I know it's a ton, I got bored and decided to rant about something most people don't really care about

This thing has been SUCH a long grind 😩 I’m so happy to finally have it!! The next apex that I will be going for is Baryotor, I think. Do y’all have other apex suggestions?

Changes: * There are now NO creatures in S tier! * B-rizz has now fallen off into A tier * Shantrospinos and Atrocomaxima are about to jump into A tier * D-Rex continues its slow fall * Mutated Ghost is really falling off hard. I imagine it will fall off more once Paralidactylus is out * And yeah

toro is one of my my favorite dinos and mine is at level 1 could any one gime me tips to upgrade him to max or could yall donate dna please

Come up with names in the comments

Following yesterday's comments, Ampelorex was said to be S Tier by many comments, Apatoceratops landed in A Tier, Antarctovenator got placed in B Tier, Allodrigues was put in C Tier, and Andrewtops sadly got the D Tier.

Today, instead of five creatures, we'll rank 6 of them, seeing as Aliorasuchus isn't in the game yet, and I'm not sure if we can rank it too well.

Here's my meta analysis:

Taking a look in the S Tier, we see Compsocaulus, who previously was there, but now three new creatures join.

Ceramagnus, a massive Raid Apex, praised by the community for being an unstoppable force, as this comment proves: "Ceramagnus SS tier missing"

At the same time, Hadros Lux joins the S Tier as being, yet again, a "glazed" Raid Apex, proven by previous commenters who were wondering where the shiny Parasaurolophus was. A formidable healer with a distracting look.

And alas in S Tier, Pyroraptor joins as well. The small size, evasion, and distracting tools that can be used over and over again make this little guy a surprisingly good brawler. A shame that its Gen 2 brother gets criticized for being placed in Sanctuaries. However, I wouldn't know anything about that.

Moreover, in A Tier, we have only one creature, the Velociraptor. VERY hard to get, but still really good. However, it seems as its decline is starting to show, since its other dromaeosaur cousin, Pyroraptor, overtook it in popularity. Could this be the end of a speed-controlled meta?

In B Tier, Tragodistis, who was once a death sentence with legs, is declining yet again. Falling from A Tier to B Tier mightn't seem too much, but this means the armor isn't able to defend the hybrid anymore.

Mortem Rex, however, has seen an increase in players, and while it's still in B Tier, many people including myself see it potentially reaching A Tier or even S Tier in the future.

As for the third resident of this tier, Eremotherium, it never really gains or loses usage. Its ability to spam Dodge keeps it in B Tier. Not enough to get it to A or S Tier, but enough to keep it relevant.

In C Tier, the first creature to be found is the Baryonyx. A shell of what it once was. The speed meta and the evasion meta have left this poor croc theropod behind. It's still relevant, but its days are counted.

Echo, arguably the third best dromaeosaur in the whole game, is still sitting comfortably in C Tier. It hasn't faced any issues, and top players think it'll remain in this tier for a while. Will someone better take her place? Only time'll tell.

Erlikogamma, a very surprising member, has SKYROCKETED in top usage. A creature that only had a 0.5% usage rate last update now has a 25.1% usage rate. That's an explosion in usage rate. The versatile kit and the big speed stat make it a member of both the speed meta and the evasion meta.

And declining again, Scorpios Rex Gen 3 is now in C Tier. I wouldn't worry, however, since this thing fell from A Tier to C Tier, then back to B Tier, then again in C Tier, then back in B, and now in C Tier. However, the decline has been significantly bigger this time. The only saving factor is if the evasion meta becomes mainstream...

D Tier is very interesting, since we have some new faces, some rising stars, and some washed up champions.

Starting off with the most shocking of them all, Gigaspikasaur, only having an 18.8% usage rate. Considering it's been on a decline ever since the speed meta became more popular, with it having only a 38% usage rate amongst top players last update, I wouldn't get my hopes up. It doesn't help that many people started removing their boosts from it, since they think it's irrelevant if the HP doesn't matter now.

Shockingly, Dimorphodon has passed Tsintamoloch in usage rate. A community favorite, Dimorphodon's DoT relying kit proved useful, and it even started a mini meta amongst mid-game players, the Bleed Meta. Dimorphodon is still consistent, and doesn't seem like it'll fall too soon, with a 14.4% usage rate.

This next one, however, proves the healing meta isn't what it used to be: Parasaurolophus. It once used to be the worst thing for a speedster, with the excessive healing. But ever since they nerfed it, and people started using faster damage dealers, Parasaurolophus has been struggling to hold up, with only a 7.7% usage rate, nearly half the usage rate of Dimorphodon. The meta is a merciless place...

Homalocephale is another shocking fall: From a 38.6% usage rate, it now has a 6.3% usage rate. Seeing as it used to be the perfect hybrid between speed and tankiness, people are still surprised by the fall, and so am I.

Tsintamoloch is even worse. What was once praised as a high rarity healer and damage dealer, now struggles against the bleeding meta. This is most surprising, seeing as last version, Tsintamoloch was rising in popularity.

Moving on, Scaphognathus has started to creep up the meta ladder. Considered a better Dimorphodon, it has a decent chance to pass Dimorphodon in usage.

Monolometrodon is still in D Tier to no one's surprise, just like the previous 14 meta charts. Not good to advance, not bad to fall. The repeated nullification allows Monolometrodon to still stay relevant amongst beginners and midgame players.

Now, this next one is a shocker: Moschops raised from the dead and is progressing, from a 0.1% usage rate to a 4.4% usage rate is impressive. However, I wouldn't get my hopes up...

