X-Allosaurus

Combat Specialist

The Allosaurus can be utilized in a variety of different roles for combat, primarily centred around its pack-related abilities; able to take on opponents and employ strategies that harder hitters such as Rexes and Spinos would find difficult or are incapable of handling. That being said, Allosaurs can still benefit from the added power of their larger counterparts, who might run and hit a little slower, but deal more base damage at once over a larger area, have more health…

Pack Fighter

On its own, a single Allosaur is most certainly outclassed by its larger cousins, but while one Rex, Spino, or Yutyrannus would have an Allosaur at a disadvantage, the tables can quickly turn if more than one Allosaur enters into the fray; as the true strength of the Allosaur lays not in the sheer stomping power of a single individual, but in their ability to hit more quickly, surround an enemy more effectively, and the mechanics of their pack dynamic. When in a group of two to…

Slayer

With a pack of Allosaurs and the ability to inflict Gashed under your belt, this Dino is capable of absolutely shredding enemies that even a group of high-level Rexes would struggle or find impossible to bring down. While the Allo's Gashed already bleeds 5% of a victim's health and slows them to a crawl for every second it remains active, it comes with a truly potent final benefit: Gashed ignores armour ratings. Various other top-tier fighters like the Rex may be able to hit harder, but…

If you want quicker and deadlier bleed damage, Deinonychus can be brought in to support your Allosaurus pack. Its bleed drains 0.3% health over 7 seconds but can be stacked on top of itself up to 5 times.

Carnotaurus's Bleeding! does not stack with Allo's Gnashed, though both effects can be applied on the same target (Allo's Gnashed seems to have priority), but their damage outputs are equal. However, Thylacoleo's Gnashed deals the same damage in a shorter time (over 5 seconds rather than 10) and is preferred by the game.

Alpha-Slayer

Whether it's for getting rid of them as mere pests, killing them for the massive amount of Raw Prime Meat they're worth, collecting their relevant Trophies, or leveling your Chibi-Pets; a pack of Allosauruses makes slaughtering Alpha Creatures a walk in the park, provided you remember to keep hitting them with your Pack Leader's Gnashed attack.

Giga-Slayer

One of the most dangerous and unnerving opponents outside of Boss Battles, taking on a wild, and occasionally a high-level tamed Giganotosaurus, head-on is more often than not considered suicide. Both the wild and tamed varieties sport an extremely high damaged output, but one is much more dangerous than the other. The former is notorious for not only being a heavy-hitter that ignores armor, but wild Gigas, on top of having an outrageously high health pool, are capable of…

Titanosaur-Slayer

With a pack of Allosaurs, A fight against a Titanosaur, wild or tamed, plays out roughly the same, with only a few minor differences. A wild Titanosaur will have no additional armor from a saddle, and no other creatures to really worry about while fighting it. A tamed Titanosaur on the other hand will have the increased armor provided by the saddle and more than likely allied tamed dinos assisting its effort to assault your tribe. Both are a particularly unpleasant battle,…

Golem-Slayer

Due to their incredibly high armor and damage resistances, most tames short of a Giga find the territorial and problematic Rock Elementals an impossible feat to tackle; quickly elevating both wild and enemy tamed Golems into a serious nuisance if they're found in your vicinity. A pack of Allosaurs and their Gnashed ability once again comes to the rescue, and turns a difficult encounter into a feasible fight. For this Slayer target, if there are no other threats to worry about, all…

Deathworm-Slayer

While not a role that Allosaurs are specifically required for, they do indeed make the task of felling the dangerous Deathworms much easier, particularly the Alpha worms. The worms themselves are not as dangerous as Gigas or Titanosaurs, and certainly don't have the same armor as Elementals, but they have a high health pool and deal a good amount of damage. For normal worms, a small pack of Allosaurs will do just fine, though for alpha worms, a larger pack, or a small pack…

Reaper-Slayer

While the only maps they would naturally meet on would be Extinction and Genesis: Part 2, and only then would you encounter the corrupted variety; corrupted or uncorrupted, Allosaurs are more than capable of handling Reapers if they ever cross paths. Normally, the presence of Charge Light is required to weaken an uncorrupted Reaper's damage resistances enough to kill it, but with Gnashed on their side, Allosaurs can completely negate the need for Charge Light. The light buff it…

Enraged-Slayer

During the process of defending Orbital Supply Drops, you will be exposed to increasing waves of dangerous corrupted enemies, some of which can be very overwhelming depending on the Drop's difficulty level. The Corrupted will come in vast numbers and extremely high levels, to the point that even a high-level imprinted Giga can be overwhelmed. None embody this threat more so than the two varieties of Enraged Creatures, which are essentially Alpha varieties of Tek Rexes and…

Brute-Slayer

A similar threat to the Enraged Creatures of Extinction, the Brute Creatures of Genesis are a nasty challenge; boasting similar damage output, health pools, and resistances, creatures that inflict Gnashed like the Allosaur are essentially required. Depending on the Brute Creature in question, bringing Yutyrannus and Daeodon along for the ride are generally a good idea.

DodoRex-Slayer

Killing a DodoRex is a daunting task, can't even be done with couple of Rexes or even Gigas, 2 Allos is enough to slay a DodoRex, its bleed not only just slow down their movement speed, it also slows down their turning speed, allowing Allosaurus to tail riding it with ease, it is recommended to feed them Wyvern Milk before engaging so your Allosaurus won't get killed by DodoRex's burning debuff.

Boss Fighter

While Allosaurs are ideal for slaying various difficult overland creatures as previously stated, when it comes to Boss Creatures, this is where they begin to fall behind the competition of their larger rivals. Since bosses are immune to status effects, Gnashed cannot be applied, and so generally the tankier, heavier hitters like Rexes are better fitted to the role. That is not to say, however, Allosaurs should be excluded from this category. While they might struggle with the…

Caver

Because of the Allo's small hitbox, it is able to access some caves, like the Upper South Cave, and complete them without the use of a Cryopod. For the caves that it can access, the Allosaurus makes an excellent choice thanks to its large size. Since it's designated as a large-class tame, nearly all cave creatures will perceive it as too dangerous to attack, enabling easy travel from point A to point B to reach the artifact. If conflict ever does occur, its health and damage is more than…

Travel

As is the case with all large-class predators, the vast majority of wild creatures will opt to leave the Allosaurus alone, which makes them great for traveling through dangerous terrain in relative peace. They also boast a decent movement speed and weight comparable to a (Level Stamina and Weight). A high-level Allosaurus can also prove to be a very powerful creature, and combined with its speed, travel can be relatively safe as most threats will be manageable. Don't get too ahead of…

OSD Defender

An allosaurus with a rider has a small attack range that can be utilized to surgically take out corrupted creatures that got past the primary damage dealers like Gigas and Carchars and are damaging the drop.
