The Ark Survival Ascended dino tier list ranks the dinos based on their effectiveness during PvP and PvE battles, the taming process, and abilities. The title offers a wide range of dinos with unique abilities that can help players survive on the island. While most of them are naturally useful, some need rework. Players must carefully analyze these dinos' utility and battle abilities before adding them to the roster.

The dinosaurs in this list excel at various factors of the game, but when ranking, it is a must to consider their overall effectiveness in the game. That said, this article offers a comprehensive Ark Survival Ascended dino tier list based on the current meta.

Ark Survival Ascended dino tier list (March 2024)

S-tier:

The S-tier consists of the best and most lethal dinos in Ark Survival Ascended. These unique dinos have the ability to dominate the game, and taking that to their advantage, many players use them to excel at PvEs, PvPs, or both.

Here is a list of the S-tier dinos capable of tearing apart other dinos and players in battles, as well as those that can greatly help players in their survival journey on the island:

Ankylosaurus
Argentavis
Basilosaurus
Carcharodontosaurus
Carbonemys
Pteranodon
Quetzal
Woolly Rhino
Rex
Rhyniognatha
Therizinosaur
Spinosaurus
Giganotosaurus
Thylacoleo
Yutyrannus

A-tier:

The A-tier dinos rival the S-tier dinos in utility and battle; however, their strength and abilities fall short comparatively. The dinos in this tier are still worth taming and some of the best in Ark Survival Ascended, boasting extraordinary skills for farming, traversing, battles, and more.

The A-tier dinos are as follows:

Baryonyx
Daeodon
Castoroides
Doedicurus
Dung Beetle
Oviraptor
Mammoth
Megalodon
Otter
Paraceratherium
Parasaur
Phiomia
Procoptodon
Megatherium
Stegosaurus
Triceratops
Tusoteuthis

B-tier:

The dinos in the B-tier are worth the tame, but they lack in a few areas of the game and are just not as effective as the A-tier dinos. They either have a better substitute for their abilities or have drawbacks like being hard to tame. While these dinos have their drawbacks, they can still be beneficial.

The B-tier dinos are mentioned below:

Allosaurus
Beezlebufo
Diplocaulus
Direwolf
Dunkleosteus
Kaprosuchus
Iguanodon
Megalosaurus
Moschops
Tapejara
Titanosaur
Purlovia
Sabertooth
Sarco
Mosasaurus
Ovis

C-tier:

This tier consists of dinosaurs that need a substantial buff before players can start taming them. While these Ark Survival tames have unique and usable quirks, they can easily be replaced by other dinos that perform better. Players are advised to wait for Studio Wildcard to buff these creatures before taming them.

The C-tier dinos are the following:

Brontosaurus
Carnotaurus
Diplodocus
Dimorphodon
Equus
Dire Bear
Pelagornis
Gigantopithecus
Kairuku
Plesiosaur
Megaloceros
Microraptor
Mesopithecus
Pachyrhinosaurus
Raptor
Troodon
Titanboa

D-tier:

The D-tier in the Ark Survival Ascended dino tier list consists of dinos with unique but ineffectual abilities in the game. They either have abilities that are of little help in PvP or PvE or have better substitutes. While they can be fun to tame and have around, they serve very little purpose towards you surviving on the island.

Here are the D-tier dinos in the game:

Archeopteryx
Compy
Castoroides
Dilophosaur
Dimetrodon
Galimimus
Dodo
Electrophorus
Manta
Kentrosaurus
Pachy
Lystrosaurus
Pegomastax
Terror Bird
