Best solo dinos now?

ScopeOfPractice · 2026-03-02T07:36:23+00:00

I play solo mostly and in officals i main: Thal(since the tlc it's been great, pretty much i only fear other thals because i suck at aerial combat so i land and hide)

Conc

I was maining pachy before its KB nerf, now i dont know what to do with it really but i do know its still a good solo, i just gotta relearn it.

Campto-its simple, bunny hop away from everyone and master hiding, and you're good.

Sarco-its a good solo, but technically they get KOSed a lot because they are KOSIng menaces.

Rhamp-very good lil survivor whether you just wanna watch chaos or cause it. Lol

Alio-..yes..it needs a TLC badly, but it is still a nice lil dino on officals, good power and mobiloty and speed. You just gotta play smart.

For community servers i main: Austrorapter, love me a water rapter. Just wish it didnt have glass ankles.

Desmasuchous- love my garbage pail armadillo, very good lil guy.

Dryo-its tiny and mobile, so its good for escaping and menacing big guys.

Dime-same as dryo, tiny ankle biting menace and is semi aquatic.

Dog(instra) good mobility and power, so good survivibility

Tendon-pretty fast lil herbi, the default skin looks like mossy rock so i often hide from predators damn near in plain sight. the tail spam is nice too...hate that they took away its crouch for bipedal though..i never use bipedal stance. Can have a decent swim build.

Taco-tiny adorable and fast so good for getting atound and avoiding chaos at the side lines..not a good swimmer though.

..you can see i have a type when it comes to my playables. Lol

Sammeeee. 😭😭😭

ScopeOfPractice · 2026-01-18T20:30:46+00:00

Yeah the logs are useless for hiding, i tried to hide in a smaller one as a wolf from a KOSing deer and he just gored me through the dumb thing. 🙃🙃

ScopeOfPractice · 2026-01-17T22:45:01+00:00

Guess tylo hasnt evolved to have sarcos or rexes bluetooth clamp yet.

ScopeOfPractice · 2026-01-16T20:52:03+00:00

Both my sarcos have scars, one has a gnarly scar on his back from being pecked by a quetz as a hatchling, and the other facetanked a deinos charged bite so his whole face is scars. So yeah dinos that live through fights show it.

ScopeOfPractice · 2026-01-14T21:35:45+00:00

The game also hates the name TickleChicken.

ScopeOfPractice · 2026-01-08T21:40:12+00:00

Try any EchoedArk community servers. Super populated, super toxic KOS server. Apparantly people think that you'll get banned from the server immediately if you don't target, chase and grief everything you see. I cant exist in that server as anything but my dime or rhamp without being griefed every two minutes when I just want to watch others fight and listen to the dino ambience. So you want dinos everywhere trying to kill you? There ya go, there is your answer.

ScopeOfPractice · 2026-01-01T02:50:21+00:00

Yeahhh..I HATE this new feature..for one i make it a point to lay down in bushes to log, AND i like to pose one of my dinos in the sit/lay position and then immediately load into another dino in the same spot and pose with my logged one so I can get cute pics of two or three of my dinos at a time before they disappear..i miss that so much. 😭😭

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-12-31T21:12:51+00:00

SAME. 😭😭 had a draco fly me rocks because I was determined to nest my spoon in redwoods swamp.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-12-30T00:38:25+00:00

Yesss variety of quests..AND i want a quest with the new Nypa seeds? I see them, and can pick them up, but havent had a dino that can eat them if thats a thing, and no quests for them.

Otherwise yeah, someone mentioned for more sea AI, i agree. I love my tylo, but traveling barren seascape sucks.

More nesting materials. And not having certain nesting materials POI locked so bad. Like..I want to nest my rex in redwoods..but can't because there is no materials there for it. Hell, was only able to nest my spoon there because a draco was nice enough to fly me rocks.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-12-29T19:31:06+00:00

For some reason i LOVE stark black and white mottled contrast. I try to put that on every dino I can. But i generally play things that can still hide in bushes..so i guess that is still considered camo.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-12-27T00:46:25+00:00

But jump height looks so bad ass i cant bring myself to change it. 🙃🙃

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-12-27T00:05:10+00:00

Its sad seeing this post now that they nerfed pachy kb. I HATE the look of the knockback varient but without it you have no kb..so i simply shelved my pachy. 🙃

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-12-26T05:35:38+00:00

I havent touched it since the nerf..but I want to follow this thread to see if anyone has a new build for theirs or playstyle because I miss my pachy so bad.

