Manticore
Calculate expected resource yield per node for any dino. Select a node type and harvester.
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.
Compare dino harvest yields from creature corpses. Select a corpse and up to 3 harvesters to compare.
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 Manticore is one of ARK: Survival Ascended's boss creatures, fought in its own arena with a prepared team. It falls within the Boss classification.
Health-wise, the Manticore sits at 100,000 base, making it extraordinarily tanky. Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Its base Stamina of 400 gives it good endurance. Weight capacity starts at 3000, giving it massive inventory space.
Once tamed, the Manticore is a powerful boss creature encountered in a dedicated arena fight. Killing a wild Manticore yields 3000 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