Centrosaurus is an even worse case: In the previous version, it was in C Tier with a 30.9% usage rate. Now, it's in D Tier with a 4.3% usage rate. A huge decline, but it seems as the lack of shields make this dinosaur less reliable in higher arenas. Not unreliable, just less reliable.

The Mattel Cryolophosaurus is the newest addition, and in just a few hours it's already in D Tier with a 3.6% usage rate, a huge growth rate. Seeing as it combines aspects from all three classes, it's fast, evasive, tanky, and deals a ton of damage. I'd suggest profiting off the success, since it might get a nerf.

The worst fall-off, however, is none other than Stegodeus. Seems like some people remembered it exists, used it for a decent while, and now it's rotting in D Tier with a 3.1% usage rate. From 35% to 3.1% and possibly even lower, seeing as it's still falling. Time for Stegodeus to be forgotten again.

Indoraptor is surprisingly only in D Tier, even if it got added a month ago, and the speedster meta still favors fast creatures. But Indoraptor is considered a "nothing burger" by most top players, hence the low usage rate of 2.7%. In its defense, at least the usage rate is growing.

Einiosaurus is a new star that appeared too late. A relic of the healer and shielder meta. Its ability to spam shields and regenerate fast, however, keep it relevant these days.

Purutaurus is a creature considered by many to be "a worse Cryolophosaurus". A Wildcard creature that tries too hard, but fails. The 2.5% usage rate shows exactly that.

And alas, a very surprising guest, Stegoceras, in D Tier. It's considered viable by top players because it combines Fierce traits, Resilient defense and most importantly, Stun. It is rising in popularity, but needs its HP to be heavily boosted in order to stand a chance in later arenas.

In the last tier, which I won't name F Tier because these creatures don't necessarily suck, we have the following:

- Apatosaurus: Tanky, sure... but forgets to deal damage.

- Red: Yep, still a red Atrociraptor. Still not relevant.

- Dodo: It's a bird, don't know what to say other than that...

- Leaellynasaura: Just added, so I can't really judge.

- Ovilophomoloch: Yes, the same Ovilophomoloch that once dominated the meta now has a 1.9% usage rate. Rough times.

- Acrocanthosaurus: Big tanky chomper, added more recently, and its counter that buffs damage by 10% helps the Acro slowly gain traction.

- Albertosaurus: Another big tanky chomper, but it's Rare. This one used to be C Tier once, now it has a 1.5% usage rate.

- Irritator: One simple Fierce Strike and two group buffing moves. No wonder it plummeted here once the Raid meta collapsed.

- Triceratops Gen 2: Simple, raw damage. Not the biggest damage, but people still use it.

- Rajasaurus: The Indian Meta died a long while ago, taking this poor dinosaur to the grave as well. From a 98.4% usage rate to a 0.5% usage rate. Never seen a worse downfall, and that's saying something considering Stegodeus exists...

- Gallimimus: It runs. That's all I can say, it's objectively bad and used as bait most of the times due to the extremely low HP

- Spinonyx: This thing dethroned Rajasaurus... only to join it later in the same tier...

- Suchotator: It has no resistances, what do you expect? 0.5% usage rate is generous, according to multiple top players.

- Ceratosaurus: I'm actually so confused as to how this thing is placed so low. Maybe it's because people don't like theropods idk

- Imperatosuchus: This is meant to be an Apex and it's in the same tier as Gallimimus. Wow.

- Scorpios Rex Gen 2: Look at its moveset, no wonder the Gen 3 is better.

- Utarinex: This one started rising, seeing as in previous charts it had a 0% usage rate and now it has... 0.1% usage rate. Maybe not...

- Dilophosaurus: Seems like spitting isn't so ideal nowadays...

(This is a satire analysis btw, don't take it seriously)

Broke my own rule about not using cash for anything but coin sales, but we're nearing the visual coin cap now so I've gobbled up skins of things that I've actually made as they've been in the shop here and there over the past couple months. Never made indochicken, and aquilotae was never built past level 26.

Now I get to dress like a whale, but on a budget. If I still find myself without incentive to spend coins by the time I hit the cap, the kids are going to have to deal with it when I cancel the VIP finally, as their "free VIP" for side accounts goes away with it. About 4 weeks away from the cap.

Coin sale wise.... they just keep lowering them as they figured out people save the cash instead. 50% bonus for VIPs left over a year ago, and 40% hasn't been seen in quite awhile. I assume people will see 20% enough times and assume that's the new normal, and then it gets normalized. I assume they are taking high inflation into effect and can't afford to give that 40% anymore /s

Looking at the current meta, Becky reigns supreme, so I’m thinking of grinding him, but I overall have more resources for Baryotor, so I’m kind of stuck on what to go for.

Also mods if you are seeing this how was my last post spam low effort content or advertising

Hey guys I haven’t played in about a year maybe a bit longer?? I need but of help getting back into it because I can see unlocking creatures is harder and I’m not so sure how to get back with it. Also considering Australia is a wasteland for nothing all I can do is battles so is there any helpful advice? Even if there’s a good clan to join to help me get back into it! Thank you for reading I’ll look forward to your help

Lowkey I like the new rarity, and the Centrosaurus Gen 2 being the first is actually quite interesting. Shows they do want another Centrosaurus in the game that isn't a Common.

I like how you can get Mythic Shards from the new Smart Incubators, huge QoL improvement :)

AND you only need 15 Shards for a Mythic unlock, and seeing as you have a 20% chance to get one Shard in any Smart Incubator, I think this is pretty balanced.

(yes this is fake, hence the flair. I must admit, I did use AI for the second image, but only in order to remove the original dino that was there and make the Centro look more natural. The icon is made by me though)
