Shantungosaurus

Shantungosaurus is the largest hadrosaur ever found, weighing in at an estimated 13 to 16 tons! That size alone is enough to deter smaller predators as their meager defenses get crushed when trying to feast upon the Shantungosaurus.

How would you spend the remaining tiers?

Keeping 0 speed tiers (105 speed), these builds use all 26 tiers. Your current level, training and enhancements stay the same.

Health × damage balance

Taller bars mean a higher health × damage score. “Best” maximizes that score at your chosen speed, not your win rate. Abilities, opponents and speed thresholds can favor a different split. Select a bar to try it.

Individual stat ceilings

How these battles are simulated

Both creatures are level 26 with no boosts, enhancements or Omega training. Every unlocked move is available, including low-health variants, with delays, cooldowns, priority and speed order. The simulation applies armor, shields, dodge, cloak, critical hits, critical chance buffs and reductions, damage buffs and reductions, vulnerability, rend, healing, devour, damage over time, stun, daze, resistances and their reductions, cleansing, removals, immunity and counter-attacks. Daze stops the dazed creature's counter-attacks.

Stun, dodge and daze chances are counted as weighted outcomes, not sampled, and speed ties are split evenly. Critical hits count at their average: every hit adds its critical chance times the extra critical damage, so the damage shown in a battle includes that average. Each turn shown follows the most likely roll. Each battle is a fight to the knockout between these two creatures, so moves that swap the user out (Retreat, Rampage and Run and the like) are not used while another move is ready, and a win that can come sooner is taken sooner. Swapping, swap-in and escape abilities, taunt and flock damage limits are not modeled.

Every non-Omega creature is first screened against Shantungosaurus in a quick estimate: up to six turns with a smaller search. The strongest candidates are then played out in full, up to eight turns, and any creature in the full list plays its full battle when you open it. A full battle can disagree with its quick estimate; the full battle is the better guide.

Battles are simulated at levels 26 and 35. When the build above is set to another level, the nearest one is shown and labelled.

These are simulated results, not guaranteed wins. A critical hit that lands, or one that does not, can change a close fight.
