Is cerato faster than dilo?

[Democracy Manifest]

Long story short,my dilo lived long and thug life. One day a wild cerato appears out of nowhere,he was far away.
No problem i thought,i am 2.3 kmh faster than him. Eventually after mirin' me for couple of seconds he initiated a chase from relatively large distance,after 1 minute chase he caught up to me and killed me. I still had 25-30% stamina left. What is ceratos actual speed now? 39-40?

You weren't full adult. Cerato is considerably slower then Dilo, in fact if both are full adult a Cerato stands absolutely no chance against a Dilo. One bite from a Dilo bleeds a Cera to death, one bite from a Cera does basically nothing, and Dilo is faster.

Zioniks,i was a full adult long before i started stalking herbies. But i will take your last sentence as a note. Thank you for clarifying.

[Kami]

unless you're mistaking Cerato for Carno, there is no possible way you were full adult and got run down by a Cerato, not even through ambush from that distance and time.

just in case, Cerato is the one with a large horn on its snout that turns like a beyblade, while Carno is the one with two horns on opposite sides of its head over the eyes that gets juked by a crippled five year old child.

It's something like 36 to 38 in favour of the dilo. I can backup the information about the posted speed not being accurate as you grow. Think of it like this (an easier example but a juvi is possible to figure out too):

- You just turn adult and you're growth begins at say 7.0 (fictional dinosaur)

- You look at your character sheet and it says your speed is 38.5

- Your current speed is only 70% of 36.5

- Only when you reach 100% growth will your speed "actually" be 36.5 which means you can still be outran by dinosaurs that are maybe full grown. No one can do the math on the spot at all times, because you can't see the growth of the other player, but it's always wise to wait until "you" are full grown before engaging other players, typically.

Even the smallest bit of growth makes a sizeable difference in speed. Bite force updates real-time for all dinosaurs, "but" isn't the whole picture neither, because of the weight system.

[Darth Absentis]

either you where not full grown or it was a carno, or you got stopped by several objects or the cerato really took some short cuts or soomething, since that just is not possible

Cerato is a joke, needs a totally rethink of it's role and a suitable place between all others mid/lowtiers. In worst case maybe even as AI. Maybe in exchange for the Acro as an Apex Pack-Hunter.

This. Cera is garbage rn. Cool concept but the weight system makes it ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Uhh cerato might be slower then dilo but is in no way weaker, it can 2 shot a dilo and has a far better turn radius then it (if you're playing on a no alt turn server) so it does stand a chance against lower tiers. But it will get rekt by things like allo and suchos, But I do agree it needs a buff.

[Kami]

No alt turn servers are irrelevant. Cerato far from 2 shots a Dilo when both are fully grown: it doesn't even 2 shot with its bleed, while Dilo 1 shots with bleed. Cerato might stand a chance against lower tiers like Utah or Pachy, but it stands absolutely no chance of either fighting or escaping a Dilo and is instantly dead if one goes after it.

[Miss𝓧Green]

I was a full adult dilo and was 2 shotted by a adult cerato, unless my eyes were fooling me I'm sure they are both strong against each other...

[Kami]

either you were very, very injured or you weren't fully grown. Cera wins in a facetank but its damage is negligable to a Dilo at best.

I’ve been playing as a Cera for a while now and Cera can easily take out a dilo, especially if you’re in ambush. It can 2 shot a dilo and 1 shot a sub (same with utahs). I’ve been in situations where i killed 2 dilos and i survived it easily. Just make sure you don’t run, stay in ambush and you’re fine..

[RexNatura]

Cerato is in fact pretty well-balanced right now. One of the quickest-growing mediums, it has decent bleed, pretty good speed, a turning radius that's godly and bite force enough to cripple or kill utahs, dilos, dryos, every juvi of anything- it can take on sub trikes pretty well, too, and a dumb para or maia's an easy meal.

[Diktatorpanda]

If the wieght/bite force on the wiki is correct a full adult Cerato would do 656 dmg per bite to a full adult Dilo, wich has either 1050 or 1200hp, the wiki is abit fuzzy on that but no matter, Cerato 2-shots a Dilo, buuuuut if the Dilo get's bitten twice it is it's own fault, since it's faster and just need to bite Cerato once and keep it standing.
