So Pachy stats? Melee? Stamina?

[AstroZombie]

What will help increase his knockout torpor? Melee? What should the prime goto stat be for when he levels?

[JasonB]

Propably movement speed and health.

I'm curious to know if it would fill the fast transport role that a raptor does today. It would be nice to know there is a herbivore alternative.

hmm

Err, the fast herbivore alternative to the raptor is the Gallimimus. It just isn't ingame yet.

Anyone know best area to find one? I read grasslands but still haven't found one, circled map a couple times with Argent to no avail.

Pachy is the epitome of mediocrity. It's about the speed of a parasaur, and carry weight is about the same as a raptor.

Don't know what the base melee damage is, but it isn't good, might be the same as a raptor without the raptors attack speed, charge attack is difficult to make work on account of not being able to turn mid charge, and doesn't seem to give a significant damage boost.

As for health, I knocked one unconscious at lvl 12 and it had 140 hp, knocked one unconscious at 112 and it had 750, however they do have increased physical resistance, not enough to make up for the low HP in my opinion (key word there for all the fan boys), and will never be as tanky as a scorpion ironically.

I've yet to knock anything unconscious so I can only guess there.

It can't harvest berries but it can gather thatch with a tiny bit of wood, does not harvest from rocks, or corpses.

There is no distinct role for it, not even as a multi purpose dino. The only function I've found it good for is novelty, it's like riding yoshi, and that’s the only good thing I've managed to find.

Thanks for the insight MK. Good to know...

i really do feel bad for the pachy, they r soo adorible but are outclasses by everything else. i thought this guys where ment to be the herbi equivalent to the raptor, mabye a bit slower but tankier, but sadly they r on par with a dilo, they arnt to hard to tame, but other then that, only thing i can think of is mabye egg farms or early game knock out animals, things do topar damage, even when not mouted, so could help knock out something big if u have a few, but it seems like this guys r just kind of like dilos. But if topar, depending on if ur riding or not, defineitly damage if not riding, and speed and damage if u r, the more speed they build up, the more damage they do, still, need to make them beefy enough to survive

Egg layer pretty much, unless you're really low or have nothing else Pachy to me are fairly pointless dinos, tame a Para instead...

Melee damage to increase torpor damage. HPs for better tanking ability, although you're probably crazy to try and knockout a large carnivore with a pachy, as they're made of paper, and get stuck inside many of the large dinos. They're really amazing at knocking out the non-agressive herbies that run away (para, phiomia), but from my limited experiments, they get stuck under large carnivores and suffer too much damage. Perhaps a perfect tamed 120 with a lot of health might work against large carnivores.

From what I can tell with stock attack damage from 95+% taming effectiveness, they do about 150 torpor damage instantly from a charge, and this is unaffected by how far they charge. I'm yet to see if move speed will increase this, but I'm going to expermiment with it soon. As a matter of fact, you're better off getting hard up against your target, as the charge will hit 2-3 times, resulting in instant knockouts on lower level carbos/paras.
