Against my better judgment, I decided to step back into the arena earlier and bam! Level 24 Utarinex in my face!!
How would you counter something like that? The game picked my weakest/slowest dinos again: Tryostronix (I’m starting to hate her), Allosinosaurus, Trykosaurus, and I can’t remember the 4th but I have no nullifying dino in the mix . This person also has a level 24 IndoRaptor to top it off. I did manage to win but I sure don’t remember how that happened now.
I choose Stegodeus or Monomimus (if you are not too much bad luck)
Monomimus use district in first turn, then dodge > 1.5x nullify
If Utari didn’t use impact and run, and your Monomimus didn’t got hit too much times, this would work.
In Stegodeus, use shield in first turn.
Because mostly if you choose Stegodeus, they will use priority stunning in second turn.
You’ll got 75% chance couldn’t do anything in 2nd turn.
In second & third turn, choose thagomize > 2x rampage.
The game didn’t choose my Monomimus or Stegodeus. It’s strange because 8 out of 10 times these two won’t get chosen, so many a times I’ve had to face IndoRaptor without nullifying dinos
Should I consider leveling up Erlidominus as a counter?
It was about two hours ago. I remember how I won now. In the end, it was Tryko vs Tryko. I had a level 26 and they had a level 21, my Tryko was down to 400 health (because she also took a beating from a level 24 Utahsinoraptor), their Tryko put up the instant invincibility shield and I finished them with defense shattering rampage.
I’ve got pretty limited candidates to work with at the moment to counter Utarinex I want to level up my own but 4 rare scent capsules in Zone 2 gave me nothing but one of the raptor squad members
Spinotasuchus works well with DOT and critical impact. You do run the risk of utarinex doing an impact and run and having a dino with superiority strike come in though…
I’ve always found that Stegodeus and Megalosuchus to be pretty good counters. But that also took a good bit of trial and error to figure out what works and how vs what people normally do when playing Utarinex.
@Tarbosaurus - I’ve found using Thagomizer to open with Stegodeus works much better…at least it does for me. Since they can’t get around the show, yeah, you’re going to take that full impact from the stun, but that’s pretty small in compared to keeping the speed advantage over Utarinex, imo.
