I feel like the Tropical Wyvern would be amongst the top 2 if it could just swim. It always annoys me knowing that it gets the hydration buff but can't touch water deeper than 6 ft due to the bugginess of flying tames and water "walk-to-swim hitboxes"
Its damage is the lower tier regardless though do idk if it would really push it to 2nd, regardless imo blood would still be nr1 and lightning 2nd. And the fact wyverns don't have optional saddle would mean it gets wrecked by bigger sea creatures, or at least severely injured
This! I don't even really want it to swim, I just want it to not be dismounted when your toes touch the water. If tropical wyverns treated the water like the ground, like the pelagornis, that would be great.

Fool (not at you directly), i killed a titanosaur with an ember crystal wyvern. My wyvern was over level 250. I really like the tropical crystal wyvern colors though. Killed a giga with a tropical For regular wyverns, i really like ice wyverns because i like ice themed animals in general.
well theres a TLC that needs to come to the game, buff older wyverns so they have more unique roles and improve using them. for example, ice wyvern to be able to freeze or so for example have breath attack that leaves a frost cloud on ground or wherever that slows everything inside it for a period of time. add aiming like mana to all wyverns. add scaling to all breath attacks and DOT effects so those with them are more useful. maybe make fire and ember different, fire could still have breath but make ember shoot fast velocity fireballs or something? just thoughts on stuff to make wyverns more enjoyable.
If they do a wyvern TLC they need to give the voidwyrm some PVE abilities. It makes sense that the breath attack would knock things out, as the lighting wyvern does torpor to it's targets, but it does so much damage it's unusable for taming, the voidwyrm also shoots electricity, just at far, far far faaaaar lower damage, it's more like a static wyvern
@@janvandenhooren9397 As a PvE player, the breath isn't very helpful when you have the tek suit which allow you to keep up with the tranq mission dinos etc and the way it is aimed for destroying buildings is useless in PvE, due to inability to hurt enemy structures or dinos. Should do higher damage against dinos personally. For me it's deffo my lowest ranked wyvern
Amber and fire are slightly different, I am not sure which one is which, but one has longer range, the other one has wider range, but yes, there could be a bit more difference
I wish the breath attacks could get color mutations like imagine some guy flys upto you with a fire wyvern and your like “oh that’s cool seen that before..nice black color tho” then they just use the breath attack and all you see is a wave if purple flames and alo you can think is “ NIGHTFURY”

I'm on team Lightning for sure. Wyverns have become such an integral part of the game, I'd go as far as to say that they're the only non-prehistoric creatures I really love. I only hope we get to see more variants in the future, there certainly is potential for more, and one can never have too many wyverns.
I was on ark before they had kibble. Official PVP, tamed two lvl 80+ ankys. With berries. Built a hut around them, slept, with alarms every hour on the hour to wake up and narco them. One had a hidden melee boost that helped us become the alpha tribe through sheer harvesting power. Buuuuut that's when I started realizing it was taking way too much of my life lol. Now it's just single player so I can walk away for a month and come back and never be raided
The lightning wyvern with it's purples and electrified breath is the reason I bought Ark and started on Scorched Earth. (Talk about the moat difficult place the live before they nerfed it, lol!) The Lightning is the one I feared most heading into the wyvern trench both pre and post fast flyer nerf. Thank you for another great video.
All of them kill titans pretty easy. But poison, lightning and blood crystal (in the same order) are def the best for giga killing. Poison has the best range, lightning has good range too, blood is a bit wonky since the attack area of effect seems smaller than the blood stream but actually reaches further than fire or ember, but the stream takes time to travel unlike lightning, but also it heals if it gets hurt for having to get closer
Gotta say the ice wyvern is massively underrated, in any kind of mob scenario (multiple allies) you can easily perma-slow and just melt things with no chance of them killing you
The lightning wyvern is the undisputed goat. Although, I do have 5 of these things at my base, they have not proved to be very helpful other than taking down titans. However, I do think that their main attack drains more stamina than needed. That being said, I think that the fire wyvern deserves a better spot p.
