Survival Tips
Possibly the largest 4 slot, the Acrocanthosaurus is a nimble theropod for its large size and can bite fast as well. It is a bleeder like the Carcharodontosaurus, however with slight differences in abilities that one can unlock. It performs similarly to the Carchar however it can be armored with its Armored Scales hide and its claws are particularly fast and strong for their size.
A balanced playstyle is a pretty good choice, focusing on attacking and defending at the same time, using your great turn radius to evade while exchanging blows.
Just like the Zhucheng and the Carchar playing the Acro as an attacker is a good playstyle as well, it has a quick bite meaning if it gets behind something as long as the Acro stays on them and bites down it will cause damage and bleed over time!
