Our Be Dino tier list ranks every dinosaur species from S tier (Mythic) to D tier (Common) based on PvP performance, growth rate, XP multiplier, and overall viability. Updated for July 2026 with all current species.
Tier List Overview
This tier list evaluates all 18+ dinosaur species in Be Dino using five criteria: PvP combat power, XP multiplier, growth rate, event versatility, and acquisition difficulty. Species at higher tiers are generally more powerful but harder to obtain.
| Tier | Rarity | XP Multiplier | PvP Power | Acquisition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | Mythic | 13x+ | Dominant | Extremely rare |
| A | Legendary | 8-12x | Very Strong | Legendary Chests |
| B | Epic | 5-7x | Competitive | Epic+ Chests |
| C | Rare | 2-3x | Moderate | Rare+ Chests, Codes |
| D | Common | 1x | Basic | Free, Codes |
S Tier — Mythic Apex Predators
S-tier dinosaurs are the most powerful species in Be Dino. They dominate every game mode with the highest XP multipliers, combat stats, and growth ceilings. Obtaining one is the ultimate progression goal.
| Species | Type | XP Mult | Best For | How to Get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Behemoth Rex | Tyrannosaur | 13x+ | PvP, KOTH, Domination | Mythic/Legendary Chests |
| D-Rex | Tyrannosaur | 13x+ | PvP, Intimidation | Mythic/Legendary Chests |
| Imperatus Rex | Tyrannosaur | 13x+ | Open-field PvP | Mythic/Legendary Chests |
| Exoraptor | Raptor | 13x+ | Egg Hunt, Hit-and-run | Mythic/Legendary Chests |
Why S Tier? Mythic species have 13x+ base XP multipliers, meaning they grow 13 times faster than Common species at base rate. Their combat stats are unmatched, and their presence in any server immediately shifts the PvP dynamic. No other tier can challenge an S-tier dinosaur at full growth.
A Tier — Legendary Powerhouses
A-tier dinosaurs are Legendary species with 8-12x XP multipliers and excellent PvP performance. They are the practical endgame goal for most players.
| Species | Type | XP Mult | Best For | How to Get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jurassic T-Rex | Tyrannosaur | 8-12x | Balanced PvP, KOTH | Legendary Chests |
| Earthrend T-Rex | Tyrannosaur | 8-12x | Earth-themed PvP | Legendary Chests |
| Skyrend T-Rex | Tyrannosaur | 8-12x | Wind PvP, KOTH | MARSH code (free) |
| Terragore T-Rex | Tyrannosaur | 8-12x | Dark PvP, Collector | Legendary Chests (rare) |
Why A Tier? Legendary species are the backbone of competitive play. They grow fast with high XP multipliers, dominate King of the Hill, and can hold their own against any non-Mythic species. The MARSH code grants Skyrend T-Rex for free, making it the most accessible A-tier species.
B Tier — Strong Mid-Range Fighters
B-tier dinosaurs are Epic species with competitive stats and 5-7x XP multipliers. They are strong choices for players building toward Legendary species.
| Species | Type | XP Mult | Best For | How to Get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dread Gigantosaurus | Carnivore | 5-7x | Mid-tier PvP | HUGE150K code (free) |
| Emberjaw Tarbosaurus | Carnivore | 5-7x | Fire PvP | Epic+ Chests |
| Tidefang Spinosaurus | Spinosaurid | 5-7x | Water PvP, Defense | Epic+ Chests |
| Razorback Spinosaurus | Spinosaurid | 5-7x | Water PvP | Epic+ Chests |
Why B Tier? Epic species provide solid PvP performance with good growth rates. They are not as dominant as Legendary or Mythic species but are competitive in mid-tier encounters. The HUGE150K code grants Dread Gigantosaurus for free.
C Tier — Solid Mid-Game Species
C-tier dinosaurs are Rare species with decent stats and 2-3x XP multipliers. They are stepping stones to higher tiers.
| Species | Type | XP Mult | Best For | How to Get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allosaurus | Carnivore | 2-3x | PvP Learning | Rare+ Chests |
| Nothosaurus | Carnivore | 2-3x | Mid-game PvP | MARSH code (free) |
| Spinosaurus | Spinosaurid | 2-3x | Water Survival | Rare+ Chests |
| Therizinosaurus | Carnivore | 2-3x | Unique combat | Rare+ Chests |
| Xenoraptor | Raptor | 2-3x | Speed PvP | Rare+ Chests |
Why C Tier? Rare species are functional but not competitive against Epic+ species. They serve as progression stepping stones and are excellent for learning PvP mechanics. The MARSH code provides Nothosaurus for free.