Lightning wyvern is now kinda bad due to nets being a thing, and if you get netted while breathing you get killed by your own lightning wyverns breath projectile
Ice wyverns are just bosses when they fight other flyers including other wyverns, the slowing attack could be spammed and you will never get out of this slow effect , it takes 10 seconds to finish and opponents could just hit you again and reset the timer ,they are good in pvp at least better than fire ones , and in the wild when you steal their egg on val YOU WILL NOT HAVE A GOOD TIME if they hit you once , I had a level 430+ level girffing ( the max on my cluster is 300 ) and it had over 20k HP and it almost died in a minute and I quickly jumped and took the rest to put him in a cryopod
Unless after you kill them and they have their lightning wyvern set to aggressive with their special abilities enabled. Then you have a riderless lightning wyvern on your tail lol. But yes definitely a good counter still
Poison wyverns are a LOT more devastating than people give them credit for. Even with gas masks as they can easily shred through the durability of a low level gas mask. I’ve never picked people off the back of other tames so easily in my life with the breath attack. However, they definitely don’t look as cool as the other wyvern variants unless they have really rare colors.
I played Ark mostly in single player and I will say my first wyvern was the tropical in crystal isles, its not as easy as it sounds in terms of taming but it is fun, I sort of wish the hydration buff is spread around more. Maybe make hte tropical wyvern that treats water as solid ground like the only amphibian animal that regains stamina while swimming. Though I think the water buff should be common, I mean I feel great whenever I chuck down some refreshign water.
I think the ice wyvern looks the coolest but lightning is definitely the most fun to use in my opinion but crystal wyverns I like the blood more 😂😂😂 I used 20 lightnings against the 3 titans and they wrecked face😜
You guys did the ember wyvern dirty, it may not have the base damage of the fire wyvern, but it has advantages that can certainly make up for it. The fact that it's a passive tame just like the other crystal wyverns is already a great reason to tame them, giving them a massive level boost compared to a raised wyvern, though admittedly they are rare, sometimes making it difficult to find one, let alone a high level, but you can also steal eggs from the wyvern trench in the desert. On top of that, crystal wyvern heirs spawn above even the wyvern level cap, at a max level of 225, putting a max level egg just above a 150 perfect tame
I feel like the best Wyvern are the crystal ones being a smaller Wyvern with similar strength to it's more bulky relatives while being both faster and more maneuverable than them, with how good the Blood Crystal Wyvern is at staying alive being able to heal from range and from corpses while still packing a decent punch it should've at least had 2nd place if not 1st as I do like the Lightning Wyvern as well and I see why it got 1st place here
Yea i would def place blood 1st and lightning 2nd since iy can be bred and heal. I kept killing all wyverns in the desert hive to have alphas spawn to get the 5 talons and i had full health pretty much the entire time because i got the health back from killing the same wyverns that damaged me in the first place. It also has surprising range i noticed, just it takes time to travel unlike lightning which makes hitting targets far harder. That and the fact the area of effect is thinner than the blood stream visuals, but seems to be barely longer than the blood stream. Meaning you can damage stuff slightly out of the visual reach, but can also miss even though it looked like a hit because of the thinner area of effect compared to the visuals
I agree with this but ice wyvern is just my fav in my opinion slowing down enemies is very useful but like you said snow owls could do it better but I also likes its looks. absolutely epic!
I honestly was kinda surprised that the lightning wyvern won even it is my favourite screw the void wyrm it should be called a tek wyvern a wyrm is a creature with no limbs a wyvern is a creature with no arms and with two legs and two wings a dragon is a creature with arms legs and wings the void wyrm is just a wyvern Also the drake is a creature with 4 limbs no wings
Wyrm is just another name for the species of flying reptiles in general. A wurm is what you're thinking of, where it has no legs. Normally its referred to as a Lindwurm
@@skiddybopmmmdada9534 from what I know, and the little searching I did, wyrms are flightless and limbless dragons, whereas wurm is basically synonymous but can also be really big snakes, like Jormungandr from GoW4.
Poison Wyvern is ridiculously underrated. It's easily one of the best wyvern head design and literally the only long-range wyvern of them all. The breath damage is also insane so with a little bit of practice you can snipe out most enemies from a safe distance without even fighting them. All in all, while it's not the best it's should be def at least in the top 3.
it was my first wyvern i ever earned, lost so many creatures in the process and almost quit my scorched earth save... the Poison wyvern has a very special place in my heart and i will always choose it over any other wyvern if given the chance
Design wise Voidwyrm is my favorite, however I agree lightning is the best overall. I actually had no clue the ember does more damage with it's breath the more you use it, so I learned something new as well. Also I just thought I'd mention a suggestion for a video. Since you covered the mod map Fjordur a lot it would be awesome if you also maybe did videos on modded creatures, such as the ones from Ark Additions. All creatures from that mod are such high quality as if Wildcard themselves made it, and they're all very unique both in taming and abilities. It would be cool to see your take on them, like a taming guide of just thoughts on them. :D And as always cheers for yet another very well done video, you're doing awesome mate!
