Explorers! Get ready because late yesterday, Ludia decided to announce in advance the schedule of Featured Dinosaurs for Week 10 in Jurassic World Alive! Be aware, this week does not contain anything major or incredibly exciting. However, fans of the Raptor Squad will rejoice as the famous Raptors are back! Or at least most of them…

One thing is certain, this week’s theme certain is Fast Dinosaurs and Ludia somehow decided to split Dinosaurs according to their Tiers, for once.

Monday + Tuesday

Gallimimus

Deinocheirus

Tanycolagreus

Velociraptor

Wednesday + Thursday + Friday

Ornithomimus

Charlie

Echo

Erlikosaurus Gen 2

Saturday + Sunday

Blue

Pyroraptor

Considering how Raptors and fast Dinosaurs have taken a hit with the recent update (more information on that matter here), Week 10 is somewhat disappointing in terms of viability in the game. However, it is certainly exciting to see two new Dinosaurs, the return of the Raptor Squad along with Pyroraptor!

A few interrogations emerge when looking at this roster:

Why not include Delta?

Why not include Erlikosaurus instead of Pyroraptor?

Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be any explanation at the moment, and perhaps there will never be. We would have certainly preferred Erlikosaurus to Pyroraptor!

Which Dinos to focus on during Week 9 of the event?

The Commons are probably the hardest to decide this week, but definitely go for either Velociraptor or Gallimimus. If you are attempting to create Indoraptor, which requires 2,000 Velociraptor DNA per fuse, and 500 Velociraptor DNA per fuse on Indominus Rex, Velociraptor is your target. The sheer amount of DNA needed to create the Indoraptor can justify going for Velociraptor.

On the other hand, Gallimimus is an Arena exclusive Dino for Jurassic Ruins (Arena 8), and we know how difficult it is to obtain arena exclusive Dinos! Plus, it also has a new hybrid with Monolophosaurus: Monomimus, so it is very worth going for!

Next up for the Rares, they aren’t as exciting as other weeks, since none of them have any hybrids yet. All four are Dinosaurs you could go for. Maybe go for the ones that aren’t in your local area, or go for ones that you need to power up on your team.

For the Epics, unless you need Pyroraptor DNA for Pyrritator, then it might be best to go for Blue, as it doesn’t spawn in the wild and is a very strong standalone Dino. Especially if you live in Local 2, you shouldn’t worry too much about getting Pyroraptors, so go for Blue.

New Incubators in the store

Week 9 Incubators are now gone, and we have two new Incubators in the store to replace them. Incubator prices vary according to your Player’s level.

First, we have the usual Showcase Incubator which is a Rare Incubator this time around considering that we have four Rare Dinosaurs in this week’s Showcase! Considering how few interesting, or should we say viable, Dinosaurs there are in the entire Showcase, it is difficult for us to recommend purchasing this Incubator. Furthermore, we still believe that Incubators are generally overpriced and that it’s always best to simply go out and hunt! It’s also much more enjoyable!

Second, we have our famous themed Incubator, which is an Epic this week and showcases Cunning Dinosaurs! Therefore, we believe that one should expect to obtain Dinosaurs with a minimum Speed of 120. Considering how long of a list that would be, we will simply refer you to the Dinodex and recommend that you filter the Speed column. Looking at the Dinosaurs with a base Speed of 120 will provide you with the full list of potential Dinosaurs. Be aware, it’s very long!

Is this Incubator worth it? We still believe that Incubators are generally overpriced and that it’s always best to simply go out and hunt! It’s also much more enjoyable! The plus side: considering how fast Dinosaurs with moves decreasing the opponent’s damage are strong in the current Meta, one could be tempted to go for it, especially considering that Monolophosaurus is a potential reward! The downside: there are over 40 Dinosaurs falling into that category, so the odds of actually obtaining the DNA you really want are almost inexistent. Best to go out and hunt, and save your Cash for coins.

The previous Cash offer is still active (750 Cash for the price of 500). It’s a decent offer if you are desperate for Cash. It wouldn’t be surprising for a deal on Coins to pop-up throughout the week considering that we recently had a deal on Cash. We will keep you posted on that end!

Featured Dinosaurs – How does it work? – Recap

Featured Dinosaurs work as follows:

You have a set amount of hours to collect DNA from the Featured Dinos, as indicated on the event Dino/drop once you open them;

Cycles always begin at 10:00 a.m. EDT and last for however many hours indicated on that day;

During the given time period, there will be 1-3 different Featured Dinos and you will have a combined amount of attempts for the Dinosaurs together! For example, if you need more Sarco DNA then Tany DNA, you could do 20 Sarco attempts and only 4 Tany! Vice versa, if you need more Tany DNA than Sarco DNA, you could do more Tany attempts than Sarcos;

The number of attempts are as the same as the last few weeks, except possibly Rares, which they have updated. Note that you have to add the number of attempts assigned to the first Featured Dino’s Tier with the one from the second Featured Dino’s Tier to know how many attempts you will have.

Another update is that Ludia has increased Rare attempts to 5 each .

. Number of attempts based on the Tiers: Common: 12 Rare: 5 Epic: 3 Legendary: 1 Unique: 1



Parting Words

We are very excited to know that we have a TENTH week of Featured Dinosaurs to look forward to! Even though we are not given a shot at a Legendary (again), the fact that we get a few new Dinosaurs along with the return of the Raptor Squad (except for Delta) is incredibly exciting!
