Fire Ant preferred choice

[flyons_gary]

Just really a question post on what mutations you prefer for you ants. I like last laugh combined with evasive since it does kind of facilitate swarming but I kind of feel I also would like the mounted damage increase with last laugh so if they get thrown they still do damage. Curious about other peoples thoughts

Evasive imo is the best fire ant ability (30% evasion is huge). I think last stand combined with evasive is better than last laugh, since it gives the fire ants way more longevity, tanking potential, and damage potential. That in turn also saves you a lot of respawn food (hybrid titan could target ants that already died instead of living ants).

Last laugh just does 20 venom damage on death, which isn't as good as last stand imo for formicarium challenge 5, especially on higher difficulties when the titans have tens of thousands of hp. Especially since the drangantula hybrid has 70% venom resistance on FC5 impossible (you can counteract this pretty well with wood ant venom boost upgrades though).
