Build an Ant Empire Ants: Rarities & How to Get Them

Documented ants & attributes

These three ants appear by name in the linked gameplay screenshots. Prices describe those offers; check your own Queen menu before buying. This is a starting reference, not a complete roster or tier list.

Queen offers and inventory shown in September 2026 gameplay; reviewed October 5.
Ant	Rarity shown	EFF shown	Offer price shown
Common Ant	Common	150 · level 1 example	$45
Golden Ant	Uncommon	Not visible in these captures	$1.8K
Basic Ice Ant	Common	Not visible in these captures	$600

The game labels the attribute EFF. The 150 reading is the value displayed for the captured Common Ant; it is not a measured cash-per-second rate or a guarantee for every level and mutation.

How to get ants

Roll at the Queen. The beginner guide describes a free egg roll that produces ant offers.
Choose an offer and pay its cash price. The three ants above are shown as Queen purchases. A roll and a purchase are separate steps.
Place the ant in an open colony slot. Collect its food boxes and take them to the Sell station.

For the route through your first colony and upgrades, follow the beginner guide. Open the in-game Index to check the ants and mutations discovered in your own account.

Mutations & EFF boosts

The item guide reports these mutation effects. They apply to an owned ant; they are separate from the ant's name and rarity.
