We used to buy a base with turrets and walls on all sides of the megachelons shell and name it battleship, some of my favorite moments with the tame, it’s why I’ll always cherish it. Especially after the hours of failed taming attempts….
I’m early game on The Island right now, and got lucky with an early Paracer tame. I don’t go anywhere without her now cause she helps me avoid *so many* of the hostile creatures just due to her size, and with her being almost level 200 now, she can easily take on even many of the mid level spinos I happen to stumble into.
Took nearly 2 hours to passive tame a Diplo on Fjordur so wrapped with my first tame I called him game changer and immediately took him to fight a carno that had been killing me. Wow what a waste of time it just wanted to play while I got murdered trying to stand under it for safety. Tried it against a lvl 5 dodo and it couldn't kill that! I'd rather use literally anything else

Great vid, but by the way the titanosaur doesn’t get effected by saddles. If you look, they all have 1 armor, however the titano does have increased dr.
I mainly play PVE, but still would give the stego my vote. I have truly fallen in love with it since the TLC and even use it to combat bosses. Doesn't hurt it has always been one of my favorite dinos even outside the game since I was a kid either.
Thank you so much! I’m very new to ark(two weeks). I love the game! I’m at the point where I can spawn, level and find a starter base location in decent time. I have a lot to learn but I couldn’t have gotten here with out you! Deserved the follow & likes! Few more hrs of your vids and I’m going to be a problem lol
If you don't know u can breed lymantria too. Soo i used them for "flying soaking" it need a bit of try how to but it worked so good :) the "high saddles" are easy to find and craft too.
Honestly with a max saddle on a Diplo and the fact that you can get there health to 100k plus and on boosted servers up to a mill plus HP they are still decently still good suicide soakers. Just dump a breed pair with imprint and veggie cakes
The Reaper is by far the best as the rider is immune to almost anything while on the back. It not only has the highest damage reduction but also extremely fast regen with just basic meat, yes light pets f them up but if you set up a fob with a few turrets light pets cant get close while you soak, and the massive spin tail knockback means your position is impossible to rush down with giga or other dino. Very few pvp bases have charge lanterns on stand by to project light, that is really the only way to do anything about a soaking reaper. Even flashbangs / Z fruit do not knock off the rider.
I still think the kentosaurus deserves a mention. It's smaller so can be brought into some caves and benefits from pack boosts similarly to raptors plus has the stego special ability AND reflects damage back at the attacker.
@@lcu_dark3317 by stego special I was referring to the bleed effect they can cause. And not every dino requires a saddle to be useful. I've had one of mine solo a roughly equally leveled alpha raptor.
If you are one of the kid that cryes abaut stego not being first your sad, you might be right but come on dude! Btw great vid can't wait for the next one
megachelon, full metal surrounding it, this megachelon has been bred for mutations solely in health plus the imprinting plus mate boost plus being rid by the imprinter plus metagen (or mutagel i cant remember) plus its max level with an insane amount of natural points into health plus it having max player gained levels into health and you get banned from dnd because thats not ark (also like infinite ac) oh yeah and maybe its back facing the turrets with turrets of your own fighting back also better yet, surrounded by tek if youre there
Not that it is important but to further go into the mate bonus the first mate gives a 33% resistance, making it (unsaddled) take only 67% damage, but if there are 2 mates of the opposite sex, then you get a further 33% reduction on that 67% damage to bring it to 44.89%damage. Add a third mate and that goes down to 30.0763% damage. A fourth is 20.1511% damage. And finally the fifth and final mate boost lowers damage to 13.5012% of what would be normally done. That is a damage reduction of 86.5%. This can make big differences if you know how to manage the attacks right and why in open areas stuff to slow down rushes are still important. Mind you it has bee a long time since I was in a tribe setting up raid defences for large force attacks on a combative PVP server. This is a good reason that if you see a pack of saddled dinos of the same breed that is in numbers of 10 or higher that looks well organized it is a good idea to steer clear unless you have mate boosted dinos or massively more powerful attack squad yourself. Its also why I used to use a big pack of combat phiomias to guard my lower level brontos before the phiomia were nerfed to make people use parasaurs early game when the game was in late early access.
Would you mind making an updated video for this because there are nets now and you can for example, net a stego and it just lies on the ground, dismounting the rider, maybe new soakers have an advantage now? Long story short, what's the new "soaking" meta after genesis part 2 (except abusing noglins)
how the crab got on the list and the paracer wasn't mentioned thoroughly confuses me, also there was one mistake that I noticed in the video. There are no reaper queens on genesis, only reaper kings. You can only tame yourself a reaper on aberration, though you can transfer to another server while impregnated and keep the baby. Otherwise great vid Edit: I remembered just as I posted this but tameable crabs spawn in the lunar caves on genesis, along with the maps mentioned
@@grim7298 crabs are used for chucking c4 turtles into towers and material runs almost exclusively. they're terrible soakers because you can't breed them, their base health or even a max leveled health crab still isn't enough to soak as much as a single bred carbo. racers are not used for soaking, they abuse the ability to place structures on the racers back and make walls and such around it to cancel turret LOS, so you can walk right up to them and place c4 in third person through your wall
@@deepthdude2764 idk man. 50k hp and 10 hp regen roughly every second even while soaking is mega op. Plus with a good saddle you take like at max 100 damage from a heavy if even close to that
My List, 1. Tek Stego- EAsy to Breed, and disposal, High HP and can be ridden, 2. Turtle - Throw away soakers, easy to get, and mass production. small to fit in small spots. soaks very well still but can't really be ridden into battle 3. Pararacer - a tricky tame that is situational,. but can win you a raid in under 5 mins if used right, Shield walls, and to avoid death walls. but very large, and not really practical for all raids. 4. Rock golem - Dog shit. cant breed, too big, too slow, not practical, easy to get wrecked. but ok against soaking heavy in an open field. duh, who builds in open fields anyways. 5. nothing else really matters. really, the way to go is still to bring 100 Tek Steg and Turtles, with a few Pararacer in the pocket with mats to build a shield wall. and that's all you need. I mean most turreted bases I face have millions of ammo, with 200 turrets at the least. So reaper, and Rockies you would need like 30 to 50 of them. and I ant taming that many.
Morelatops are underrated you can literally have like 70 people with rocket launchers and rocket turrets as well as heavy’s and auto turrets its like so easy sure it’s slow but like think of all the damage you can do with that
The doedic, with enough speed is op, you can roll in, taking more reduced damage than tge doedic already does, and tek turrets csnt hit you due to your speed
