FIRST IMPRESSIONS
At first glance, it looks like the changes to Alankydactylus are decent. The resistance changes alone should allow the mirror to end more quickly. Decrease in armor helps some creatures like Dilozorion and Rajadorixis against it. But it doesn't change much for Alankydactylus against Compsovenator. It should still do well against Nominrex and Magnaraptor too. Alankydactylus should fall from High Tyrant with these changes, although we feel it's still a solid Mid Tyrant with our initial impressions. It will take extensive testing to fully understand the impact of these changes and IDGT will be heading to the arena to test it out in PVP soon.
YOUR THOUGHTS
Let us know what you think of these changes to Apex Alankydactylus. Thanks for checking out this article!
Lanky definitely needed a nerf. Seems more balanced now.
I don't think that this is too detrimental for them. The shortened invincibility does suck but most things that go through shields don't hit through alert so it's pretty safe (Funnily enough, Arctocanis benefits HEAVILY from this nerf specifically). Decreasing the damage it takes by 10% isn't that important when you have invincibility, alert, and the fact that Alankylodactylus is already the bulkiest flock creature. The resistance nerfs are mainly for the mirror but will help creatures that don't do the greatest against flocks (Dilozorion, Magnaraptor, Rajadorixis, etc). It'll still have great synergy with Gryganyth but I don't think that Gryganyth will fall from this. Good to see rampant threats being brought back down.
Thank you. Looking forward to seeing it after the nerf on the YT.
