Question 1

What is the best ant in Build an Ant Empire?

Accepted Answer

The OP and Celestial rarities are the top tier. The Starwing Ant (Celestial, from the Starfall shop) and OP ants like the Thunder and Boxer Ant are the strongest seen so far, especially with the Starlight mutation.

Question 2

How do I get better ants?

Accepted Answer

Upgrade Egg Luck and Egg Rolls at the Ant Queen, upgrade the Queen to unlock Mythic, Exotic, Secret, Divine and OP Celestial eggs, then keep rolling. Events like Starfall and Robux ant packs are the other sources.

Question 3

What does the Starlight mutation do?

Accepted Answer

Starlight multiplies an ant's efficiency by 5×, the most of any mutation. It costs $5.1Qi as a potion, can come from the Alien event, and is common on ants from Robux packs.

Question 4

When should I sell my food?

Accepted Answer

Wait until the sell multiplier is about 1.6× or higher, or sell to the Food Buyer event at 2.5×. The Fixed Price game pass locks it at 2.5× permanently.

Question 5

What are the current codes?

Accepted Answer

Check the Codes page — at the last check, 9hcb2s gave 15 minutes of boosted cash. Redeem codes from the gear icon → Settings after finishing the tutorial.

Question 6

Can I trade ants with other players?

Accepted Answer

No trading system has been seen. Ants hatched from your queen stay in your colony.

Question 7

What happens if mount training fails?

Accepted Answer

The ant is lost. Rarer ants have a lower success rate, so only train duplicates you don't need.

Question 8

How do I get pets?

Accepted Answer

Fight dungeon bosses such as King of Spider and King of Snail for Pet Coins and pet eggs, or buy eggs from Pet Exchange with Pet Coins. Place eggs at your base to hatch them.

Question 9

Is there a rebirth system?

Accepted Answer

Not that we have seen. Progress comes from upgrades, nest expansions, better ants and mutations.
