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 Lystrosaurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Support category.

Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. Starting at 90 Health, it's extremely fragile. Stamina sits at 100 base, providing tires quickly. A base Weight of 90 means minimal inventory space.

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 Rare Flower.

As a tame, the Lystrosaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 0.5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.33 Element plus 0 Element per level.
