If the Ichthy is a Raptor and the Megalodon is the Rex, Helicoprion fits into a combat space similar to the Carno; meeting the Ichthy and Megalodon half way in terms of durability, damage and speed.

Basic Info

Appearance

The Helicoprion is leaner and visually meaner than the Megalodon, lined with spines and with a vicious circular-saw mouth.

Encounter

Helicoprion, as with the Megalodon, have an exceptional aggression radius compared to terrestrial predators - capable of sensing nearby potential-victims from almost render-distance. They will often engage upon targets with their Charge attack and are easily capable of instantly killing the victim of their skewering impact. Once in a melee, their circular jaw gores the target of their attacks - giving them a substantial edge; and their spiked body returns damage when retaliated.

Usage
  • LMB.svg Gore - This attack applies a damage over time and reduces the target's movement speed.
  • RMB.svg Charge - This attack causes the Helicoprion to charge in a given direction, with reduced turning capability. The movement speed and damage of this ability rapidly increase over the first few seconds. Stamina is only used to activate, and does not continue to drain while active.
  • W - Capable of moving forward. Turns using facing directly, almost as efficiently as the Ichthy.
Roles
  • Mid-Tier Aquatic Combat Mount
  • Damage-Reflection - The spiked body of the Helicoprion returns damage to attackers, similar to the Arthropleura.
  • Ambush Mount (Charge)
