About the Wyverns

[Yvvyyy]

So, after they patched out Lightning Wyvern's metal structure damage I noticed something; that they do torpor on direct hits. Quite high one at that unless you don't die from it first.

As a baby, they don't eat anything besides the milk which I'm sure everyone knows by now, and the milk gives over 1000 food making sure you don't need more than a couple unless for imprinting or the wyvern is very low level, also lasts for about 3 hours at most with preserving bin + salt.


All that aside, I've been mostly interested about individual values of each wyverns and found out about this much; (Please comment if I have anything wrong or have something to add!)

Fire Wyvern: Somewhat narrow and med range 'cone' AOE that does high 'tic' damage while the breath is being released and burns the target for about 5 seconds or so. I couldn't count how many tics exactly, but it can be devastating against players and anything that's in the cone. The burn damage itself didn't seem that reliable. The breath attack damage seems to be able to be negated by the armor, lowering their durability. It's also got the smallest turn radius compared to other two wyverns, making them quite mobile.

Lightning Wyvern: Slightly longer range than fire wyvern-I'd say about 2 wyverns long-and does AOE damage that does DEVASTATING tic damage at where it hits or at the end of it's range. It does so much damage even without increased melee that the armor won't save you from a direct blow, and it hits it's maximum range instantly unlike the other two wyverns. Not only that, it does enough torpor to knock out a player pretty much immediately(I wouldn't try it for taming as damage is way too high) The downside is that it's turn radius is terrible, but the lightning will follow your aim almost instantly as long as the wyvern's head can turn as far.

Poison Wyvern: Long range, slow speed projectile shooter much like Arthropleura. The projectile itself doesn't seem to do much damage, but explodes into cloud of gas that does incredible AOE tic damage that will kill most players if they're within it for more than 2 or so second. It also completely ignores the armors, and if the player is riding a dino, the dino will be ignored and players will be killed instead. The gas of question will stay in effect for about 5 seconds or so before dissipating, and multiple shots can be fired in same location for stronger effect until the prior gas cloud disappears. Turn radius is between the two, kind of hard to use still but not as bad as Lightning Wyvern.

The shared trait is that each wyvern is immune to breath attack of same type of different wyvern, making melee the only option in such case save for Poison Wyvern as they can kill the rider off. They also destroy everything up to wood, so that's a good news. Can't really see a good use for Fire Wyvern in PvP but Poison and Lightning Wyvern seems to be pretty effective if you don't mind blowing up your own tribe mate with the enemy.

P.S: Unless the server I was on had dino damage multiplier(which I don't think), their melee at 900% will do over 10k damage with 86% imprint to a Training Dummy. However, they also take thousands of damage from turrets within seconds due to lack of own armor, as well as from other wyverns.

Thanks for this info! but I have heard that the poison wyvern has more weight than the other 2 but do the other 2 have other "higher" stats? if you cant find this out I would still like to thank you for this helpful info. and which one is your favourite from the 3

I haven't had a chance with low level Wyverns to come up with the more number based statistics :( but they all seem to scale mostly equally on all stats. To add, most of Fire Wyverns in my tribe have higher melee than the other two, but the difference is either minor or sometimes indifferent enough to be ignored.

As for my favorite, I like all three. Fire Wyvern for the looks, Lightning Wyvern for the ability, Poison Wyvern because it's my assigned mount ;)

if you are talking about baby wyverns, and baby wyverns only, then yes they only eat milk, but at adults, they eat meat.

Is ice wyvern the same as the fire or different the only real difference is the texture and the attack, but i personally think its the best single player mount mainly because it slows down the pray when hunting on the ground where i can keep replenishing my stamina.

I think that ice wyvern didn't exist in 2016
