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.

Lightning Raptor — Detailed Guide

The Lightning Raptor is a lightning-infused Raptor, one of the Lightning Creatures of Astraeos in ASA. The base Raptor is a fast pack hunter, and this version is stronger and always aggressive.

Where to find it

It spawns only on Therokis in Astraeos.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. Tame a normal Raptor if you want one.

Uses

Corrupted Nodules and a chance at a Corrupt Heart.

Tips

  • Speed: it closes distance fast, so do not try to outrun it on a slow mount.
  • Defenses: turrets do reduced damage and Metal Spike Walls do none to Lightning Creatures. The Enforcer deals four times its normal damage to them.
