Pheromones

Pheromones are a resource used for attracting creatures. Pheromones are located inside the Pheromone Shop.

## General information

Pheromones are used to attract creatures to improve the player's army.

There are two types of creatures attractable with pheromones: regular and golden.

## Pheromone Shop

    The Pheromone Shop is located inside the Shop button along with the honeydew and resin shops.

The pheromone shop shows the player's current League rank, the number of trophies, how long the shield will last, and the percent bonus for resource rewards the player will get from battles. The tab on the top indicates the type of pheromone the player will get from battles as well.

The pheromone shop also shows the amount of each pheromone type the player has acquired. From here, the player can choose to attract a regular creature using any type of pheromone the player has. It also allows the player to attract a golden creature using any type of pheromone the player has available.

Converting pheromones to better ones can be done here.

## How To Acquire

The player gets 1 pink pheromone every time the Red Ant Queen is killed.

The Daily reward for the 7th day in a row is 10 pink pheromones.

The player gets 1 pink pheromone for winning a battle against Dr. Zany.

The player gets 1 pink pheromone from a successful **defense** (being attacked and having less than 50% of the units defeated).

The player can get a maximum of 3 pheromones in battles against other players.

* 1 if 50% of the enemy units are defeated
* 2 if 75% of the enemy units are defeated
* 3 if the enemy queen is killed.

## Types of Pheromones

There are 4 different types of pheromones obtainable in battles against other players: **Pink**, **Golden**, **Platinum and Diamond.**

*Note: If a player wins a battle and gets to the next league rank with the trophies earned in that battle, the pheromones received will correspond to the rank the player has reached.*

Pheromones from red ants, daily rewards, Dr. Zany battles and successful defences will always be pink pheromones.

The better the pheromone, the higher the chance of getting a rare creature. Example: a golden pheromone has a higher chance of attracting a rare creature like rhinoceros beetle. The diamond pheromone has the highest chance of attracting a rare creature.

## Conversion

Pheromones can be converted into better pheromones.

5 pink pheromones are needed to obtain 1 golden pheromone. At least a gold league rank is needed to convert to this kind of pheromone.

10 pink pheromones or 2 golden pheromones are needed to obtain 1 platinum pheromone. At least a platinum league rank is needed to convert to this kind of pheromone.

The conversion rate for platinum to diamond is: 5 Diamond pheromones for every 7 platinum pheromones. At least a diamond league rank is needed to convert to this kind of pheromone.

## Uses

Pheromones have only one use: attracting a creature on the map.

To do this, click on the 'Shop' menu in the lower right area of the screen, open the pheromone shop and select the 'Attract' button corresponding to the pheromones wanted to be used.

A new creature will appear on the map.

A new creature cannot be attracted if another creature is already on the map.

If the player's ant is holding the Honeycomb and a creature is attracted, there's a 100% chance of attracting the Asian Giant Hornet.

## Golden attractions

A Golden Creature can be attracted (100% chance) by either using 150 golden pheromones, 50 platinum pheromones or 30 diamond pheromones.

However, the chance to spawn golden rare creatures is that of a normal pink pheromone summon. It is very rare to get a Rhinoceros Beetle with a 'pink' summon, so it will be very rare to get one with the golden creatures summon.

There's also a very low chance of getting a golden creature in attractions with either 3 gold, 3 platinum or 3 diamond pheromones. Pink pheromones can't attract golden creatures.
