Quick answer

Protect the colony before pushing farther

The official description names Majors and Drones as fighters and Bugs, Creatures, and Colonies as targets. Update 5.9 recorded a three-wave Raid System. Update 6 does not itemize a Raid change; use the live interface before treating that structure as unchanged or removed. Older community videos show Snake Boss and Queen Bee encounters, but do not establish their current classification, stats, rewards, spawn rules, or a permanent best team.

Beetle exists, but its combat role is not published

Update 6 adds Beetle, and the official Beetle (Perm) Pass is listed at 499 Robux. The public material does not publish a free route, Point cost, stats, role, Boss or Raid classification. Do not classify Beetle as a Boss, fighter, Queen form or Raid reward from the title alone.

Step by step

Follow the route in order

Stop at the first step that does not match what you see.

  1. 01
    Stabilize the Food baseline

    Confirm that at least one Worker route can complete before adding avoidable combat pressure. Food instability makes it harder to tell whether a fighting choice actually helps the colony.

  2. 02
    Add a current fighting unit

    Use a Major or Drone because those are the two roles publicly assigned to fighting. Do not assume a specialization the current interface does not show.

  3. 03
    Choose one visible target or named encounter

    The public description supports Bugs, Creatures, and Colonies. Community videos show Snake Boss and Queen Bee; verify the current entrance and prompt before preparing around either route.

  4. 04
    Watch the route as well as the fight

    A useful fighting unit should help the chosen job without leaving the Queen or Worker path exposed. Observe whether the Food loop remains stable during the encounter.

  5. 05
    Complete all three Raid waves

    If the live game still shows the recorded three-wave structure, follow all three waves and wait for a visible completion or result. One wave is not a full completed Raid.

  6. 06
    Read the actual reward outcome

    The game says combat can give more ants and Food, but no fixed amount is published. Record the result you see with the version and avoid turning one boss or target outcome into a guarantee.

If stuck

Try these checks

The Food route keeps breaking

Move fighting attention toward route protection, shorten the Worker path, and retest the same Food target after pressure clears.

Major and Drone feel identical

Treat both as fighters until the live UI or repeatable current behavior reveals a practical difference.

A boss route no longer matches

Treat the linked video as pre-Update 6 community evidence. Follow the live entrance, prompts, arena, and outcome if the current game differs.

A named encounter is missing

Confirm the exact game and a fresh server. A video can prove an encounter was visible when recorded, not its permanent availability.

Avoid

Common mistakes

Pushing combat before Food works

An unstable gathering loop can make every later loss look like a combat problem.

Promising a fixed reward

The official description names ants and Food as outcomes but does not specify amounts, odds, or target-by-target tables.

Publishing fixed boss stats from one run

A video does not establish permanent health, damage, reward amounts, cooldowns, or the best team after later updates.

Counting each Raid wave as a Snake attempt

The archived 2.5% Snake model applies per completed Raid and Update 5.9 does not confirm a roll after every wave.

Calling community footage official

Keep the official role and target-family claims separate from video-observed Snake Boss and Queen Bee encounters.
