Overview

The Kronosaurus is a playable aquatic creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It has incredible short-range dashing speed, making it a profound ambush predator. However, since its sprinting speed is very mediocre, it's not good at chasing.

Nonetheless, it is regarded as one of the strongest predators in the game, as it can instantly cripple its prey with a single lunge, lowering their mobility and preventing escape, all while the Kronosaurus continues to slowly maul its victim with its bites.

An adult Kronosaurus will hunt anything in the water, from Mosasaurus to Elasmosaurus, to even terrestrial creatures who decide to take swim.

Abilities

• Primary Attack: The Kronosaurus performs a slow, but very powerful bite. This attack costs a high amount of ability power.

• Secondary Attack: Upon holding down the secondary attack button, an icon appears on the screen resembling an empty bar, which begins to slowly fill up; The Kronosaurus is preparing to lunge for massive damage! The more the bar is filled, the more damage it will do when unleashed (maximum charge is indicated by a flashing blue color). Upon letting go of the secondary attack button, the Kronosaurus launches forward, severely damaging and injuring anything it rams into along the way.

A charge will automatically be unleashed if ability power runs out while charging.

Tips

The Kronosaurus is the largest creature with access to the Elusiveness talent, which lets it become almost invisible to other players at the cost of ability power (60 ability power at stage 1, which decreases by approx 10 for every stage upgraded). Kronosaurus players favor this talent, as it eases the difficulty of growing a juvenile Kronosaurus in the midst of predators, as well as serving as an ambush tool once adult stage is reached.

Weaknesses

Kronosaurus, as with all other aquatic creatures in the game, suffers heavy mobility loss as well as comfort drain when beached. Additionally, the Kronosaurus is considerably slower than all other aquatic creatures in the game.

Lastly, and most importantly, it is one of the most vulnerable creatures as a juvenile, as it is both weak and slow.

Additional Notes

• Not too recently, the speed of the Kronosaurus was an issue. Though its sprint speed was slow (as intended), its ability power regeneration was very high at older stages of growth, allowing the Kronosaurus to continuously use the lunge ability with little delay so it could catch up to fast creatures. This is no longer possible due to an ability power regeneration nerf.
