Full Dinosaur Tier Rankings
| Tier | Name | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Velociraptor | Flanker | 30 credits — Fast and cheap. Excellent for new players who want mobility and ambush potential. |
| B | Carnotaurus | Charger | 40 credits — Balanced mid-tier pick with decent speed and survivability. |
| B | Triceratops | Tank | 45 credits — High health but slow. Best on tight maps where soldiers cannot kite easily. |
| A | Spinosaurus | All-Rounder | 55 credits — Community-recommended first premium buy. Strong balance of stats for Hunt and Survival. |
| A | T-Rex | Heavy | 55 credits — Classic powerhouse. Slow but devastating in close quarters. |
| S | Indominus Rex | Premium Predator | 120 credits — High cost but excellent stats. Strong pick for experienced players with saved credits. |
| A | Indoraptor | Speed Predator | 95 credits — Third-fastest attack speed in the roster with 200 stamina. Excellent Dino War pick for stamina-based outlasting. |
| S | Hydra | Top Tier | 150 credits — Three-headed dinosaur with massive damage output. Use head-wiggle technique for maximum DPS. |
| S | Godzilla | Boss | 200 credits — Extremely expensive but nearly unstoppable. Small dinos can hide under its legs. |
S-Tier: Hydra, Indominus Rex, Godzilla
Hydra sits at the top with 10 damage and 10 health — the head-wiggle technique pushes DPS beyond every other species. Indominus Rex offers speed 7 with 9/9 damage and health at 120 credits, making it the best premium all-rounder. Godzilla costs 200 credits but delivers maximum stats at the cost of speed 4 — nearly unstoppable in Facility and Temple when supported by teammates.
A-Tier: Spinosaurus, T-Rex, Velociraptor, Indoraptor
Spinosaurus is the community-recommended first premium buy at 55 credits — balanced stats for Hunt and Survival on any map. T-Rex trades speed for raw damage and health, dominating close quarters on Facility and Museum. Velociraptor at 30 credits is the best budget flanker with speed 9, perfect for new players who redeem the Beta code. Indoraptor at 95 credits ranks 3rd in attack speed with 200 stamina — the premier Dino War pick for Stadium placement runs.
B-Tier and Below: Situational Picks
Carnotaurus and Triceratops occupy B-tier with decent but outclassed stat lines. Carnotaurus works as a mid-budget charger; Triceratops tanks on tight maps where soldiers cannot kite. Neither justifies saving past Spinosaurus unless you enjoy their playstyle. Skip D-tier considerations — every dinosaur in the current roster sits B-tier or above.
Tier List by Game Mode
- Hunt Mode — Velociraptor for flanking, Spinosaurus for consistency, Hydra for carry potential.
- Survival Mode — T-Rex and Indominus Rex for sustained pressure; Triceratops for holding zones.
- Dino War — Godzilla and Hydra for frontline dominance; Indoraptor for Stadium endgame stamina wins; Velociraptor for harassment.
Map-Specific Tier Adjustments
Small maps boost Velociraptor and T-Rex while hurting Godzilla's slow approach on Facility. Hills punishes slow dinosaurs against sniper and rocket teams — favor Indominus Rex or Spinosaurus with flanking routes through valleys. Swamp stealth favors Velociraptor ambushes. Always read individual map guides before locking a pick.
