The new unique needs a buff

[harsh fiber]

No, not every new Unique needs to be a META monster to introduce MORE powercreep into the game.

[minor wedge]

I know im just saying that it needs a buff to even compete in the game as it only counters SOME cunning and if it has more than 5000 hp then it is useless and all im saying is that it doesnt really feel worth it

[zinc wind]

What are you talking about

It’s currently one of the best Uniques in the game

It can't compete against Apexes doesn't mean that it's bad

[prisma adder]

Hmm...

[minor wedge]

It cant compete with most uniques in the game

[zinc wind]

💀

[minor wedge]

Im standing with this

[zinc wind]

Literally right here

[minor wedge]

It has good attacks but the base stats are SO BAD

[zinc wind]

Imagine calling this bad

[minor wedge]

like use the ampelorex for the example a fierce resilient hybrid sauropod it has way higher damage and way higher health

[zinc wind]

Oops wrong reply

[minor wedge]

Lvl 26 stats

[zinc wind]

And?

[minor wedge]

This is lvl 22

[minor wedge]

It takes so many coins to level it

And i dont have that much coins because im trying to make spinotops

[zinc wind]

Did you ever think the reason it’s bad is because yours is level 22?

[minor wedge]

Lvl 21 ampelorex has way better stats as well and it has no immune resistances

[minor wedge]

My lvl 21 slightly boosted Ampelorex has better stats than this

[zinc wind]

It doesn't need to have a immunity to be good

[zinc wind]

Maybe because it has better base stats?

:mind_blown:

[minor wedge]

Its a sauropod

It should have atleast high health

[zinc wind]

It has 5400 health and 25% armor with 50% shield and 25% armor buff that last for 3 turns 💀

[minor wedge]

Any fierce attack

Any cunning attack gets rid of the dmg boost and 25% of the damage

And since its slow it always gets nullified when its supposed to counter cunning

[harsh fiber]

Seems like a speed control issue.

[minor wedge]

I dont have any speed boosts rn

[harsh fiber]

It's also faster than Ampelorex, if that matters.

[minor wedge]

Ampelorex beats it

[harsh fiber]

Not necessarily boost-wise. That's just a flaw in its kit. It has no way to control speed outside of its rampage (which you probably want to OHKO the opponent with).

[minor wedge]

I beat the spotlight strike with the titanotarkus using my lvl 21 ampelorex

[minor wedge]

So in trade of no speed it should atleast have good health

[harsh fiber]

1v1s are not everything in this game. You can beat something in a 1v1, but if you're crippled or otherwise left in a disadvantaged state (moves on cooldown), then you can be taken advantage of easily.

[minor wedge]

Ameplorex has great counter and devour heal

Titanotarkus has a good counter but everything has rend resistance now

[zinc wind]

The AI is pretty dumb

[minor wedge]

It cant damage ampelo because of brace and ampelo heals

[minor wedge]

Definite counter

So that after a brace them a rampage and its basically already dead

[zinc wind]

So what

[minor wedge]

It suffers the same problem the apex scorpion suffers

[zinc wind]

We all know Ampelorex is better than Titanotarkus

But that doesn't mean Titanotarkus is absolute garbage

[minor wedge]

The scorpion starts at 115 or 116 i forgot so you can speed it up easily but the titanotarkus is 108 so it would take so many boosts

[zinc wind]

I don't know, maybe it's because you have a level 22 unboosted Titanotarkus

So that's why it's dying so fast

But I could be wrong (I'm not wrong)

[minor wedge]

Maybe its because it needs a health buff for a unique sauropod

4000 hp is awful

[zinc wind]

Skull

[minor wedge]

All im saying is that it deserves a health buff because its a SAUROPOD

[zinc wind]

Idk what else to tell you man

Maybe get gud?

[lean beacon]

5400 is quite a lot

if you can get 10k hp you're set, using ampelorex (the picture perfect example of broken) is not a good example

[minor wedge]

This has nothing to do with skill

[minor wedge]

It only gains 1000 hp from lvl 21 to 26 so getting it 10k would be almost impossible

This is what you need for it to be 10k hp

[lean beacon]

having it preset at e1..?

[minor wedge]

Its what you need to make it reach 10k health

[lean beacon]

you know this is possible .. right?