Let's be honest, we're not surprised that the lightning wyvern is number 1 lol. Though I wish they make it have a pupil and doesn't face downwards when looking at you...
I’m team poison and shocked it’s lower then the fire wyvern especially since tropical are just better fires. Plus poisons are great with synergizing with lightnings.
If you are talking about pvp , then we can't say that the voidwyrm is 1st ,this thing is an absolute beast in pvp , the dmg to structures is insane , the base level 285 is even more insane , and the dismount ability is just OP , it is just waaaay better to use , but in pve , the electric wyvern gets 1st place by far , I don't play pvp and that is my opinion , tell me if I'm wrong
@@Ftbl.4hmed meanwhile aimlock dolphins flying at mach two you don't play PvP lol. Gen2 dino raiding is hilarious man, dinos are only used for soaking & maybe the occasional bob will pop an arthro out to munch a vault but why do that when we have bows that cost nothing or tek rifle/c4 raids
Ah yes Wyverns are my favorite creatures. Thank you for this video Raasclark. Fire wyverns are good and all but I'm going to have to go with my favorite as a lightning wyvern or a tropical Crystal wyvern back when I was playing on the crystal Isles I used to farm a bunch of crystals and tame Some Crystal wyverns I even had a pen or should I say a farm for them because it was so much wyverns that I love taming them with crystals and it was pretty cool although tropical wyverns are pretty cool I'm going to have to say I like the lightning wyverns more because they do allot more damage
I just want to say thank you for your videos. You have helped myself and my best friend who are still pretty new to Ark become pretty good players of the game. We've only started playing recently and have really enjoyed the game. Your videos have been very informative and I am in the process of raising a baby lightning Wyvern but its only level 90. I just got a fire Wyvern egg level 150 last night. Of course we are playing on Ark Offical PVE servers but even with the lag we are really enjoying the game 😊
My favorite normal wyvern is Lightning wyvern because his breath good because he’s the only one can take down bosses it’s also good to defeat The king titan
I think it would be lightning poison blood top 3 blood is super-effective for PVE laudanum poison can be very effective if you're riding it the void worm is not that effective only for PVP where that's even debatable because I have killed one with a lightning wyvern before he even got the shot off and they're not that good for Boss Battles so that sucks the extra levels is nice but the difficulty it is to tame is absurd in my opinion of course Everyone's entitled to their own thing good video have a good one
I like the void wyverns looks amazing and its is OP in pvp in my opinion. I fought somebody once with a mana and got reached in seconds from the void wrm (no not because i am trash lol) and the fact that it can damage all structures just makes it 10 times better for wipes and stuff idk
This is like a wyvern: survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/620216-shantungosaurus-the-giga-of-the-herd/&page=2#comment-3195065 The Shant could be the coolest addition to the game since the Amargasaur 😉 we need better Herbivore representation and this would give an Apex Herbivore to compete with Gigas in size and utility. Even if you've voted for other threads I strongly encourage people to help upvote this to top10 😁😁😁 -i -i'm a -i'm a girl btw. Uwu
I for surely get that the lightning wyvern is on top but i personaly think the blood, void and tropical wyverns are better i mean - void wyvern OP in pvp ( i know for some people he is pretty hard to get) - blood wyvern tanky as hell - tropical pretty good for pvp but amazing to go arount the map and easy to get Lightning is pretty good but just to popular a lot of other wyverns are just as good in my opinion you just need to know how and when to use them And to finish this of i just wanne say amazing video man and keep up the good work👍
Alright hopefully the halloween forest corrupted brute dodo and alpha variants have honorable mentions... just because they look cool also the queen crystal one cuz its a boss genesis part 1... has weaker variants during some gauntlet missions managarmr's are like rock drakes and ice wyverns had a baby rock drakes and the dragon are confirmed to be related and magmasaur just looks similar... wonder if theres an earth one. Deinonychus are also quite similar to rock drakes.. perhaps they are cousins... they are also related to raptors.. making them related to the wyvern family tree if deinonychus are related to rock drakes Deinonychus are what happens when a rock drake and a raptor have a baby.. like how mangarmr's seem similar to ice wyverns and rock drakes
Im not ok with all of these choice for me all crystal wyvern are superior to the normals ones beceause they are lot easier to control, they have more breath damage, they are smaller and they are faster.
