What it’s good at

Low Level Defender

Due to it being a pretty good dino in general taming one at the start is a good idea, especially if you are going to live in or next to the swamp, as it is immune (mostly) to leeches. It is also not too hard to knock out so getting these as low level defenders could be viable.(Level Health and Damage)

Taming Mount

With its ability to pick up small-medium animals would be a suitable mount for running in and snatching a quick or before they even notice you, this specially good for creatures that requires passive tame such as , making easier to "trap" without needing to build a cage for it. Unlike flyers, the Kaprosuchus is capable of regenerating its stamina while holding a target and can travel underwater, aside that, its stamina draining attack is very useful due to the fact that wild…

Cave Explorer

Its leap attack allows you to explore caves and pick off Cave creatures easily. Snatching up and killing Araneo with ease (Needs testing for other cave critters). Level Health, Melee Damage, and Speed.

Travel

Its Leap can get you from A to B with relative ease and can be spammed multiple times, but this action consumes a lot of stamina per use (Level Speed and Stamina).

PvP Raider

It can grab Players from saddles with a well placed sneak-attack leap. Allowing you to easily dispatch enemy players, also it cannot be stunned by due to its high drag weight, so the grabbed players cannot be released so easily, this in combination with the rider weaponary feature allows the Kapro's rider to finish him quickly with a couple of headshots of a high quality or . You can also use it to knock out the players with tranq ammo or (Level Health, Melee Damage, Speed, and some…

Water PvP

The Kapro is a good defense against water soakers like or offensive mounts like , being able to grab the riders and drain the stamina, preventing the Tuso to have enough stamina to grab something with its tentacles, in combination with a high quality to finish off the players caught by the Kapro makes it a good alternative option on water fights (Level up Health, Weight and Damage).

Jumping

The Kaprosuchus' leap is effective at covering terrain but can't jump very high.

Escape Vehicle

Even though the Kaprosuchus is a good animal to use in fights and to kill enemies they have amazing speed making them quick on land and in water. With fast speed and ability to jump they can be used to escape from dangerous threats.
