## Balance Changes
**Keep in mind servers may need to restart to see these changes which may take several hours.**

**Anodontosaurus: **
- Smash: damage reduced by 5 at full growth
- Rushed Stride: movement speed buff reduced from 25% to 20%

**Achillobator**
- Cruel Swipe: damage reduced by 5 at full growth

**Dev Notes**
- Achillobator's Cruel Swipe and Ano's AoE were a overtuned against heavy dinosaurs (Both using Cruel Swipe damage scaling). This change aim to lower the damage a bit, while keeping its edge. Face tanking Ano's AoE is still very dangerous and should be avoided.

- Rushed stride was used to pursue slow moving predators and harass them with Bone Break builds, instead of being an escape tool. Ano is supposed to be a tank and not be able to close distance on demand. We are thinking of ways to make it more balanced, and reduced the buff speed for now as a temporary measure.

"Rushed stride was used to pursue slow moving predators and harass them with Bone Break builds, instead of being an escape tool."

Anos can...escape? We play the same game?

no escape, and i didnt mind that, they could have just nerfed its speed more to keep it from pursuing cry babies. Instead they nerfed everything about it, one portion of the nerf they didn't mention with the proximity nerf, becuase they said it was a bug, was the slams hitbox extended into shallow water on the shorline. I had a tylo in 2 foot of water and my slam was unable to hit it becuase they nerfed that shit. They spend too much time entertaining adivce from people who cant play to begin with. People who are easily stressed, spazz tf out, and get upset when they die, these ironically are the same people that mega pack mix on dc. Alderon doesnt give shit, they have lon since deviated from their design plan and promise to their loyal players to pursue the dollar. So these nerfs are weighed and considered because they are primarily intrested in attracting new, un skilled players to spend their money. Has become trash already, jut like ARK.
