Fire Ant Nest

The Fire Ant Nest is an anthill in the north-western part of the map that can be raided to earn honeydew.

## General information

The fire ant nest is a dungeon that can be raided to win honeydew. The fire ants guard the chambers with their creature army. The final chamber contains the Fire Ant Queen boss.

Fire Ant nest is divided into chambers which are filled with fire ants and enslaved creatures.
When all enemies in a chamber are defeated, the player gains some amount of honeydew and the entrance to the next chamber appears.

The creatures have been given massive health buffs (a 1-star Tarantula has about the health of a 4-star normal Tarantula). In return, most of the creatures' attack rates have been decreased, and follow a specific pattern.

## Entry Requirements

Each entry costs 3 battle tokens , 500 leaves  and 500 seeds  ***or*** 350 gems .

The honeydew chamber must be built to enter the nest.

## Overview

All the player's soldier ants are brought into the nest. No reinforcements can be called during the raid.
**Note:** Before entering, dismiss the Garrison if it was placed, as the soldiers set to it will not arrive in the nest.

The conquest can end in three ways: all soldier ants dying, the player surrendering or the Fire Ant Queen (and thus the whole nest) defeated.
In the first two scenarios, all honeydew that was acquired until losing the army/surrendering is kept.

Both Chrysanthemum and Lavender flowers can be used once per **each** chamber (if they were purchased from the Honeydew Shop).

## Strategy

### Preparation:

1) It is advisable to have at least 60 level 10 soldiers (level 11 queen).

2) Have a level 5 chrysanthemum (45 seconds).

3) (Optional) Upgrade the soldier speed and resilience to level 2.

### Clearing:

4) In chambers with creatures, first kill the fire ants, then the creatures.

5) Try to let fire ants and creatures attack the player, not their soldiers (don't do this in chambers 13 and 14).

6) In chambers 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12, try to paralyze at least two creatures with a chrysanthemum.

7) In chambers 13 and 14, do not rush to use chrysanthemum. If the bombardiers are far enough, it is better to immediately move to the upper right corner and watch on the mini-map when the bombardiers get close to each other (for this, the player's soldiers need to have high speed).

8) Attack the queen from the upper right corner so that the fire ants in the center of the chamber do not see the player's soldiers.

## Chambers

***\**** 10, 15 and 20 fire ants are additionally spawned when Fire Ant Queen's health reaches 75%, 50% and 25% respectively. Thus, a total of up to 53 fire ants is found in the last chamber.

## Trivia

* Earlier versions of the fire ant nest would include 6 instead of 5 creatures in chambers 6 and 8.
* The creatures would also have much lower attack rate and speed, and would bug often.
* Conquering the nest for the first time will reward the player with a special fire ant skin.
* The Fire Ants in the Queen's Chamber do not need to be killed in order to win. When the Fire Ant Queen dies, all the Fire Ants will die as well.
* Defeating the Fire Ant Queen used to reward 146 Honeydew.
