Ant Wars Guides & Walkthroughs

Welcome to the Ant Wars guides hub. Ant War by Chylan (also searched as Ant Wars) is a colony PvP experience on Roblox where you dig tunnels, grow through DNA sizes, mutate for combat or support, and win by eliminating enemy queens. This hub is the map for every how-to on the wiki: first-hour basics, controls, signals, map geography, block dig costs, DNA spending, larvae loot, mutation picks, queen healing, and match-winning plans.

If you just joined, start with Getting Started. It covers colony pick, DNA timing, size upgrades (Minor → Major → Supermajor), and the win condition so you are not wandering tunnels without a goal. Pair it with Controls so Dig (E), Feed (T), Bite (right-click), and Signals (R) are muscle memory before the mid-game rush.

Core guides

• Getting Started — day-one checklist, colonies, DNA, sizes, and early priorities
• Controls — dig, feed, bite, signals, and platform tips
• Signals — Enemy, Group, Follow, Heal pings for defense and sieges
• Map and Tunnels — four nests, highway vs flanks, fungus pockets, kill funnels
• Digging and Blocks — Dirt through Stone dig counts, fungus behind queens, and tunnel tactics
• Mutations — Trapjaw, Stinger, Acid, Armored, Honeypot, and Combo Mutations under 30:00
• Heal the Queen — when regen stops, feed thresholds, Honeypot value, and fungus economy
• How to Win — queen kills, survivor switch rules, late DNA double, and team roles
• DNA — passive ticks, heal/larvae/combat income, size spends, Combo banking, death risk
• Larvae Loot — post-queen spawn, Loot Dropoff, DNA payout, timers, Looter badge

View all coverage from this list — each core guide links sideways so you can hop from dig counts to signals to win timing without returning here every time. Digging without mutation knowledge wastes DNA; healing without knowing the 30:00 regen cutoff leaves the queen exposed; rushing enemy nests without How to Win timing usually ends in a wipe. When you are debating a Supermajor buy or a five-stack larvae run, open DNA and Larvae Loot in the same sitting. When the nest is loud, open Signals and Map and Tunnels so pings and geography match.

Economy guides (DNA and larvae)

Match power is paid in DNA. Passive ticks (~1 / 45s, doubled in the last 15 minutes) stack with healing, damage, and larvae returns. Spend on Minor 0 / Major 3 / Supermajor 6, then mutations, and bank for Combo Mutations under 30:00 — full spend logic on DNA. After a queen falls, larvae spawn for carriers who reach the Loot Dropoff (~0.5 DNA each, max ~5 carry, team respawn ~8s → ~2s). That loop, Stinger contest tips, and the Looter badge are covered on Larvae Loot.

How Ant Wars matches flow

Matches are colony-versus-colony across Fire Nation, Golden Empire, Leaf Kingdom, and Concrete Clan nests. You spawn as a worker, dig through Dirt, Soil, Compact sand, Wood, and Stone, gather fungus near the queen for healing drops, and spend DNA on size and class. Passive DNA ticks about once every 45 seconds and doubles in the last 15 minutes. Dealing damage, healing allies or the queen, and returning larvae also grant DNA. Sizes cost 0 / 3 / 6 DNA for Minor / Major / Supermajor (Minim is a gamepass). Mutations cost additional DNA and reshape whether you frontline, poke, tank, or medic.

The clock matters. Queen passive regen (3 HP/s) stops under the 30:00 mark. Combo Mutations unlock in that late window. Passive DNA doubles in the final 15 minutes. Feed when Queen HP sits under about 3000. Dead queens do not respawn for that colony; survivors can auto-switch to remaining teams. Knowing that arc is why we split guides by role and phase instead of one giant wall of text.

Who should read what

New players: Getting Started → Controls → Signals → Digging and Blocks → Map and Tunnels → DNA. Support-minded players: Heal the Queen and Honeypot notes inside Mutations. Aggressive diggers and queen hunters: Trapjaw / Stinger / Acid sections plus How to Win. After your first queen kill, read Larvae Loot so the nest converts into DNA instead of a traffic jam. Veterans who already know the keys can jump straight to mutation combos, map funnels, and late-game DNA pacing.

Tips for using this hub

Bookmark the guides you use every match. Re-read dig counts before you commit a Supermajor to a Stone wall. Check the heal page whenever your queen’s passive regen has clearly stopped. Cross-link from mid-fight decisions: if you are debating DNA spend, open DNA and Mutations; if a nest just fell, open Larvae Loot; if the enemy tunnel is about to break into your nest, open How to Win, Signals, and Heal the Queen in the same sitting.

Each guide aims for practical match advice — not filler. Internal links stay locale-agnostic with trailing slashes so every language build resolves correctly. Watch the embedded YouTube on a page when you want a visual of dig speed, feed timing, DNA efficiency, or larvae steals; each article carries at most one video, placed mid-read so the text still stands alone.
