A tough ant with a disproportionately large head, strong mandibles, and a vicious sting capable of injecting painful venom. It is a soldier, and thus tasked with protecting the colony from invaders.

Useful info

A soldier ant is a hardier version of the worker ant, with the same strengths and vulnerabilities, except that the soldier ant is tougher and of average speed.

Tips and tricks

  • Poison works exceptionally well against them. Venomous weapons and Poison Magic will kill them in short order, and Mephitic Cloud will turn them against each other.
  • Their magic resistance is low, so you can confuse and paralyse them without too much trouble.
  • As long as you have poison resistance, facing them shouldn't be too much trouble, though they can still manage to mangle lightly armored spellcasters who let them get into close quarters.

History

  • Soldier ants were removed in 0.27.
