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 VR Mantis as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.

The VR Mantis has 275 base Health - on the squishy side. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Stamina sits at 150 base, providing moderate endurance. A base Weight of 220 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 Deathworm Horn.

As a tame, the VR Mantis is a versatile tame with a balanced stat spread, useful in a variety of roles. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 35°C–38°C temperature window. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.79 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
