Questions players ask

What is the rank ladder in Dino Hunters?

F -> E -> D -> C -> B -> A -> S -> SS -> SSS, with Ultra Rank added on top of SSS after the 2026-07-24 Raptor Update. Only SSS-eligible dinosaurs can upgrade to Ultra Rank.

What does Ultra Rank cost?

17,000,000 Coins + 1 DNA Core + 1 Crimson Flame Scale + 3 SSS-rank dinosaurs consumed as fodder. DNA Core drops from Lottery Tickets earned in the Raptor Nest Raid; Crimson Flame Scale drops from raid / seasonal rewards.

Does the rank ladder change between updates?

The base ladder (F to SSS) is unchanged across the live build. Ultra Rank is the only new top tier introduced by the Raptor Update, and only SSS dinosaurs qualify.

What team composition survives Temperate Forest and Jurassic Plains?

Triceratops or Ankylosaurus (tank) + Velociraptor or Dilophosaurus (DPS) + Parasaurolophus or Pachycephalosaurus (support). All spawn in the Temperate Forest.