[minor wedge]

Thats with enhancements too

[lean beacon]

yes ?

e1 it has 10k hp

plus the dmg input you're doing is immaculate with protection + tailwhip

[minor wedge]

Thats still 16 health boosts an enhancemment and lvl 30

[crude crystal]

it kinda does at this point

[lean beacon]

yes which e1 is possible to get

[minor wedge]

It takes ages to get coins especially when this week has horrible events and you can only get >100k coins a week

Stat boosts havent been on for days either

[lean beacon]

on a unrelated note this is how much damage this build would do

[lean beacon]

you.. do realize you need 100k coin for e1..?

so you plain out maxing its hp when all it needs its 16 boosts e1 to reach 10k hp is not.. a valid point

[minor wedge]

Dont you need lvl 30 for enhancement

[lean beacon]

didn't they hand out more than enough titano dna for level 30 ❓

carnotarkus has been in the game for centuries so honestly skill issue if you dont have enough dna

[minor wedge]

I have plenty of both

I need coins

[lean beacon]

you problem not the game's problem

[minor wedge]

There is no good strike events rn

Its only the beginning of the week with the spotlight

[lean beacon]

..thats honestly is a you problem.

you're not doing the strike towers (they get you around 10k coin) and then have you collected supply drops?

[minor wedge]

I have max coins on both my drops

[lean beacon]

ok still a you problem

[minor wedge]

How

[lean beacon]

you dont collect the coin gifted out to the strike towers and you say the only one worth doing is the spotlight tower ❓

[minor wedge]

I do all of them

Even if i cant reach them i walk around collecting every single one

But the spotlight strike is the best one

[torpid anchor]

This gotta to be rage bait, go buff Skoona Gem and Ardent and make post for them instead of complaining for a newly released unique that is among the best one

[minor wedge]

ts is not ragebait

[torpid anchor]

Well I'm sorry but it's just skill issue then
It litteraly is one of the better uniques, so I don't even see the point of this post

[minor wedge]

Im just expressing that its in desperate need of a health boost

[zinc wind]

It does not

[minor wedge]

It has horrible base stats and with an enhancement lvl 30 and 16 hp boosts it barley scrapes 10k hp

This is its peak hp

[torpid anchor]

It has 5.4K
Since when is 5.4K bad
Heck every old dino dream of that much hp and a good moveset

[minor wedge]

Yeah old but due to power creep every dino is getting stronger and stronger

[torpid anchor]

And that's why we don't need OP dinos everytime

[minor wedge]

I know but there’s already power creep dinos in the game

Because if every battle you go into you see a gryganth with 8 thousand health and 3k dmg

[torpid anchor]

You know that saying that is pushing you even more in the wrong ?

[minor wedge]

Yes

[torpid anchor]

Well that's it then, no need to explain anything else

[minor wedge]

But with all the op dinos no other dino can compete with them

Like take meta from years ago and compare it to now

[torpid anchor]

If every dino in this game was like Tryko the game health would be much better
Actually counters what it's meant to
Have the stats of its class
Resistances making sense and not being there because why not
Countered by what it needs to

[torpid anchor]

So your solution to powercreep... Is even more Powercreep... ?

[minor wedge]

I agree with you completely but titanotarkus barley counters cunning

[torpid anchor]

Ig we don't see the same cunnings them
Because cunnings in this game suffers from not being able to counter shielded dinos

And idk, instead of making dinos OP, maybe, nerf the oppressing ones, yk ?

[minor wedge]

Ludia refuses to nerf any insane dinos tho

[torpid anchor]

Well we should complain about that

Not dinos not being OP enough

[minor wedge]

Not like any game company listens to their community

[zinc wind]

"Barely counters Cunnings"
Meanwhile:
5400 Health
25% base Armor
50% Shield for 3 turns
25% Armor Increase for 3 turns
Has a turn 2 Precise 3.75x attack that also reduces speed if said Cunning miraculously survived, but even then it has Instant Resilient Strike to finish the job

[pure bone]

In fact, what he counters the most are cunning ones, what he does worst against is fierce oneshoters

[minor wedge]

2.5x

[pure bone]

He's counting the vulnerability or the dmg increase, if you count both........☠️

[minor wedge]

Ludia gives every single dino vulnerability resistance

[zinc wind]

Yeah, I'm counting Vuln

[zinc wind]

Most Cunnings don't have Vuln resistance

[pure bone]

It's crazy how one of the main arguments to complain about ttarkus is that it's not "ampelorex 2.0", but even crazier is the number of people who think so.

