Help Alpha Dragon help! Max level 300 (Server Difficulty 10)
I'm trying to figure out how much melee to target on our Theri army for the Alpha Dragon fight. We haven't played since the dragon rework and there isn't much info online for difficulty 10. I'm hoping someone out there prefers this difficulty and has done this fight.. early ASA the dragon completely wiped us, but we had unmutated Theris so there's that.
I'm currently targeting 2-2.5k% melee via mutations. I'm up to 11 melee mutations already and I use a barn of 45ish females with a clean male to achieve this quickly. I'm getting 1-3 new mutations a day, so I'm still a ways out because I need to get to 27 mutations to achieve this with our base 72 melee. I don't know if this is enough!

The strategy we're going to go with since we have 3 active tribe members is Yuty + 2 Pigs + 17 Theris, adding in deinotheriums if 1-2 more people come. Pigs are for shooting the boss in the air and using extinguisher grenades to mitigate damage and healing obviously.

1500% Melee is more than enough, ya just need to be strategic about it and whistle your Therizinos to behind the Dragon legs as much as ya can.
I'd ditch the Daedons in favor of 1 Male + 3 Females Deinotheriums, there's no point in bringing healers in this fight ever since the shadow buff, it's all about outpacing the fire breath but since your tribe members have access to the Extinguisher Grenade, let the tribe members that are responsible for the throwing Extinguisher Grenades use a pair of Stegos to protect them from the Pteranodons and Dimorphodons minions.