*My personal List* *(pvp)* 1: Lightning Wyvern - Shreds tames with good range 2: Poison - Great base defense and can be used to snipe enemy fobs or even kill enemies off of their tames. Just not as easy to use or devastating as lightning. 3: Blood- Debatable choice of best crystal wyvern but due to its blood link thing which makes it extremely easy to kill people on foot I put it here. 4: Tropical- Kind of bias but I hate tropical due to the fact they can use their water boost to escape almost anyone and boost their stamina reduction during fights. 5: Fire- Slightly better than ember wyvern but not exceptionally good in pvp. 6: Ember- Similar to fire wyvern it is not exceptionally good in pvp but is good at killing tames once the rider is dead. 7: Ice- Nobody rides ice 8: Tek- Haven’t seen enough people pvp on it that I can’t say where it will be.
Ice wyverns are very good..they should be up in top. Tropical has a shitty breath attack but the ice wyvern is deadly if you are solo and 2 or 3 of them managed to slow you down..you are 100% dead. I've killed bloodwyverns and lightning riders with ice wyvern very easy on pvp. Once the player realise he is slowed...panic steps in and you are dead. Ice wyverns are also good to escape from an ambush..just slow your enemies and get out.
Nice Video… in order to find voidwurms easy you best concentrate on one side of the lunar biom top of the map or on the bottom end, and whipe the dolphins. For me i found out thats the best way to find them. Good luck all
The poison wyverns breath attack could also sometimes get into a part of a base if you hit the ground. I accidentally killed one of my tribe members years ago by hitting the wrong button 😅
Hey Raas great video! You forgot to mention map limitations, like (according to the wiki) the crystal isle wyverns can't be brought to other maps like Genesis 2 without Admin commands. Keep up the good work!
I have this idea for the ice wyvern where if you hold the breath attack button it would give you a effect saying "ready to shoot" and release it to spit out a ball of ice that explodes on impact and everything in its radius will freeze for a few seconds. Then just the normal breath attack useing the same button just not hold it down. (To use the ice ball your ice wyven needs to drink water like that modded dino that basically do the same thing)
People overlook Ice wyvern because most of the time we play alone. If you go hunt alphas with friends and dont have uber rexes or gigas, this wyvern breath is in fact doubling your team dps due to slow the target.
The tropical crystal wyverns breath doesnt have knockback nor does it drain stamina, i have checked the files in devkit, 1.) the damagetype for water has inflict impulse (knockback) on live pawns unchecked. And the actual water debuff is coded identical to fire and no where does it indicate stamina drain outside of the description.
Yes it does bruh, it drains stamina. Been a trop wyv main since Crystal Dropped. Still using them rn as my main flyer mount. Whats up with all these people purely reading wiki and not using them themselves. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Wow the lightning been the strongest hmm i felt that lastnight,playing on lost island i took my arg (travis) to the volcano to look some sulphur,all of a sudden this lightning wyvern spawned infront me i try fighting it off at first but after i saw it wasn't bleeding "close to death" i started flying away,arg wasnt fast anyways so he rip a 2nd a hole in me and my arg...Rip Tavis🥺
I feel like the Tropical Wyvern would be amongst the top 2 if it could just swim. It always annoys me knowing that it gets the hydration buff but can't touch water deeper than 6 ft due to the bugginess of flying tames and water "walk-to-swim hitboxes"

The poison wyvern is easily very low on any pve players list due to the mutated poison wyvern not bringing as much to the table as even the ice wyvern
The lightning wyvern is the undisputed goat. Although, I do have 5 of these things at my base, they have not proved to be very helpful other than taking down titans. However, I do think that their main attack drains more stamina than needed. That being said, I think that the fire wyvern deserves a better spot p.
Lightning wyvern is now kinda bad due to nets being a thing, and if you get netted while breathing you get killed by your own lightning wyverns breath projectile
@@yhiz4757 I thought nets only affect crystal wyvern?
