damage. Second, if the spino was low-mid level...a high level spino puts out more DPS than a rex and shouldn't be taken lightly. Third, if the spino is in water, because it gets a buff to damage and speed when hydrated, making it much tougher.

End of the day, if you have a decent saddle, the spino isn't too high level and you draw it away from water, then yes you may be able to take it. But it would be a little bit risky.

As mentioned by Hermit, it depends on the level of your sarco and the spino, and the individual stats on yours.
Can a tamed level 450 sarco kill a wild level 5 spino? Of course!
In reverse? Don't try it.

Try to use a spyglass to inspect the level from the distance. Don't risk it if you don't have a one, it's too late to escape from the combat if you find yourself in a bad shape as your sarco is not able to outrun/outswim a spino (maybe it can outswim but very risky).

Otherwise, tame some fast creatures like gallimimus or megaloceros to lure it away.

Not sure about the difference on mobile, but I assume the stats should be pretty much the same.

problems I have with taking on a Spino at all, is knockback. if a Sarco doesn't get knocked back, you could definitely have a chance against mid-level spinos with a Sarco. some mounts or dinos cannot even get close, the attack range is way too much on a spino and his head doesn't lower itself when he bites quite enough to hit him like that.
