What's A Good Dimorphodon Build?
What's the best build for a high level one? Got a level 100 and managed to tame it on a mountain, after a day and a night of frenzied prime meat collection. Now that I've got my shoulder bat, I have to ask what is the best way to raise its stats? I was going to level damage and health, but I've heard that for Dimorphodon it is better to level speed purely or speed and attack. Not sure which of the three builds to go for.

Well, might be... if I was planning to go deep sea diving with it on my shoulder. ;) Not so sure that's a good idea though- I don't think it can fly very well underwater, what with those tiny wings, all the megalodons, and all the lost pirate monkeys swimming around in there. They really need to lay off the rum, i swear.

Well, if it chokes on its prime meat...

I want to build it to shout out pirate phrases as an alternate attack. M1, bite. M2, "Polly wants your finger!" But seriously, no idea. Never really used them.

just go with whatever feels right for you . I`d say damage and speed are a good way to go because dimorphs are already hard to hit so speed would make them even harder to hit .

Health is always good because if it`s target lands a few lucky hits on it , at least he`ll be able to survive it .

But yeah , whatever you`re not spending on speed or health , definatly put that on damage .

Oh, he had no problems scarfing down all his prime meat... he choked down all the prime meat of an alpha like you wouldn't believe.

But if it chokes... ARK doesnt have hospitals... You've seen what happens to the sea life when they eat plastic...

Speed and damage for an anti-player build (PvP), Health and Damage for an anti-dino build (PvE).

AoE attacks are your biggest concern, because they're usually the only thing that can hit dimorphodons (this means that you want to be careful when picking targets). As a note of interest, monkeys are also excellent player killers.

How do monkeys kill players? I'm curious....

With a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, of course! They are more effective whenever a patch is delayed or something major breaks.

With a small hitbox, potential for high armour and a nice slowing attack they mince most players. They level decently too- a level 100 monkey of mine has 2k health and does about 75 damage an attack.

I have a group of 4 with ~2.5k health, ~600 melee, and ~150 speed. They are the escort fleet for my argent.
