What it’s good at

Inner Base Defence

The Arthropluera is a great creature for defending your base from the inside, simply set it to aggressive with turret mode on, and it will start spitting at any intruder and breaking his armor.

Base Defender/Guardian

During a raid, Arthropluera can hold off unmounted raiders with an armor corroding acid spat at against unmounted/ sometimes mounted players, as well as fairly high health before they, say begin planting explosives. The Arthropluera also has the benefit of having acidic blood that causes recoil damage when hit directly. Thus, Arthropluera can play a vital role in raid defense for defending a base, especially in tight quarters where its attacks are harder to dodge or…

Combatant

Though an Arthropluera is incredibly susceptible to projectile damage and is rather slow, this does not mean that it can't be used offensively. Particularly, it is in tight spaces like a base or a cave where it can be deadly. The Arthropluera can use its acidic blood and spit to kill or incapacitate survivors and small creatures with ease. Just be careful to not overload with gear or loot, as the Arthropluera's is quite abysmal. (Level similarly to a defensive role, but with an…

Acidic Damage Annoyance

Arthropluera's ability to corrode and even break enemy armor with laughable ease can make it the bane of an enemy's existence, especially if said enemy relies on their armor to keep them alive.

Level up: , , , and if desired.

Base Destroyer

: Arthroplueras can damage stone, metal, and even Tek structures with their melee attack. While they are rather fragile against enemy defenses along with this same patch (5x more damage taken from Explosives, like that of a , and 3x more damage taken from ranged attacks, like that from a for example), they can be a primitive and cost-effective way to bring down advanced bases once enemy turrets have been destroyed.

Amphibious Assault

Thanks to a lack of an stat, the Arthropluera can stay submerged underwater indefinitely. Though not fast on land, it can move faster when swimming, albeit at a slow speed still but fast enough to out-swim a wild . This can be used to bring in Arthropluera to coastal or island bases for attack, or in certain underwater or water-filled caves. Keep in mind that it cannot regain in the water and has to haul itself on land eventually.
