Explain only current PvP, Bite, and species-specific Special basics; hold matchups, damage, cooldowns, and tactics until sourced. M1 Bite and R Special above the fold, plus bounded PvP basics and explicit platform and control unknowns.

Quick answer: M1 Bite and R Special are the two creator-listed controls. PvP exists; mobile and controller bindings, matchup data, damage, cooldowns, and tactics are not published.

Basic attack

M1 — Bite

Press the primary mouse button to use Bite. This is the only basic attack binding named in the current creator description.

Dinosaur action

R — Special

Press R to use your current dinosaur's Special. The creator says dinosaurs have unique attacks, but does not publish a complete ability table.

First fight

Use the controls without guessing hidden numbers

My Dino Life supports PvP, but reliable damage, cooldown, hitbox, and matchup values are not yet available. Learn the visible feedback in the current server.

  1. 1

    Test Bite safely

    Use M1 where you can see the animation and range. Do not rely on an unsourced damage number.

  2. 2

    Learn your Special

    Press R and watch what your current species does. A different dinosaur may have a different Special.

  3. 3

    Re-check after evolving

    After an evolution, confirm the visible prompt and action again before entering PvP.

Troubleshooting

If M1 or R does not respond

  • Refocus the game: click back into the Roblox window before trying M1 or R again.
  • Read the current prompt: on touch or controller, use the buttons shown by the live client because those mappings are not listed in the creator description.
  • Try a fresh server: if the interface looks incomplete or an action stays stuck, rejoin and test before assuming the binding changed.
Avoid bad advice

What this guide does not claim

  • No invented damage or cooldown values.
  • No complete mobile or controller map.
  • No guaranteed matchup, combo, or strongest-Special claim.
  • No assumption that every dinosaur's R action works the same way.
