Best build for each dino?

I dont play a lot of the dinosaurs but I'll be generic. I would save survival talents for when you get bigger (the only one I'd as soon as you spawn is to go for is weather resistance ) and go for a mix of speed and combat.

Depends on the dino, whether I'm solo or not, and where I feel like playing mostly. On Rival Shores, for instance, the various islands are more or less suited to certain builds. More closed-in terrain like parts of the forest island can favour combat builds as it's easier to ambush, whereas if you're haunting desert you may wish to go more for speed. And don't forget your Powerful Legs (jump height/fall damage reduction) if you're hanging around more vertical islands like the alpine area or velo island.

Similarly, what works for what dino has a lot to do with how you want to play. You can make a fine combat build out of most dinosaurs provided you're playing in a style that compliments it, e.g. ambushing people. On the other hand, it can be more fun sometimes to make a speed build and try your luck as a bit of a nomad.

But, just to get you started, speed megalosaursus and a combat tyrannosaurus are both popular builds that can be very dangerous. And don't feel like you have to only do one tree at a time.

Otherwise, I agree with Huky re: survival. That's a later stage tree for the most part. Early on you need to be worried about what you're going to do when you encounter someone who has maxed out combat or speed. Your food/water meters being relatively full won't prove decisive in such a fight. That said, critters like rexes might benefit from a little survival earlier than other species as they need a lot of food to survive.

im pretty new too, but i typically find speed useful as a noob because its easier to evade people than fight back a lot of the time. (though i tend to play smaller faster animals) Also helpful for any fresh spawn i feel because there will always be stronger older dinos. so being able to outrun them is more likely than being able to fight them because they will be very strong.
