Gathering Abilities
The Alpha Fire Wyvern does not function as a gatherer while ridden. It does not harvest resources from nodes during normal attacks. Its Taunt ability gathers a wide range of plant-based resources at 10× efficiency. This includes Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, Rare Flower, Rare Mushroom, and seeds from all species. It also gathers Wood, Cactus Sap, and Fiber at 8× efficiency.
Damage Resistances
The Alpha Fire Wyvern has a +400% weakness to SpikeWall damage. Spike walls deal dramatically increased damage, making them highly effective in base defense. It is completely resistant to FlameThrower and Projectile Fire damage. Fire-based attacks will not harm it. Explosion damage is also highly effective, dealing +50% more damage.
