Troodon venom

[Clunker]

whats it even do?

[GatoradeMeBitch]

i think it applies passive damage or something

[💫Fable💫]

yeah, it like, weakens the person being attacked and like the comment above, likely serves as passive damage. if you watched the trailer for the update, there is a part that explains the process.

Stage 3 venom, when prey is glowing purple, is a DPS that stacks, as long as you keep poucing. Troodon is very OP.
Idk if they changed it since Stress Test but it was also draining stam so a Troodon pack could easily kill a full grown Stego.

nice ty guys so if you get them to stage 3 they'll literally glow purple? an do you know how many bites that takes?

Venom SUCKS (never even played Troodon). I've been galli, and once a Troodon pounced you, you can just follow it and kick it to death.

Right, the thing that can get oneshot by almost everything, needs a good group size to even do anything and even then will likely loose a few members during a hunt is "very OP".
Tf are you on about

You don´t bite to apply venom. It only works by landing a pounce. And its always 3 pounces, 1 per stage. The tricky part is that the troodons cant just spam pounce in the beginning because that will reset the venom application.
Once one troodon pounced something, you have to wait for a sound the entire group makes before you can do the next pounce and proceed to the next stage.
Only on stage 3, when the venom is fully applied, you can start pouncing with everyone to your hearts content.

Heres a video (timestamped) that explains it pretty easily.

And despite trying to look out 3rd party information about it I still have no clue how the 3rd stage is supposed to be used as I have heard completely different things being said.

1. Get them to 3rd stage, then SPAM pounce them just jump on and off right away with as many people as possible for maximum damage.

2. Get them to 3rd stage, then get as many people as possible to pounce and HOLD on them for maximum damage.

I think 1. is the correct one just from how the poison seems to work(1 pounce = 1 stack) but it would make more logical sense, and more balanced, if you added much more poison while holding a pounce on a target.

Drains more of your stamina so is more risky = should be more rewarded than several 0 seconds pounces with no risk of bucking stamina drain.

Eh, holding on is more of a "Be less predictable and don't get snatched immediantly" tactic.

Troodon is for experienced players who's using VC together.

I've seen fully grown ceras and carnos being killed by Troos.

And the Troodons i see dying the most are those jumping around and spamming broadcast in daytime.

Stop acting as if every playable needs to be able to 1v1 the whole map. >.>

Unique species for all types of players/groups/strategy/gameplay is good for Evrima.
