Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • Low health pool — vulnerable to burst damage; focus it down quickly.
  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Aberrant Piranha — Detailed Guide

The Aberrant Piranha is the glowing Aberration form of the Piranha. It is identical to the base fish apart from its bioluminescence. It is weak alone but dangerous in a school, because it gets a pack attack bonus.

Where to find it

  • Both games: common in the waters of Aberration.
  • ASA: also Astraeos.
  • ASE: also Crystal Isles and Fjordur.

Taming

It can only be tamed with a Fish Basket, which lets you keep it and release it later. Tamed piranhas do not eat from troughs, and their level is fixed, so they gain no experience. They cannot be bred.

Uses

A source of Raw Fish Meat, and a small water guard for a base.

Tips

Do not swim through a school without a mount. Several bites at once add up quickly.
