Griffin998 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Well, both glide. It's a question that's been on my mind for a long long time. Which is better? I'd guess the rock drake is better in confined spaces, since it climbs and can launch itself, but maewing is better for open air travel, because s p e e d.

Griffin998 Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Personally, I prefer the Rock Drake in terms of utility. It's fast, it climbs, it's powerful, and it's also pretty. It can also hold two people, and is more prestigious because of the difficulty associated with obtaining one. But the Maewing's rather adorable, and it's also much faster (in open air anyways).

prosans Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 i like both and the maewing take the cake tho its fast and has funny belly flop attack  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetErosion Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I never really traveled with a Maewing. I suppose its a good traveler, but Id go with a Drake all the time since its capable to do more than just travel, its a lot stronger so it can attack stuff and all. Even though their weight is about the same I think, the Maewing should just stay at home and take care of the babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can also transport babies really well, since it also acts as a food trough. It's like a gliding procoptodon, but better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyBear Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 It just depends on the map. If I was on the Center, I would have more fun with the drake. If we are tooling around on The Island, The maewing would be just as good.  But I'd say both can be outclassed for speed by a gasbag pumped w/ oxy and run speed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoold up-you can pump speed on a gasbags? Okay then. But then, a mana would outclass a gasbags again, right? Speed, attacking power...not sure about it's weight though. Gasbag's weight is phenomenal.

Griffin998 Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Very interesting. I would've expected that the rock drake would be a little lower than the maewing, but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CervantesMor Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 note of merit for Maewing: he is also underwater, even quite fast.. obviously the choice between the two depends on the specific use, if the question is only for traveling then Maewing and RockDracke is a good challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Â they can be super fast and their speed and distance traveled rivals a mana if you spend the points for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakes are generally the best creature to face off against reapers with. What happened? Did you maybe get knocked into the element? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyBear Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 8 hours ago, prosans said: it was not it was on a cliff eghe Sounds like it took fall damage while being ridden. If one is knocked off a ledge like that, they need to switch it to glide mode before landing or it will take fall damage.

Griffin998 Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 Oh yeah, that's right. Pretty sure drakes take damage when they switch to regular walk mode while climbing (something like that, it's been a while since I read the wiki article).

If you got some solid altitude on the maewing though, it's speed is nearly unparalleled by any creature in the game, aside from maybe a mana, since it's literally got rocket engines on it's feet.

St1ckyBandit Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Maewing and its not even close. Only place Drake wins is aberration just due to the nature of the map. Maewings have more utility and are much more well rounded, despite being infinitely more easy to obtain. Drake might have more raw power, but dont sleep on a high level Mae with a bit of melee pumped. It's belly flop actually wrecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakes do have the upper hand in combat, but when it does it, the belly flop is super powerful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin998 Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Oh wow. It's fifty-fifty! Maewing is tied with Drake apparently. Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