@@dylanpace1349 nope, all wyverns. It's one of the main counters to lightning wyverns
Ice wyverns are just bosses when they fight other flyers including other wyverns, the slowing attack could be spammed and you will never get out of this slow effect , it takes 10 seconds to finish and opponents could just hit you again and reset the timer ,they are good in pvp at least better than fire ones , and in the wild when you steal their egg on val YOU WILL NOT HAVE A GOOD TIME if they hit you once , I had a level 430+ level girffing ( the max on my cluster is 300 ) and it had over 20k HP and it almost died in a minute and I quickly jumped and took the rest to put him in a cryopod
they're pretty nice on unofficials where wyvern health isn't mutated much, you can slow them then start killing them w/ a pump or a comp
absolutely true
The ice wyvern is the only one to slow enemy wyverns (to my knowledge) making it the easiest to kill/knock wild wyverns when paired with tribe mates
Day2 of asking raasclark to say Dio
Tek punch some one off a lightening wyvern while they are doing their lighting attack and they instantly die, pretty easy to counter them.
By the time u did hit the wyv u death already if it hits u lol
Unless after you kill them and they have their lightning wyvern set to aggressive with their special abilities enabled. Then you have a riderless lightning wyvern on your tail lol. But yes definitely a good counter still
Poison wyverns are a LOT more devastating than people give them credit for. Even with gas masks as they can easily shred through the durability of a low level gas mask. I’ve never picked people off the back of other tames so easily in my life with the breath attack. However, they definitely don’t look as cool as the other wyvern variants unless they have really rare colors.
disagree. their cool warning-striped fins and silly snake-like face make them one of the best looking imo.
lightning wyverns are overrated.
Yes.
I won a few fights with a ice wyvern. Freeze them then attack from behind.
@@cfowler7936 tf just pick them..
I'm a sucker for the tropical wyvern, that speed I would take over damage any day. You can always breed for damage
Yeah, I’m with ya
Yeah my blood wyvern kills any wyvern in seconds
I got top stats tropical wyv on official, they still do shit damage with their breath attack
@@alejandronero4368 yea but who cares about that when they have *speed*
I played Ark mostly in single player and I will say my first wyvern was the tropical in crystal isles, its not as easy as it sounds in terms of taming but it is fun, I sort of wish the hydration buff is spread around more. Maybe make hte tropical wyvern that treats water as solid ground like the only amphibian animal that regains stamina while swimming.
Though I think the water buff should be common, I mean I feel great whenever I chuck down some refreshign water.
I think the ice wyvern looks the coolest but lightning is definitely the most fun to use in my opinion but crystal wyverns I like the blood more 😂😂😂 I used 20 lightnings against the 3 titans and they wrecked face😜
You guys did the ember wyvern dirty, it may not have the base damage of the fire wyvern, but it has advantages that can certainly make up for it. The fact that it's a passive tame just like the other crystal wyverns is already a great reason to tame them, giving them a massive level boost compared to a raised wyvern, though admittedly they are rare, sometimes making it difficult to find one, let alone a high level, but you can also steal eggs from the wyvern trench in the desert. On top of that, crystal wyvern heirs spawn above even the wyvern level cap, at a max level of 225, putting a max level egg just above a 150 perfect tame
Yes but it's still useless..
From every crystal wiverns i'd choose blood wyverns. They can dmg the enemy while healing, that's enough for me
I know I’m late to this comment but w pfp subnautica is my fav game
I feel like the best Wyvern are the crystal ones being a smaller Wyvern with similar strength to it's more bulky relatives while being both faster and more maneuverable than them, with how good the Blood Crystal Wyvern is at staying alive being able to heal from range and from corpses while still packing a decent punch it should've at least had 2nd place if not 1st as I do like the Lightning Wyvern as well and I see why it got 1st place here
Yea i would def place blood 1st and lightning 2nd since iy can be bred and heal. I kept killing all wyverns in the desert hive to have alphas spawn to get the 5 talons and i had full health pretty much the entire time because i got the health back from killing the same wyverns that damaged me in the first place.
It also has surprising range i noticed, just it takes time to travel unlike lightning which makes hitting targets far harder. That and the fact the area of effect is thinner than the blood stream visuals, but seems to be barely longer than the blood stream. Meaning you can damage stuff slightly out of the visual reach, but can also miss even though it looked like a hit because of the thinner area of effect compared to the visuals
Crystal wvyerns can’t pick up stegos making them pretty weak for raiding…
I prefer tropical bc on pvp while pickfighting you have the advantage of speed and agility. Also you can escape mostly anyone with the water buff
I agree with this but ice wyvern is just my fav in my opinion slowing down enemies is very useful but like you said snow owls could do it better but I also likes its looks. absolutely epic!
