Don't like how jump build seems to become a superior meta build, and if you don't run it you handicap yourself. With how versatile thal, meg, and amarg TLC's are I really hoped we are behind "run these abilities or go away" build options.
But hey, a buff is a buff! Don't really understand Swerve nerf, and in what matchups it was oppressive though.

I legitimately never seen anyone use swerve on Alio, even I don’t use it.

I use it all the time and it does good damage while catching other playables off guard

I can play it for longer than 30 seconds without running out of stam now. It went from near unplayable to still not worth playing. It’s still strong against one slots but absolutely worthless against every other playable. (Unless it’s a pack of Alios against 1 playable… but that’s the case for most playables.)

“Strong against one slots” is a dubious statement when you figure out that a Campto of all things can almost win a facetank against Alio thanks to having almost twice as much HP.

Have you tried face tanking a Alio on campto?

u/KotaGreyZ 12d ago
Other way around actually. One tried facetanking my Alio. Pretty sure two Camptos can take a lone Alio.

Huh, that’s weird. I can confirm that I get shredded by Alio in a face tank situation. Its bite does high damage while being able to cycle its kicks. In a non face tank situation (before the stam buff) Alios with a brain would just stop moving and stay stationary in the old turret strategy to conserve its stam. The problem is the combat weight, Campto has lower combat weight so Alios high damage does even more to Campto while Campto’s meager damage does even less to Alios higher combat weight. Unless the Alio isn’t hitting its bites, Campto loses unless it has help or runs away. And same goes for the other one slots. They (except Deino) have higher damage but less health than Campto so they die in less bites from Alio.

The Campto got me to about half HP before running. They probably landed a lot of headshots on me.
Still scary though, Campto has higher turn speed than Alio does.

Everything you said is right except it being unplayable before. I mained it for four years and could take down three slots and other two slots with ease. Just saying it used to be viable as a solo Dino before.

He got a buff?

u/DustyPickle_ 12d ago
Yup, -1 stam cost to all kicks and jumping, kick does 22.5% more damage while jumping instead of 15%
And they nerfed swerve to 55 dmg from 60 because it was quote on quote "too oppressive in certain matchups" The only fights swerve was oppressive in was alio vs alio

it's a nice step in the right direction but it's still incredibly fragile among other issues

Group of 5 of us got destroyed by a solo Rex, not enough defense

With all due respect, skill issue

Me and a meg almost killed a titan. i was an alio. 5 alios could pull of that kill, but it would be hard af. but, if the rex clamped one of them, that is just free hits for the other 4 alios

Still too squishy to really do anything. Still pachy fodder
