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.
Special Abilities
- Acrocanthosaurus is able to inflict terrible bleeding wounds on its opponents. Bleeding is a status effect that damages health, comfort, and raises injury damage. 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, similar to the Parasaurolophus, which for 50 ability power causes the target to lose a percentage of its stamina, and reduces its damage output by a percentage. The effect continues to stack as more roars are used. This effect lasts 18 seconds and then expires, resetting the cost of the Intimidating Roar and the amount of stamina lost.
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.
- 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 speed or damage tree is viable
- A pack of Acros can kill big dinosaurs like Rex or Apato
Pro's and Con's
Pros:
- Group of acros can use their ability to de-buff rex and drain the rex's stamina complete and reduce the rex's damage by 33%. allowing the acros to kill the Rex.
- Really strong in numbers
Cons:
- Weak as solo
- Skill dependent. If you chose the combat tree you are significantly slower. If you chose the speed tree you are faster but will have low damage output and ability power drains faster.
Trivia
Prior to the game's early access release, there was a very powerful Acrocanthosaurus known as the Demon Acro, which patrolled the temple on several retired maps. It was extremely powerful and guarded the secrets of the temple. It has been removed from the game.
