Information
Carcharodontosaurus is a large, carnivorous theropod rivaling even the Tyrannosaurus rex, placing it firmly within Apex status. Carcharodontosaurus, or "Carch", for short specializes as an attrition fighter, meaning its most favorable matchups involve hunting targets that match or exceed its own size class. Its size and stats present a comparatively weaker package than the Tyrannosaurus rex, seemingly making it the weakest member of the Apex roster. However, Carcharodontosaurus possesses a powerful tool up its sleeve in the form of a roar ability called Voracious Roar.
When activated, Voracious Roar grants Carch a stacking, rapid heal‑on‑hit, overtime buff effect. This gives Carch the potent ability to function as a DPS check against its opponents, shaping its entire game plan around rushing in, building stacks, and retreating to recover quickly. This maneuver, however, also places Carch in a vulnerable position, as the risk of dying with low Voracious Roar stacks and no escape plan is present. This demands a degree of finesse and timing to determine when there's a solid opportunity to initiate that first brawl.
To further simplify Carcharodontosaurus’ design, Carch largely follows the concept of snowballing:
- Snowballing is a phenomenon where early advantages such as kills, resources, map control, or objective gains progressively amplify over time, providing one side with increasing leverage over the opponent. This creates a feedback loop where the team or player with the initial advantage becomes stronger, making it increasingly difficult for the opposing side to recover.
With that in mind, even though Carcharodontosaurus is statistically the weakest among its competition, it has the potential to snowball into one of the most formidable opponents by intentionally seeking out and leveraging early advantages amplified through Voracious Roar.
Conversely with such powerful potential against opponents of its own size class. Its worth mentioning that Carcharodontosaurus is the most vulnerable apex against smaller & more nimble opponents. With having a substantial lack of reliable options & actions to defend its vulnerable flank thanks to its poor turn rate & model flexibility.
