What it’s good at

Troop support

The inducing roar () of Yutyrannus temporarily boosts the attack damage allied creatures inflict by 25%, and reduces incoming damage they take by 20% each. This can be very useful in massive battles or when fighting bosses.

Intimidation

The inducing roar () of Yutyrannus also terrifies enemy creatures, even when mounted by a player. This leaves them weak to attack from other animals and players in the tribe. The affected creatures will receive a debuff increasing damage taken and reducing damage done by respectively up to 50% and 30%. At full fear, the terrified creature will flee and not respond to commands. Additionally, a roaring Yutyrannus is a terrifying sight, and may even scare off other survivors! Note:…

Snow Cave Explorer

However unconventionally, it is possible to brave the Island's Snow Cave using a lone or mate-boosted pair of Yutyrannuses by bringing them into the cave using a . Therein the cave is spacious enough to, for the most part, allow the Yutyrannus' passage -- with the exception of some waterways where you will likely need to use the Cryopods to move them pass -- and they inducing roar can forcefully exhume denned from repose.

Fertilizer Gathering

Once a wild creature has reached the full fear effect, it will not only flee but it will also defecate in the process. The player is then free to dismount and gather the . Inducing fear on a group of weak creatures such as can easily yield 5-10 feces. In addition, Yutyrannus in a kibble farm will produce more than enough Large Feces for dung beetles to convert into fertilizer.

Hunting

Almost the equal of a Rex by itself and having the ability to buff a pack and make wild ' fight on your side by using the boosting roar on them makes the Yutyrannus one of the best hunters and most versatile mounts in the game. Also, the knock-back from the roar and bite attack makes it unable to be hit by small to mid-size creatures if deftly used.

Taunt

Corrupted Creatures from the Extinction DLC are taunted by the 'Fear' roar, causing them to aggro onto the Yutyrannus instead of running. Affected creatures are still debuffed to take increased damage and deal reduced damage. This can be useful while defending Element Node and Orbital Supply Drop, as the roar can be used to draw hostiles away from the objective. Be sure to have powerful tames defending the Yutyrannus, especially on the higher difficulties.

Transport

Like all the other massive creatures, Yutyrannus can carry a lot. (Level Weight, speed, stamina)

Battle Mount

With the same base Health and only slightly less Damage than a Rex, and a greater speed than an Allosaurus, the Yutyrannus's additional abilities may make it a superior mount for the leader of a large scale battle. However, keep an eye out for more powerful tames on the other side; remember that while its speed and supporting strengths may make it the best mount to lead your forces from, they don't necessarily make it the best choice for dueling with top-end tames, especially…

War Mount

Yutyrannus itself does a decent amount of damage. However, a fight with other large carnivore dinosaur is best to prevent as they ignore the intimidation roar. Due to the lengthy attack animation that Yutyrannus has, it's not strange to lose a fight against a , or a .

Extraordinary Kibble Production

Although the Yutyrannus prefers extraordinary kibble itself, its eggs may be obtained passively and used for production (just like and eggs). This can make Yutyrannus the only creature ever needed for kibbles since extraordinary kibble is effective for taming any kibble-tamed creature, though using extraordinary kibble on much lesser creatures can be very taxing. Do note that if you are going for a Yutyrannus egg farm, only low-level Yutyrannus are required.

Knockout Assistant

Due to the increased damage taken by creatures a Yutyrannus intimidates with its roar, said creatures can be knocked out faster and using less ammunition. Can also be used to stop a small or mid-size carnivore from fighting back while you apply torpor to it, allowing for unconventional KO methods such as clubbing out a Carnotaurus after luring it into a taming pen and scaring it with a Yutyrannus.
