People think “stats this stats that Rex better than spino”
No get it together idiots
Spinos are way better than rexes cause… well people have already said why and I don’t feel like ripping off of them so I’m just gonna add to them
1: spinos are better for the overseer boss fight cause they are faster
2: spinos are smarter than Rex cause Rex has attention span of a nat
3: spinos are faster than Rex and can easily breeze through animals unlike rexs who would get wrecked
4: spinos can collect raw prime fish meat better
5: spinos are better imprinted than rexes (I 100% imprinted a Rex and a spino) both level one I made rex fight spino and spino won
6: spinos have knockback, rexes don’t
7: spinos don’t waste time roaring before every fight they do

Honestly my favorite dino. As many people have already said, it's a great swimmer, higher dps than a rex when on 2 legs, supersonic on 4 legs especially with hydration buff. One thing I don't see mentioned is that they climb uphill very well on 4 legs. Overall way better than a rex yet still so overshadowed by it. Probably due to bias from JP... Show the Spino more love please
If you’re like me, and you have five of these wayyy before level 71, buy the tannery(on mobile… it’s what I play, so I don’t know if it’s the same way for other versions), which costs forty ancient amber. The journeyman spino saddle is 600 cures, and you usually start out with five hundred cures. You can get two hundred more cures for twenty ancient amber. If you’re not wanting to buy the amber, get an icthy and get all the underwater drops you can, as you get a good amount of ancient amber roughly every other drop. I’m riding my spino, and it’s my favorite dinosaur so far. I’m glad I figured this out, because I did not want to wait.
These guys (in my opinion) are better than Rex’s in every way because they can run faster on four legs, attack faster on two legs, they have a buff while standing in water BUT they’re not perfect for example they lay superior eggs and if you’re using them for bosses they prefer to attack on four legs so they do less dps than a Rex so I would only recommend for bosses if there is water in the arena
DO NOT ENTER UNDERWATER CAVES ON YOUR BELOVED SPINO, YOU WILL GET FLUNG INTO THE ABYSS. Also, make sure that if you’re doing underwater exploration on one to always have them on follow, if you don’t, they’ll fly up to the surface of the water and you’ll drown deep in the depths of god knows where, also probably keep them on passive for this reason so they don’t start attacking something while you drown like “GET BACK HERE!!!”