I honestly was kinda surprised that the lightning wyvern won even it is my favourite screw the void wyrm it should be called a tek wyvern a wyrm is a creature with no limbs a wyvern is a creature with no arms and with two legs and two wings a dragon is a creature with arms legs and wings the void wyrm is just a wyvern
Also the drake is a creature with 4 limbs no wings
Wyrm is just another name for the species of flying reptiles in general. A wurm is what you're thinking of, where it has no legs. Normally its referred to as a Lindwurm
@@skiddybopmmmdada9534 from what I know, and the little searching I did, wyrms are flightless and limbless dragons, whereas wurm is basically synonymous but can also be really big snakes, like Jormungandr from GoW4.
One issue with the poison wyvern that stops it from being a great sniper/siege dino is that after a certain distance it just does 0 damage.
Poison Wyvern is ridiculously underrated. It's easily one of the best wyvern head design and literally the only long-range wyvern of them all. The breath damage is also insane so with a little bit of practice you can snipe out most enemies from a safe distance without even fighting them. All in all, while it's not the best it's should be def at least in the top 3.
it was my first wyvern i ever earned, lost so many creatures in the process and almost quit my scorched earth save... the Poison wyvern has a very special place in my heart and i will always choose it over any other wyvern if given the chance
Design wise Voidwyrm is my favorite, however I agree lightning is the best overall. I actually had no clue the ember does more damage with it's breath the more you use it, so I learned something new as well. Also I just thought I'd mention a suggestion for a video. Since you covered the mod map Fjordur a lot it would be awesome if you also maybe did videos on modded creatures, such as the ones from Ark Additions. All creatures from that mod are such high quality as if Wildcard themselves made it, and they're all very unique both in taming and abilities. It would be cool to see your take on them, like a taming guide of just thoughts on them. :D
And as always cheers for yet another very well done video, you're doing awesome mate!
Let's be honest, we're not surprised that the lightning wyvern is number 1 lol. Though I wish they make it have a pupil and doesn't face downwards when looking at you...
I’m team poison and shocked it’s lower then the fire wyvern especially since tropical are just better fires. Plus poisons are great with synergizing with lightnings.
I know that the fire isn't the most powerful but I just feel bad not using it but at least it's the coolest looking
Top 10 dlc creatures with the addition of gen2
I think that they all have their own uses, but none of the other wyverns stood a chance against the lightning wyvern when it came to rankings.
In my opinion tropical wyvrns are the best cause they look great and are easy to tame
no one is going to use a Voidwyrm to destroy metal spam on pvp my guy and destroying metal and tek with it takes to long
definatley only pve players voted as the posions wyv is on 6#
Gas masks, tek suits and fast mounts: are we a joke to you
Another good thing about the voidwyrm is that basilisks eat voidwyrm eggs
If you are talking about pvp , then we can't say that the voidwyrm is 1st ,this thing is an absolute beast in pvp , the dmg to structures is insane , the base level 285 is even more insane , and the dismount ability is just OP , it is just waaaay better to use , but in pve , the electric wyvern gets 1st place by far , I don't play pvp and that is my opinion , tell me if I'm wrong
U clearly havent played pvp for a long time if u think voidwyrms are the best pvp wyverns
@@amari2509 they are by far the best
@@Ftbl.4hmed how long have u been playing pvp for
@@Ftbl.4hmed meanwhile aimlock dolphins flying at mach two
you don't play PvP lol. Gen2 dino raiding is hilarious man, dinos are only used for soaking & maybe the occasional bob will pop an arthro out to munch a vault but why do that when we have bows that cost nothing or tek rifle/c4 raids
@@APunishedManNamed2 yeah I dont play pvp but that is my personal opinion , tell me if I'm wrong
Ember Crystal Wyvern ❤
Ah yes Wyverns are my favorite creatures. Thank you for this video Raasclark. Fire wyverns are good and all but I'm going to have to go with my favorite as a lightning wyvern or a tropical Crystal wyvern back when I was playing on the crystal Isles I used to farm a bunch of crystals and tame Some Crystal wyverns I even had a pen or should I say a farm for them because it was so much wyverns that I love taming them with crystals and it was pretty cool although tropical wyverns are pretty cool I'm going to have to say I like the lightning wyverns more because they do allot more damage
My favorite one ist the voidwyverm
I just want to say thank you for your videos. You have helped myself and my best friend who are still pretty new to Ark become pretty good players of the game. We've only started playing recently and have really enjoyed the game. Your videos have been very informative and I am in the process of raising a baby lightning Wyvern but its only level 90. I just got a fire Wyvern egg level 150 last night. Of course we are playing on Ark Offical PVE servers but even with the lag we are really enjoying the game 😊
Thank you! 🙂
My favorite normal wyvern is Lightning wyvern because his breath good because he’s the only one can take down bosses it’s also good to defeat The king titan
I like the corrupted but if that don't count it's ember all the way
For PVP
1 Lightning
2 Voidwyrm
3 Poison
4 Blood/Ember
5 Below that it doesnt matter
Can we agree on that?