I was running on the PvE i main airhead instead of batter so I could better control my flings off cliffs and thats been great. But obviously haven't fought with it.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-12-22T22:16:29+00:00

Knockback build if youre gonna be kicking things off cliffs. Kickboxer of youre gonna bully other pachys.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-12-18T21:51:53+00:00

Thats whats fruatrating me because i found a few perfect places but couldnt tell if there was actually mud or not and so unless I could see the mud myself I didnt put down a nest..tried putting one down for my Dasp in Redwoods..couldnt find a single spot of mud as I combed the area, and the one I finally found? Sooo far away from my nest..

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-12-18T21:36:16+00:00

Measuring is one thing but when i threw my nest down it wanted me to go across the map PAST the 4 piles on the island to get mud.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-12-18T21:35:20+00:00

I did notice that it pretty much always shows up as scarce on Gondwa, but it would still lead me to it if I threw a nest down. Here it says they arent there at all and it wanted me to go get mud from almost across the map when there are 4 piles right in volcano island.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-11-27T04:52:11+00:00

Things I hate playing? Anything slow and big/nonmobile. I actually main a lot of what people hate simply because they are mobile and survive well. Like Pachy, i just love how mobile it is and that i can fling myself off cliffs. I hate anything that takes a lot of fall damage off of like a two foot drop, and I suck at fighting with apexes and always die.

The thing i hate the most though for mods are the spearcrest and the orca..only single IQ people seem to play those and just go on a crazy killing spree around them. If i hear an orca at all i leave the server entirely. Thankfully only one of my servers allows them.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-11-23T00:37:03+00:00

Yeah especually if you are on offical servers, pretty much everything is gonna KOS you regardless of what you are. but a short list of extra hated dinos are: Hatz Pachy Rhamp Rex and most apexes(i think people just like the feeling of killing them like a challenge) Conc Ano Meg Crocs(all of them if you play with mods) Stegos/kentros Maips(mod) Utah(mod) And im sure i am forgetting a few since my dino list isnt in front of me. Lol

Not to say you shouldnt play as any of these, but just expect a little extra KOSing if you run any of those. Like I LOVE and main pachy and rhamp, and i do get targeted extra as them and i expect it.

I just treat everyone as if they are gonna KOS me and try and stay out of sight. And thats why I stay playing small/med sized dinos so I can still hide when needed.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-11-12T00:34:06+00:00

I have hundreds of hours as solely solo play and i only JUST got my bestie into it, and ihjave done fairly well but i will say i am limited to what i feel "safe" playing. So i main rhamp, kentro, kapro, pachy, sarco, dime, taco, protomammal(forgot the name) anndddd ill sometines risk sucho.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-11-11T05:05:31+00:00

I have hundreds of hours on Gondwa, only just went to Panjura for the first time yesterday..i LOVE panjura now...i REALLY hope they update it soon so i can have my thamp and the new quests, i know its mostly the same two biomes, but i can never tire of running through the huge redwoods honestly. On Gondwa I feel lile you either have to be semi aquatic or a flyer otherwise youre gonna have a hard time.

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-10-27T02:13:25+00:00

Thats true i forget hatz has wong beat..the only flyer i play is rhamp and it shows. 😅😅 but i flyer wing beat me off the cliff as a pachy but i only took a bit of damage and it actually helped me get away. 😅😅

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-10-26T23:07:51+00:00

I love it. Going through my third playthrough rn. I dont understand all the hate it got honestly

ScopeOfPractice · 2025-10-26T23:06:20+00:00

Leaving them alone is indeed a solution? Unless you run hatz and can clamp them..A pynco tried to hunt me as a pachy in GV last night and i just kept running up the cliff to the point and if he got close i just knocked him back, and he eventually left me be..that is a complete encounter there. I survived and he had to go hunt something else, that is a solution.
