As we start out some dinos are good for early investment. What sets these dinos apart? They are good in their own right for early arenas but they also will not be wasted coin to level as they will eventually be needed for some stronger hybrids. The levels we display are the highest we recommend leveling these creatures to prevent yourself from wasting precious DNA and coins.

Ouranosaurus is a strong dino of Epic rarity and an Alpha on the tier list. While it can be fragile in some matchups the ability to stun and then flee without recording a loss can prove what results in a win. At level 15 it can start fusing for one of the best Apex dinos in the game, Diloranosaurus.

Velociraptor (Level 15, then 20)

While Velociraptor’s usefulness has fallen off steeply at higher levels of play since the addition of the Superiority Strike move, it still functions as a late team speed option when used with care. Going to 15 with it will allow for fusing to start on Indominus Rex . As you progress to the point of having Indominus Rex, don’t worry about wasting coins and DNA leveling your velociraptor up to level 20 until you have leveled your Indominus up to 20, at that point, you can start leveling your velociraptor up and beginning fusing on the ever scary Indoraptor.
