Top 10 TANKS in ARK Survival Evolved (Community Voted)

the tanks in ark survival evolved there's a few of them all taking that reduced damage soaking up those bullets and taking the heat in the heart of a fight but which is the best tank in ark you're right kids it's raz clark coming at you with another top 10. community voted by you as per my polls here on youtube before we begin there's a few things to state about tanks that their ability to tank and receive damage is going to be magnified on what saddle quality they're wearing if they're tamed or bred with a 100 imprinted bread creature offering an extra 20 health if they're ridden a rider imprint bonus offers a 30 resistance boost and if their mate boosted putting a male and a female together in close proximity offers an additional 33 percent resistance and finally other creature buffs such as a ut courage raw offers an additional 20 resistance buff making the following in this list a lot stronger than my tests might make them appear to be don't forget to like subscribe share around and let's get into it in at number 10 the kakinas the crab spawning originally on aberration and also now spawns on valguero and crystal isles it's certainly overlooked as a tank and i can see what this just made the top 10. tamed with a catapult it has a 0.8 resistance against normal and heavy turrets allowing it to tank to some degree however it's very poor against tech turrets them alone pushing you around the place as well as dealing a decent amount of damage but it has to be said the kakinas has the ability to easily leap away due to its giant jumping ability and don't forget it can triple up with any handheld tanks such as stegos or turtles increasing that tanking potential in at number 9 the diplodocus spawning on all maps bar scorched earth and genesis and why originally this was one of the best tanks in ark but has since been nerfed quite a bit however passive times with berries it doesn't have any reductions against turrets but does have a high health pool it has the inability to attack but can push its foes back away from it and is a large big creature so you can use this for cover whether shooting or pushing behind it or even its dead body acting as a giant shield and don't overlook it being very fast enabling you to charge at turrets with it but don't attempt to ride it as any player only turrets will take you down no problem in at number eight the giant turtle megachalon spawning on genesis and passive tames with a microbe swarm a late addition to ark but my word what an addition and i'm not surprised to see this in the list it has an extremely large health pool resistance to projectiles on its shell and is a monolith that can encompass bases making it easy cover better yet can be built onto battle from and shoot from but it does have a huge weakness it's incredibly slow if you're taking on a giant turret wall especially against online players you might not even make it to the base in at number seven the trike spawning on all maps but scorched earth and can be knocked out the normal way and don't forget the tech variants on genesis being higher levels and therefore higher stats it's the early go-to tank being an easy time with a great health stat and why is it such a great tank because the head of the trike takes significantly less damage and is great against both heavies and tech turrets protecting your rider which you can use to hide behind its head and take a few shots from and of course being a small creature is good for caves in a number six the og tank the turtle spawning on all maps but se and it really was the og tank back in the day you could walk up to any turret and not get shot off that turtle which made them so opie back in the day however they got nerfed since then but he's easily ranked quite high on this list because it's the easiest tame to raise on this list with a high hp pull which is great to make it a throwaway soaker with reduced damage up to 80 percent on its shell throwing them against turrets wave after wave can be a great effective tanking method and they also provide good cover in caves but as i started out riding these will result in failure you will get shut off immediately so don't attempt that just throw them in and let them do their business in a number five the gas bags spawning on extinction and i can see why this made the list and so highly too it's tamed via the normal knockout method but don't let it squishy look fool you because when at full inflation can take up to 80 percent reduced damage to all turrets so make sure you're pumping the oxygen and that stamina as well as the health to make an overall decent tank sadly there's a few cons to this if shot in the head will deflate instantly so always back up towards your turrets and if you're against tech turrets you will get blown away so this is only really effective against heavies but still a fantastic overlooked tank in at number four here it comes the titanosaur spawning on the island center scorched earth rag and crystal oils and is the most difficult and expensive tame on this list requiring cannonballs and a lot of patience but can be cheesed with a mech apparently and it's only temporary from saddle placement having 16 to 20 hours unofficial and you can't level it but and there's a big but as to why this is so high on the list it has a whopping pool of health and can destroy almost everything in its path metal foundations take only 11 attacks to take down and with a saddle platform you can build an entire fortress or even a barricade as it charges at turret walls and bases to take down but with a primitive saddle it's not as strong as you think so don't mess about rush those turrets as quick as you can as you probably won't see last too long certainly worth bringing into a fight later on when there's less tourists to deal with so make sure you plan when to use this titanic monster in ark in the number three the reaper king birthed from reaper queens on aberration or genesis and when i say birthed i mean birthed as in your need to get impregnated to own one and is perhaps one of the strongest under particular circumstances and probably why this was voted so high it has a natural armor of 80 percent which is the equivalent to a 400 armored saddle and certainly has a range of great attack abilities making this a good all-rounder in the heat of a fight and being very mobile can dip in and out and even jump and scale out of danger but it has one huge weakness light pets if your defending tribe own light pets watch out because that reaper won't last five minutes and in at number two is the stego spawning on all maps but scorched earth tamed the usual way and an easy time at that and originally was a great tank in ark but then got heavily nerfed but then got some tlc love bringing in these new place modes the one of course you're going to be using as a tank is the hardened plate mode with all buffs that i went through at the start of this video can bring incoming damage to 14.2 percent making them one of the best tanks and of course offering a great pool of health you can't be dismounted from them and of course can be transported by a kakinas wyvern or quetz effective in some caves it's big enough to use as cover and don't forget you can also shoot off them so rockets of course if you're close enough to the turrets just make sure to be side on as tech turrets can still catch you and kill your rider pretty quickly and before we get into number one here's a special mention to the creatures that didn't just make the cuts [Music] and a new one for this top 10 my special mention one creature that was never mentioned and deserves a place in this top 10. the parasaur yes it doesn't soak us perhaps everything else on this list but can be built on to create a pokey racer enabling you to push and force yourself into turrets and i can't believe this was overlooked by everybody in the polls and finally in a number one and it's a controversial vote the rock elemental spawning on scorched earth rag extinction val gen and crystal oils and won the vote by quite a big difference surprisingly as it's an expensive tame requiring cannons to knock out and is incredibly weak to tech turrets giggers and rockets of course as well being quite a slow creature but you voted it as number one and why because it is the ultimate heavy turret soaker taking up to 50 reduced damage even against most creatures and being a large creature can encompass a large area with a decent damage to stone structures to boot it's certainly an og soaker at least for me back in the day when scorched earth dropped it was the go-to tank and perhaps the times of old have inspired it to hit number one on this list thanks all for tuning in i hope you enjoyed this what did you think leave a comment below let me know what more top 10s would you like to see drop a comment below and we'll put them to the polls in the near future
