Quick answer
Check the live structure before applying the 5.9 three-wave route
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. Stabilize the colony and use the live entrance and prompt. If three waves are shown, follow all three, and count a run only after the game shows a visible completion or result. For the archived Snake model, do not count individual waves as separate attempts.
Step by step
Follow the route in order
Stop at the first step that does not match what you see.
01
Confirm the current structure first
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. If the live flow differs, use its actual wave count and completion state.
02
Confirm the exact current game
Use Grow A Colony by sebcaddy1, place 103154273080028. A similarly named game or older server can show unrelated controls and systems.
03
Keep the colony baseline working
Keep at least one Worker Food route functioning, leave the Queen and main entrance reachable, avoid a new Building obstruction, and use a Major or Drone for the fighting role. These are preparation checks, not a published unlock rule.
04
Use only a visible Formation control
The archived Update 5.8 headline announced Formations and Better PvP without publishing a universal key, list, or bonus. Select the intended ants and use only the current visible action.
05
Start from the live Raid prompt
The public description does not publish a permanent entrance, trigger, party size, or cooldown. Confirm the encounter name and that the current game labels it as a Raid.
06
Follow wave one and its live target
Use the current order and prompt. Do not assume an older video shows today's opening enemy, timing, or route.
07
Wait for the wave-two transition
If the target, route, or Formation state changes, follow the newly visible prompt rather than repeating the previous input automatically.
08
Finish wave three and read the result
Continue until the game shows a visible completion or result. Entering, dealing damage, finishing one earlier wave, or failing a run is not a full completed Raid.
If stuck
Try these checks
An older video shows one encounter
Treat it as pre-Update 6 footage. Use it for recognition, then recheck the live wave count when the game calls the encounter a Raid.
The next wave does not begin
Read the current target and transition messages, confirm the event is active, clear unrelated control states, and retry the visible prompt. No universal timer or hidden-enemy rule is published here.
Fighters do not move
Reselect the intended ants, use the visible order or Formation action, and confirm a Building placement is not blocking access.
The entrance is missing
Confirm the exact game, current server, and encounter name. A dated video proves past availability, not permanent access in every server.
No expected reward appears
Read the actual completion and result. Update 5.9 does not publish a guaranteed Raid reward table, and the archived Snake route was chance-based.
Avoid
Common mistakes
Counting a wave as a completed Raid
Under the recorded 5.9 three-wave structure, one wave is not the full run. Wait for all three waves and a visible result.
Multiplying Snake attempts by three
Update 5.9 changes the number of waves but does not confirm one Snake roll per wave. Enter full completed Raids only in the historical calculator.
Inventing a wave roster or timer
The archived 5.9 description confirms only the three-wave count. Enemies, order, timing, scaling, rewards, and failure rules remain unpublished.
Forcing every boss into the Raid model
The public description does not identify each encounter. Apply this flow when the current game labels the encounter as a Raid.