(Voidwyrms n Poisons are top 1 for FOBs)
I don't know how many times in PVP I gear checked people with poision wyverns, basi's, or just plain gas nades. No one ever has a gas mask on them >:)
dunno why the Devs named them void Wyrms when they clearly have wyvern anatomy
In the games code their called ‘Tek Wyverns’ so they probably just thought void wyrm sounded cooler, and I agree.
@@CRITTER_FROG true but a wrym is a different thing entirely
@@analothor oh yeah your right, they should’ve just called it void wyvern then.
The Lightning Wyvern definitely deserves place 1 on the list
I once used one of those to kill the Desert Titan on SP
So basically lightning wyvern=inferno dragon cr
I think it would be lightning poison blood top 3 blood is super-effective for PVE laudanum poison can be very effective if you're riding it the void worm is not that effective only for PVP where that's even debatable because I have killed one with a lightning wyvern before he even got the shot off and they're not that good for Boss Battles so that sucks the extra levels is nice but the difficulty it is to tame is absurd in my opinion of course Everyone's entitled to their own thing good video have a good one
I agree with the list except I think that the Ember Crystal should be a little higher up there
I like the void wyverns looks amazing and its is OP in pvp in my opinion. I fought somebody once with a mana and got reached in seconds from the void wrm (no not because i am trash lol) and the fact that it can damage all structures just makes it 10 times better for wipes and stuff idk
This is like a wyvern:

The Shant could be the coolest addition to the game since the Amargasaur 😉 we need better Herbivore representation and this would give an Apex Herbivore to compete with Gigas in size and utility.
Even if you've voted for other threads I strongly encourage people to help upvote this to top10 😁😁😁
-i
-i'm a
-i'm a girl btw.
Uwu
my personal list would be
8 - ice wyvern
7 - poison wyvern
6 - tropical wyvern
5 - voidwyrm
4 - ember crystal
3 - fire wyvern
2 - blood crystal wyvern
1 - lightning wyvern
(Rank starts at 2:40)
I for surely get that the lightning wyvern is on top but i personaly think the blood, void and tropical wyverns are better i mean
- void wyvern OP in pvp ( i know for some people he is pretty hard to get)
- blood wyvern tanky as hell
- tropical pretty good for pvp but amazing to go arount the map and easy to get
Lightning is pretty good but just to popular a lot of other wyverns are just as good in my opinion you just need to know how and when to use them
And to finish this of i just wanne say amazing video man and keep up the good work👍
Alright hopefully the halloween forest corrupted brute dodo and alpha variants have honorable mentions... just because they look cool also the queen crystal one cuz its a boss
genesis part 1... has weaker variants during some gauntlet missions
managarmr's are like rock drakes and ice wyverns had a baby
rock drakes and the dragon are confirmed to be related and magmasaur just looks similar...
wonder if theres an earth one.
Deinonychus are also quite similar to rock drakes.. perhaps they are cousins... they are also related to raptors.. making them related to the wyvern family tree if deinonychus are related to rock drakes
Deinonychus are what happens when a rock drake and a raptor have a baby.. like how mangarmr's seem similar to ice wyverns and rock drakes
crystal isles kinda broke the meta cuz crystal wyverns are actually best starter tames
Shadowmanes are my starter tame 🥱
1. Void
2. Lightning
3. Tropical
4. Fire
5. Blood
6. Ember
7. Ice
8. Poison
Im not ok with all of these choice for me all crystal wyvern are superior to the normals ones beceause they are lot easier to control, they have more breath damage, they are smaller and they are faster.
