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.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Grand Tortugar as a tamable, omnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Soaker classification.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Health-wise, the Grand Tortugar sits at 1,050 base, making it solidly tanky. With 260 base Stamina, the Grand Tortugar has moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 2250, giving it excellent carrying capacity.

To tame the Grand Tortugar, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Giant Bee Honey for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Grand Tortugar pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 54°C–60°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.64 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
