What it’s good at

Environmental Travel

Capable of quickly traveling through water and providing Insulation, the Amargasaurus makes a great travel mount.

Mortar Dino

Capable of firing explosive spikes at large and higher distance regardless of the type of spike used.

Harasser

Subverted. Its armor-piercing AoE for said spike easily harasses nearby enemy tribe or wild creatures, causing them to receive increased damage from any attack source as long as the spike continue to be refreshed with new spikes so long as they are not too close.

Damage Support

When its armor piercing AoE affects wild creatures, tames can deal a maximum of 25% more damage affected creatures. In tandem with a Yutyrannus, the armor piercing and courage roar can increase tame damage in dealing 50% more damage per attack. This does not, however, work against Bosses or Titans.

Stunlocker

Perhaps the greatest yet most overlooked feature of the Amarga is its ability to stunlock large dinos with the ice spike. While multiple launched spikes don't stack with each other, a launched spike effect WILL stack with neck attacks from multiple Amargas, provided it's currently in the same mode as the launched spike.

While a spike remains in the tap; sap production within that tap is increased. Spikes removed in this manner regenerate on the Amargasaurus' neck just like spikes that are fired in combat, and no…

Orbital Supply Drop Support

When enabling an Amargasaurus to use its special abilities when the rider is not on it, they can support ally tames based on the spike mode the player sets it to. Them being able to use special abilities without a rider can make their simple attacks apply the burning effect, freeze effect, and most importantly, the armor debuff. This makes it easier for damage tames to kill incoming corrupted creatures and the Enraged Corrupted Rexes. Level up most of its points…

Genesis 2 Dungeon Boss Damage Debuff

Being overshadowed by creatures such as the R-reapers, Rexes, and Shadowmanes in damage, the Amargasaurus when set to the armor debuff spike mode can apply a debuff to all VR creatures, including the dungeon bosses. Paired with players wielding Tek pistols, the amargasaurus can cause a player when wielding an ascendant max quality 296.6% Tek pistol that normally deals 495 rate at 20x damage to increase to 619 damage rate, making the boss fight much easier.
