Dino Hunters loop and systems — capture, equip, evolve, raid

The canonical cycle

1. Hunt — Spawn in a prehistoric biome (Temperate Forest → Jurassic Plains → Jurassic Rift → Raptor Nest) and pick a target.
2. Defeat — Engage with a ranged weapon; reduce the dinosaur’s HP toward zero.
3. Capture — Fire a capsule; the live capture percentage decides whether the dinosaur accepts it.
4. Equip — Place the new companion in your team. Auto-equip the strongest when you have options.
5. Upgrade — Level the dinosaur through combat; spend Dino Essence at the Evolution chamber.
6. Evolve — Promote F → E → D → C → B → A → S → SS → SSS, then optionally to Ultra Rank after the Raptor Update.
7. Raid — Enter the Raptor Nest Raid for DNA Core + Crimson Flame Scale + 9 new species.
8. Loop back — Bring your upgraded squad into the next biome.

The intertwined subsystems

Every system touches the others. Optimizing one without the others is the most common late-game mistake — see Ultra Rank and Boss Readiness for the planner.