[dawn estuary]

I felt the reason you think it needs a buff is because it cant regain it's health, and there isnt any real reason to swap against it
Yes, it gains a lot of armor but, no health. What really bugged me was its second move, feels a little pointless compared to its components

its*

If its too small, I can make the image a little bigger?

[neat lichen]

Bruh you keep bringing up amprex do you want it to be another op top meta broken apex killing beast this don’t justify nothing

[harsh fiber]

I dunno, Trykosaurus can pull some insane bull [REDACTED] with Instant Taunting Bulwark.

It (theoretically) has no offensive weaknesses as its counter synergizes extremely well with its rampage (one removes dodge and applies vulnerability for extra damage, the other breaks shields and devour Heals) and can Fierce Devouring Cleanse away any DoT which might otherwise threaten it.

Its only "bad" matchup (apart from generally OP-er dinos) seems to be pure Fierces, and even then it isn't really too shabby.

Cunnings can barely touch this guy, and Resilients just get mowed down by Fierce Devouring Rampage.

The current Trykosaurus feels very polarizing despite not being particularly META in Uniques. You basically cannot make progress if you can't shatter.

It's kind of like Nodosaurus, with the caveat being that Uniques is just a generally more powercrept playing field that is more than capable of rinsing Trykosaurus.

[fallow summit]

so is the argument here that it's not as good as Ampelorex

[prisma adder]

I never said it was bad.
Just pulled the matchups.
Heck, only losing to 4 things in your rarity is good as hell

[zinc wind]

I said I replied to the wrong message right after 😭

[neat lichen]

Bruh is really saying 10k hp like that’s bad

[neat lichen]

Did you not see the list RIGHT THERE

[prisma adder]

Sorry, didn't saw that one

[sterile nacelle]

Ampelorex is disgustingly overpowered and should not be used as an example- that unique is already top tier.
The actual problem is ampelorex and it needs a nerf

[rigid shadow]

Just saying a level 25 tarkus with little boosts one shots a level 30 max boosted indonemys and basically any apex that has no/little vulnerability resistance and no immunity to armor reduction.

Hell if spinotops swaps in when the tarkus has the decimation move, it dies.

Tarkus is perfectly fine where it is. Leave it be.

[rigid shadow]

In what world is this weak?

[hybrid cove]

It can literally do 11k damage at level 21 (with vulnerable and attack increase with a critical)

[minor wedge]

Practically everything has 75% resistance or immune to vulnerability now

[merry goblet]

Other then not having a great heal this thing looks good

[torpid anchor]

Yeah that's the reason I consider it as balanced, it's basically extremely good against Cunnings and resilient, so against what it should be good at countering, but can't handle pure fierces, since it has no really reliable healing, since devour won't heal too much with few vulnerability being applied, added to its pretty low speed, most fierces can easily counter it, and since Tryko class should be countered by fierces, I feel like it's pretty balanced
Counter what it's supposed to but have difficulties towards what it gets countered by
Wouldn't classify at the same as Nodo, since nodo is pure resilient and is able to destroy shield and put it self even more armor than Tryko, but still being countered by fierces

[rigid shadow]

Bro has a 50% damage reduction for two turns and 4 attacks, this thing will counter a pure fierce, it struggles against wildcards and fierce resilients.

Than again pure fierce are at this point non-existant in the meta.

[true axle]

Was so looking forward to this unique but it is lacklustre. Probably the buff it needs lies in the apex form

[torpid anchor]

Hum... You know we're talking about Tryko, right ?

[rigid shadow]

....... TTarkus.

[torpid anchor]

Yeah but my message was about Tryko 😅

[rigid shadow]

Aaah okay.

[crude crystal]

oh my, look who’s really good in this tournament

titanotarkus

🤯

[rigid shadow]

Oh my look who counters drex head to head, titanotarkus.

[prisma adder]

Oh my look who can beat the Isle of Trials Cerastegotops at level 21 if it doesn't get stunned.
Titanotarkus

[crude crystal]

cough @minor wedge cough

would ya look at that
