Spino Vs Rex... which is better?

[Mr Butt Bandit]

So im looking to hunt down a high level super pet. But what one is better the spino or the rex? Or is there anything else that is ever better? Dodo maybe?

[SnowMan]

lol

[Jally]

lol, Dodo.

I heard people say Rex is better.

Personally, I love my Spino.

T-Rex is stronger!

BUT! Spinosaurus can go on land AND water!

In real life the Rex likely would win, as it has huge bone crushing jaws unmatched by any other creature to ever live on land(that we know of), and if history shows us anything it would be that the specimen with a better arsenal usually wins. The Spino does have its own advantages aswell, but I personally think the Rex was more suited to take down like-size prey.

In the game I'd imagine its the same, in a fight to the death the Rex wins as it likely has abit more base damage per strike and a much better turn radius. The spino is more ultimate utility beast then the ultimate war beast.

The tyrannosaurus was vastly exaggerated as a predator...it was a scavenger...Allosaurus and Giganotosaurus were both the true dominant species of the dino land based world. And for size....spinosaurus with useable front legs would dominate a trex. the rex just had jaw strength and muscle mass in the lower body. but it's top heavy with bad balance and would be one of the few dinos that would struggle if forced to the ground. just talking from a scientific standpoint.

That doesn't make any sense at all. From a scientific standpoint.
Those dinosaurs didn't even live during the same eras.
And it is not debatable: T-Rex is built for pure marderous strenght with its jaws, bones and muscles. It had the most powerful bite of any creature at any point in history. The kind that crushes steel. Spinosaurus has conical teeth with a long muzzle made to catch fishes.
Allosaurus had a bite weaker than a modern lion and was significantly smaller than a Rex.

In game, the Rex gets more HP per point put into levelling, but the spino has a few advantages:
1) the spino appears to have a slightly higher base attack, considering I do more damage per attack to wooden structures vs Rex with a 600-6w0% melee damage stat
2) the spino seems to be able to walk over walls single story high
3) the spino regains stamina while swimming
4) the spino has Hugh oxygen, making escape into deep water easy
5) the spino swims faster than it runs

Use the spino to make attacks in areas close to water because the lack of HP will make you pull out to recover early

[Viivrabe]

Rex base damage is 80
Spino base damage is 50

Spino attacks about 1.5x faster

rex better per-hit-damage and tanking
Spino has better sustained damage and utility

[AteBitGamer]

If you are looking for a pure battle mount I would say the trex. The spino does have some flexibility though as it is a much better swimmer. When not sprinting however the spino is painfully slow. Will you really use it in the water much anyway? I would say TRex is still king.

On the same source, the spinosaur page states it's got higher base damage, but from what I've seen - it's negligible in practise

they both suck and are useless since they can only be used to either attack low lvl bases or as guard dogs

'Murderous strength'? Doesnt take much strength to murder, consider the Hyena, incredible bite strength, and yet it is a scavenger, predators require a combination of strength, speed and agilty. I agree that the Rex probably got more of its meals from scavenging and was probably an opportunistic hunter

That's what the paper that was mentioned actually said. The inference is that there wasn't always enough live prey to indefinitely sustain the Rex, so it would also scavenge if need be

I disagree, along with Sailfish- my level 65 spino. She would happily make a snack out of you and your argentavis and I have a shotgun and parachute on me- should you decide to try any funny business
