Each hit on a node generates resource drops. The game randomly picks a resource from the loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the node faster, which can reduce total drops. The "best" melee is where you get the most drops.

Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.

The Aberrant Manta is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.

At 307 base HP, the Aberrant Manta is moderately tough. Melee starts at 106% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. Its base Stamina of 270 gives it decent staying power. A base Weight of 200 means modest carrying capacity.

This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is AnglerGel.

As a tame, the Aberrant Manta earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Killing a wild Aberrant Manta yields 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.21 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
