Second, Rex is probably the best to 1v1 due to his bonebreak.
It would be far easier to answer your question if you told me what your favourite dino is, or what you would like to master? I can tell you how to best survive as w/e that is. :) IF that's your aim.
You won't always be in a 1 v 1 kinda fight, unless you're just playing death match servers, or something? A controlled setup, I mean. it's all in the context lol :) BEST can mean a few things in games, and often does.
For extremely high ceiling in skill but ability to kill anything i'd say Utah tho.
For a battle royale event with survival dinos only picking big things will probly make you finish very hurt at the end. I'd pick utah or carno for this style of event.
And you just lost any shred of credibility when you said Sticky is good proof of being good with Utah
No Alt Turn.
This is an intended mechanic in game, and without it you have ass riding. Ass riding is not a skill ESPECIALLY when you're playing an animal that stops instantly, can keep up with the 90% of the roster by tapping W, and turns so sharp it suffers zero debuff of not having alt turn where every other playable does.
Because the answers ball down to rex and giga.
UTAH - Beware of cerato. You can outrun them, but 1 v 1 or even 2-3 v 1 a cerato is more than a match for you. Allos you can avoid by ambushing as they do in order to get away. Or, if you're gutsy, you can turn the tables on a foolish allo trying to get you by running and turning. Beware of an allo, and carnos trot game, cuz if you aren't careful, you can be bit.
A carnos fast enough to stay with you at all times, so avoid them 1 v 1 as much as you can. If you have buddies, that carno is toast, but keep in mind that carno can also just run away if they think they're out matched. :) Utah also make great apex hunters when in packs.
Having a safe place to perch and the stamina to jump is also key to outliving a situation where you'd die otherwise! This is why you see so many at docks, and other places utah can perch around the map.
ALLO - Run to slow to catch prey, but trot, or alt-turn to play defensively. They depend on ambush completely to surprise, and fight their prey. Utah can outrun an ambushing allo if they to are ambushing. A carno can also outrun their ambush. Avoid being chased down by a rex by staying far enough in advance.
Allos excel at killing mid-tiers and those of their own tier fairly well. They're the top of their tier. Both carnos and cerato will have trouble with an allo going toe to toe, or if ambushed by an allo! An ambushing cerato could take an allo, so be watchful. Ceratos also depend highly on their ambush to kill faster prey! Steer clear of dibbles, cuz it takes 2 or more to kill 1 dibble! Para can also end you if you take too many kicks. However, if you avoid the kicks and land hits you can take a para. 1 v 1 forget about apex, dibbles, or sucho.
CARNO - An adult doesn't have ambush, but they don't need it being the fastest dino in survival by simply out running everything. They also handle bleeding and run well, so escaping after being damaged by a bleeder is very possible without fear of bleeding out, cuz they're moving and bleeding which usually spells doom for most dinos, and their speed will carry them fare enough to sit and rest.
Most play them out in the open, similar to galli game play. Why? If you can see trouble coming, you can easily outrun them. However, this advantage also works against them. Unlike galli who aren't looking for prey (unless they find a juvi or something to harrass lol) being out in the open also means prey that aren't out in the open can avoid you just as easily.
So, there is merit to being a sneaky carno. Your adult self won't have ambush, but it's not needed with your speed! :) Who can you handle well? Everything smaller than you. Utah, dilo, etc. Non large tier dinos. At times, you ...could...try and take on a cerato, but only if you catch them by surprise and score a free hit or two? Cerato don't handle bleed like they probly should. just don't press the fight like a biter. A cerato will end you.
You might be able to take a para too, if you can avoid the kicks, and make your bleed count! :) Your easy peeze kill at full growth? A maia! You see one, attack it! There's no way a maia can win, unless you miss a bunch of hits, or they land more than you do. Use your speed and bleed.
DIBBLE - Dibbles are pretty straight forward. They aren't the fastest dino in the running, but they handle themselves very well! They can easily fend off anything but sucho and apex simply by standing there and face tanking. Good turn speed will also make a pack of utah or dilo think twice about messing with you. if it weren't for alt-turn cutting off all the angles of attack, you'd have a shot at rex too!
Addtional tips...
- Your character sheet doesn't tell the whole story. Your speed, attack etc aren't what they appear to be. Those numbers are representative of your current stage of growth's maximum potential. So if you're .7 of 1.0 that's 70% of whatever the character sheet says. Yeah, I learned this one the hard way lol. Other spots on the character sheet are placeholders too.
- Rain disables your ability to use scent in order to see tracks, water, food, or gore, BUT it also reduces your need for water! :)
- Resting does a bunch of beneficial things! Reduces your need for food and water (rain can stack on this effect for water!) and if you're bleeding, you cannot die of it while resting. Phew! However, if you let your food, and water get to low and getting up means you'll bleed to death...you could very well die via the gradual damage you take when starving, or dehydration! So, don't let your needs get too low. ;)
Another drawback is obvious, you're vulnerable when resting, and can't attack while doing so. Resting while danger is near is bad if they find you. If you're up, you can at least defend yourself.
- Speaking of getting up and resting. Both actions are often noisy for a lot of dinos and will alert hostile players to your location! Dilos are the only truly silent dinos to get up and sit down in both stages of growth. It makes them true masters of stealth. :) And they rule the night...yikes!
Have fun and stay safe! :)
Alt-turn should have a stamina use, or cool down. I wouldn't mind it then so much. :P It's one extreme to the other atm :P
Momentum.
Best of luck if you actually wanted to eat the damn thing or are on a server with rules against killing in water.
