Guide des mises à niveau des nids dans l'empire des fourmis

Building Nest upgrades in Empire of the Ants is crucial when it comes to protecting your colony and subsequently expanding its power across all terrains. If you're wondering what they all entail, here's our handy guide to all Nest upgrades in the game and what they do.

Best Upgrades in Empire of the Ants - All Nest Upgrades, Listed

Below we've listed all possible Nest upgrades you can unlock in Empire of the Ants by tier and category, and also what benefits each of them provides you and your insect legions.

Best Defense Upgrades

Defense upgrades should be built according to the priorities of your mission, and where your nests are located in proximity to the enemy's nests.

If a nest is far back from the action (and not your Headquarters), it may not necessarily need defenses right away and you can save those resource costs for a different upgrade or defenses for other nests more at risk. In other words, you don't always need to build defenses for every single nest on the map.

In terms of the best Defense upgrades, it's always best to start with Wood Barrier and Nest Gunners , as those can help buy time against an invading enemy until your legions can intervene. If you have the resources, you can upgrade them further to Slime Reserves and Veteran Nest Gunners .

Just be aware that each nest you fortify will go up in cost. The third or fourth Wood Barrier you build around a nest will be much more expensive than the first one.

Best Legion Upgrades

Legion upgrades are how you build and bolster your armies of ants (and other allied bugs), and they're the key to vanquishing enemy legions such as termites and black ants. They're one of the first upgrades you want to build at a nest, so that you can establish as many legions as possible under your command.

While it can depend on the layout of the map and the types of enemies you need to defeat, you usually want to start with both a Warrior and Gunner legion, and upgrade them to Veteran or Elite tier depending on the difficulty of your enemies. Workers can be useful for flanking Gunners, but they're still best suited for transporting resources. Only build one if there are Food resource points on the map for you to gather.

You should also build a Super Predator legion as soon as possible (available at Tier 2), as they are strong against all legion types and have more health on average. When it comes to Support legions, the Snail is usually your best bet (when it becomes available in the story), since they can slow down enemy forces. Aphids are far more vulnerable and only work when in close proximity to an allied legion.

Best Information Upgrades

These upgrades act as intel tools that you can use to get the upper hand on enemy legions before they even approach.

You absolutely want to build a Cartographers upgrade as soon as possible, since it displays the mission's entire map for you. Other optimal choices are Sharp Antennae , so you can scout further without going too far into enemy territory, and Counterspies which will conceal your legions from your enemy in that specific region.

Other upgrades in this category can help as well, particularly upgrading your Cartographers if you can, but your resources may be better spent elsewhere.

Best Economy Upgrades

These upgrades are among the most important of all categories, and are a necessity for almost every type of mission you go into. The Woodyard and Mushroom Farm can provide you an ever-growing supply of resources, while Storage Expansion will increase the amount of resources you can hold at a time.

Besides those, the Chemical Laboratory is pivotal as it will unlock all Tier 2 upgrades for you. Subsequently, the Chemical Library will unlock all Tier 3 upgrades, giving you access to everything, including the most powerful legions. Nearly all of these upgrades are significantly useful, except for Salvage since you probably won't want to be destroying chambers too often.

Best Powers Upgrades

These particular upgrades are ones your character personally equips, but are meant to empower the legions under your command. You can provide them with a variety of buffs thanks to these upgrades, many of them are incredibly beneficial.

Dash Pheromones are a must when your legions need to travel quickly across the map to intercept the enemy, or if you're on a time limit. Rage Pheromones gives your legion a temporary attack boost, which can help ensure victory and minimize casualities/recovery time. Shielding Spores are another practical choice, as they'll shield your legion up to a certain amount, allowing them to stay in the fight longer.
