Information

The Acrocanthosaurus is a large, playable carnivore in Beasts of Bermuda. It's one of the slowest carnivores in the game, only being faster than the semiaquatic Ichthyovenator's terrestrial movement speed. However, it has a decent damage output and bleed, in addition to its ability, to counter it. It also has the highest health and size. The Acrocanthosaurus is a superb ambusher due to its high damage output. It is the carnivore most capable of hunting the huge Apatosaurus and the swift Parasaurolophus.

Its attacks are fairly straightforward, possessing both a forwards-aimed and a downwards-aimed bite as its primary and secondary attack, which both use 12 ability power.

Special Abilities

• Acrocanthosaurus is able to inflict terrible bleeding wounds on its opponents. Bleeding is a status effect that damages health, comfort, and reduces injury damage and damage the bleeding creature does. This allows the Acrocanthosaurus to engage in persistence hunting, wearing its prey out over long distances while they succumb to blood loss. A skilled Acrocanthosaurus can fell even the largest of creatures, so long as they are not allowed to recuperate.

• It has also an Intimidating Roar, which for 50 ability power causes the target to lose a percentage of its stamina, and reduces its damage output by a percentage, this effect lasts 6 seconds. The effect get's weaker and the ability cost rises if Intimidating Roar is used before a timer of 18 seconds expire, which can be seen as an icon over the affected player. This effect can also stack which further decreases the stamina and damage reduced and increases the ability cost. After the 18 seconds expires, the ability cost of the Intimidating Roar and the amount of stamina and damage which will get reduced resets. The effect of Intimidating Roar can be increased with the also called Intimidating Roar Talent. As an example, 5\3 points in this talent invested will decrease the damage output by 54%. When aiming this special ability press RMB or LMB to cancel it.

Other Facts

• The Acrocanthosaurus is the second strongest carnivore in the EA release, after the Tyrannosaurus. It makes up for the lack of power to Tyrannosaurus with superior stamina, meaning it is able to pursue a wider variety of prey over long distances as well as able to stack bleed on prey.

• The Acrocanthosaurus is capable of doing a small jump that costs significant stamina. It serves the only purpose of allowing the Acrocanthosaurus to avoid getting stuck on small ledges or rocks in certain areas, granting little other utility, although the jump can be improved through the Powerful Legs.

• The Acrocanthosaurus has a very mild amount of weather resistance and must take refuge from intense weather.

• It also has a fast metabolism and must eat regularly to avoid starvation.

Tips

• The Best Trees are Damage And Speed! Survival is good if your a solo Acrocanthosaurus! You can do a mixture of both! You do you!

• Find a pack! You do more damage a group than a solo! And more agile creatures will have a hard time staying at your tail while also not getting hit by your packmate!

• As an Acrocanthosaurus you need to play safe, go in and out of the fight whenever you get the chance.

• Be careful! Acrocanthosaurus is easily ruined by heavy bruisers such as Saichania and Tyrannosaurus . Thus, take care to only engage when they are under the effects of your Intimidating Roar, reducing the injury damage they deal.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Acrocanthosaurus has one of the best abilities in the game! Use it to your advanage!

• Decent speed for a large carnivore of It's size.

• Deals Bleeding Damage, which makes your enemy not heal for a certain amount of time.

• Decent turn radius for it's size.

Cons:

• Incredibly abusable as a solo Acrocanthosaurus.

• Stamina drains fast if no points are invested in the speed tree.

• Weak in 1v1's against other creatures of your size.

• If no points in Nimble Footed are invested Acrocanthosaurus is very vulnerable to small and agile creatures such as Megalosaurus, who if they manage to get behind, easily stay at it's end and manage to evade any hit's there while slowly killing the Acrocanthosaurus.

Trivia

• Acrocanthosaurus received it's remodel along with Kronosaurus in the "Flippers and Fangs" Patch, which got released at the 4th of september 2021.
