bigfishrob Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 So a friend has some ankys.... very much likes his ankys and thins the world of them. Got this wild idea to do a brood boss fight with them. about five of us said, sure we got nothing else to do lets go watch some anky slaughter. Well. we pulled the boss and charged in with 19 anky's and a yut. we thought they would take more dmg than they did. they had 20k hp and about 500% melee. We beat easy brood on official pc pve with 10 mins to spare without losing a single anky. in fact no anky took more than maybe 2k hp. We laughed our butts off. So for the knew meta..... Anky Army on brood. gonna try medium i think next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorium Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 The thing is bosses are actualy kind of weak right now. You can do gamma broodmother with tamed rexes, no breeding needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouSpowells Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Ankys have been my secret weapon for a while now. Gigas and Allo packs munch through them more easily than rexes, but every time I've been raided there's always at least one anky and one doed left alive...and it's always the same. I find the Doed curled up in a ball in the base, and find the anky way out in the middle of nowhere with some gear and a few implants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very underrated dino, imo. You can probably bring 18 boss ankys with good saddles, fill them with cakes, and 2 riders on yuty and healpig to support the herd. And that composition will do just fine at higher difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YUSHOETMI Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I'm gonna have to try this with a herd of boss phiomias, have some decent saddle bp's sat at base just need to get the breeding down. Was gonna try and breed some genetically mutated ovis of death but i doubt they would last long without a saddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyUncool Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 As a fellow anky enthusiast of your tribemate, I just have to ask what the base stats of their ankys are? I'm breeding ankys myself only to get a super anky in general, but this thread has given me another set of goals. ANKY POWER!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i dont think you'll be able to drown the boss in the fertilizer component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that composition will do just fine at higher difficulties. Let's not go overboard and praise it as the next holy savior because they will not do great against the higher difficulties. Trust me. The bosses weren't nerfed utterly into the ground after all. They were adjusted. Beta will still be a bigger challenge than the very easy Gamma mode and you won't even do half damage to her at Alpha level before your army is dead. Ankys have near the same damage as a Rex but more than half the rate of attack. That means the world in a boss fight. Let's just keep the meme going with Anky power at Gamma level but don't over do it and make it into a serious conversation in higher difficulties unless you of course provide the video proof. I shall bend the knee if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