Is the Forest Wyvern forgettable here?
I solo Titans on extinction with my lightning wyvern "Zeus" .. Good name for a titan slayer😉
*My personal List* *(pvp)*
1: Lightning Wyvern -
Shreds tames with good range
2: Poison -
Great base defense and can be used to snipe enemy fobs or even kill enemies off of their tames. Just not as easy to use or devastating as lightning.
3: Blood-
Debatable choice of best crystal wyvern but due to its blood link thing which makes it extremely easy to kill people on foot I put it here.
4: Tropical-
Kind of bias but I hate tropical due to the fact they can use their water boost to escape almost anyone and boost their stamina reduction during fights.
5: Fire-
Slightly better than ember wyvern but not exceptionally good in pvp.
6: Ember-
Similar to fire wyvern it is not exceptionally good in pvp but is good at killing tames once the rider is dead.
7: Ice-
Nobody rides ice
8: Tek-
Haven’t seen enough people pvp on it that I can’t say where it will be.
Idk if you pvp in a mega tribe like I'm in on official pvp, but posion wyverns are easily top 3 in pvp
Ice wyverns are very good..they should be up in top. Tropical has a shitty breath attack but the ice wyvern is deadly if you are solo and 2 or 3 of them managed to slow you down..you are 100% dead. I've killed bloodwyverns and lightning riders with ice wyvern very easy on pvp. Once the player realise he is slowed...panic steps in and you are dead. Ice wyverns are also good to escape from an ambush..just slow your enemies and get out.
haha mana go brrrrrrrrrrr
I can only see ice wyverns working in bob pvp lol.
No one knows the black hole wyvern because I seen it
I was just searching for Different Wyvern Types then your video showed up. Perfect timing dude lol
Nice Video… in order to find voidwurms easy you best concentrate on one side of the lunar biom top of the map or on the bottom end, and whipe the dolphins. For me i found out thats the best way to find them. Good luck all
The poison wyverns breath attack could also sometimes get into a part of a base if you hit the ground. I accidentally killed one of my tribe members years ago by hitting the wrong button 😅
I think voidwyrm ranks only high because it's still newish.
Hey Raas great video! You forgot to mention map limitations, like (according to the wiki) the crystal isle wyverns can't be brought to other maps like Genesis 2 without Admin commands. Keep up the good work!
You cna use crystal wyvern on more than 1 map
Yeah you can uae crystal wyv on any map
I have this idea for the ice wyvern where if you hold the breath attack button it would give you a effect saying "ready to shoot" and release it to spit out a ball of ice that explodes on impact and everything in its radius will freeze for a few seconds. Then just the normal breath attack useing the same button just not hold it down. (To use the ice ball your ice wyven needs to drink water like that modded dino that basically do the same thing)
Me, only camping at beach on The Island:
Interesting.
Im pretty sure that dodo wyvern is the strongest but that isn’t one of the mane ones
People overlook Ice wyvern because most of the time we play alone. If you go hunt alphas with friends and dont have uber rexes or gigas, this wyvern breath is in fact doubling your team dps due to slow the target.
Poison on pve with no friendly fire is the best. U take no damage
The tropical crystal wyverns breath doesnt have knockback nor does it drain stamina, i have checked the files in devkit, 1.) the damagetype for water has inflict impulse (knockback) on live pawns unchecked. And the actual water debuff is coded identical to fire and no where does it indicate stamina drain outside of the description.
Yes it does bruh, it drains stamina. Been a trop wyv main since Crystal Dropped. Still using them rn as my main flyer mount. Whats up with all these people purely reading wiki and not using them themselves. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Recently got myself a full imprint lightning wyvern and I agree it’s the best wyvern
Ewooooooooooo
I would like wyv wouldn't be breadable it's so dumb :/
Wow the lightning been the strongest hmm i felt that lastnight,playing on lost island i took my arg (travis) to the volcano to look some sulphur,all of a sudden this lightning wyvern spawned infront me i try fighting it off at first but after i saw it wasn't bleeding "close to death" i started flying away,arg wasnt fast anyways so he rip a 2nd a hole in me and my arg...Rip Tavis🥺