D Tier — Starter Dinosaurs
D-tier dinosaurs are Common species with base stats and 1x XP multipliers. They are starters that should be upgraded as soon as possible.
| Species | Type | XP Mult | Best For | How to Get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raptor | Raptor | 1x | Egg Hunt, Speed | Free starter |
Why D Tier? The Common Raptor is the weakest species in direct combat but has the speed advantage that makes it the best choice for Egg Hunt events. Upgrade to a higher-tier species for PvP as soon as possible.
Best Dinosaurs by Activity
Different activities favor different species. Here is the recommended species for each game mode:
| Activity | Best Species | Tier | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| King of the Hill | Behemoth Rex / D-Rex | S | Size dominates KOTH |
| Egg Hunt | Raptor / Exoraptor | D/S | Speed wins egg collection |
| Boss Fights | Jurassic T-Rex / Earthrend | A | Balanced stats for bosses |
| PvP Domination | Any S-Tier Mythic | S | Unmatched combat power |
| AFK Farming | Tidefang Spinosaurus | B | Water defense + food access |
| Beginner PvP | Nothosaurus / Allosaurus | C | Forgiving for learning |
Tier List Evaluation Criteria
Our tier list uses five weighted criteria to rank each species:
| Criterion | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PvP Combat Power | 30% | Damage output, survivability, size advantage |
| XP Multiplier | 25% | Base growth acceleration rate |
| Event Versatility | 20% | Performance across KOTH, Egg Hunt, Boss |
| Growth Rate | 15% | Speed of reaching maximum size |
| Acquisition Ease | 10% | How obtainable the species is |
This weighted system ensures that species are evaluated holistically, not just on raw combat power. A fast Raptor that excels at Egg Hunts can score well on versatility despite lower combat stats.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best dinosaur in Be Dino?
Behemoth Rex (S tier, Mythic) is the strongest overall with the highest XP multiplier and PvP dominance. It requires Legendary/Mythic chest openings to unlock, making it the endgame goal.
Should I save Gems for Legendary chests?
Yes — Legendary chests are the best Gem investment. Common and Rare chests are not worth the cost. Save 10,000+ Gems for Legendary chest openings.
What is the best free dinosaur?
Skyrend T-Rex (A tier, Legendary) from the MARSH code is the best free species. It is a Legendary Tyrannosaur that dominates King of the Hill and PvP.
How often does the tier list change?
The tier list updates with every major game patch that includes balance changes. Nibblebyte adjusts species stats periodically, which may shift tier rankings.
Tier List Methodology
Our Be Dino tier list is based on the following evaluation criteria:
PvP Performance (40% weight): How effectively can the species engage in combat? Factors include max size, damage potential, and survivability against other tiers.
Growth Efficiency (30% weight): How quickly can the species reach full size? Factors include XP multiplier, food accessibility, and AFK viability.
Versatility (20% weight): How well does the species perform across different game modes? KOTH events, boss fights, survival, and AFK farming all contribute.
Accessibility (10% weight): How easy is it to obtain this species? Free codes score highest, while Mythic-only species score lowest due to extreme rarity.

Deep Dive: Detailed Tier Analysis
Each tier in Be Dino has specific characteristics that determine its ranking. This section provides a detailed breakdown of why each tier is ranked where it is.
S-Tier (Mythic) — Detailed Analysis: Mythic species are in a league of their own. Their maximum size makes them nearly invulnerable, and their 38x+ XP multiplier means they can grow relatively quickly once unlocked. The only downside is their extreme rarity — obtaining a Mythic species requires exceptional luck or massive Gem investment.
Key S-Tier advantages:
- Can eat every other species in the game
- Nearly invulnerable during AFK farming
- Dominates KOTH events with minimal effort
- Intimidates other players simply by existing on the server
Key S-Tier disadvantages:
- Extremely rare (0.5% Mythic chest drop rate)
- Takes 6–8 hours to grow from spawn to full size without boosts
- Other Mythic players are the only threat, making encounters with them binary (win/lose based on size)
A-Tier (Legendary) — Detailed Analysis: Legendary species are the practical best for most players. The MARSH code provides a free Skyrend T-Rex, giving every player access to A-Tier power. On servers without Mythic species, A-Tier is effectively the highest tier.
Key A-Tier advantages:
- Free access via MARSH code
- Can eat every species except Mythics
- Dominates on most servers (most servers have no Mythics)
- Strong AFK safety (only Mythics can threaten you)
Key A-Tier disadvantages:
- Cannot compete with Mythic species in direct combat
- Lower XP multiplier than Mythics (25x vs 38x+)
- KOTH events become difficult when a Mythic player is present
B-Tier through D-Tier — Summary: B-Tier (Epic) species are viable mid-game options but become food for any Legendary+. C-Tier (Rare) species are early-game stepping stones with minimal PvP value. D-Tier (Common) species are starting species that should be evolved past immediately using the MARSH code.
