Fire Ants in Bugdom are King Thorax's army of red ants, present in most of the levels, brandishing spears which they will use to attack Rollie McFly. Some Ants come armed with stones which they will throw at you. The most elite and strongest Ants are the Fire Breathing Ants. They travel in groups of 3-4, and also stand guard in larger groups around ladybugs. When they see you, they will approach you until they are within throwing distance. They will then stop, turn towards you, and throw their spears.

Strategy[]

These red ants are easy to deal with. However, they come in groups and you might easily get overwhelmed by them.

  • When an ant enters it’s throwing animation, it's aim is fixed. This makes it easy for you to dodge out of the way. After throwing their spears, they will retrieve them and attack again and again.
  • Kick them three times and they will fall.
  • Roll attacks do more damage.
  • Send Buddy Bug to fly head on to the ant, instantly killing it.
  • Fire ants are dumb, as they will rely so heavily on their spears. Sometimes, due to a bug in the game, if you are attacking one right after it throws its spear and once it gets up, sometimes it will stand there forlorn.
  • Their greatest enemy is water. If you manage to dodge its throwing spear, and the spear lands on water, thanks to its dumbness, the ant will go to the water for the spear, only to get instantly killed by the water.
  • Some fire ants come unarmed with a spear. Don't be fooled. These ants will pick up a large stone and throw it at you, even from a distance. They do more damage to you than the spear fire ants. The three kick tactic will still kill it, but it will hurdle stones at you even before you reach it. Once you see it, quickly roll attack to stun it. It won't have time to pick up a stone. Once it gets up, you can perform your kick attacks, which may take two hits in addition to the roll attack.
