[GUIDE] Best Special Ant Formations PvP: 2026 Meta
Hello, fellow rulers!
As a moderator of our community, I’m bringing you today a consolidated guide on the best PvP formations. To provide the most accurate content, we used extensive testing conducted by players from The SKY Alliance community, under the leadership of Crazy Rooster. They analyzed over 70 combinations to define what truly dominates the battlefield today.
1. Class: Shooters
Focus: Explosive Damage (Heavy Hitters)
Shooter formations are known for their extremely high damage output but tend to be more fragile. Combat Speed is the key to success here.
| Tier | Formation (Front / Middle / Back) | Playstyle |
|---|---|---|
| S+ (Meta) | Indigo Velvet + Sly Hunter + Rainbow Chaser | The best in the game. Maximum defense penetration. |
| S+ (F2P) | Indigo Velvet + Sly Hunter + Azure Crazy | Perfect synergy of extra attacks and buffs. |
| S | Black Velvet + Emerald Jewel + Rainbow Chaser | Continuous and consistent damage. |
| A | Red Velvet + CI + Azure Crazy | Luck-based; relies on skill copying. |
| B (Starter) | Red Velvet + Wise Berserker + Nimble Tree | Focuses on normal attacks to trigger skills. |
Pro Tip: Shooters win with speed. If the fight lasts beyond the 4th round, your chances of winning decrease significantly.
2. Class: Guardians
Focus: Survivability and Counter-attack
Guardian formations utilize healing mechanics, shields, and attrition to wear down stronger enemies (especially Shooters).
| Tier | Formation (Front / Middle / Back) | Playstyle |
|---|---|---|
| S+ (Meta) | Black Knight + Bright Ponerine + Giant Jaw | Indestructible with health buffs and constant healing. |
| S+ (F2P) | Bison Ant + Blue Velvet + Giant Jaw | Essential counter-attacks and healing marks. |
| S | Bison Ant + MC + Giant Jaw | Maximum survivability through shields and healing. |
| A | MB + Blue Velvet + Giant Jaw | Maximizes the effectiveness of healing received. |
| B (Starter) | Leaf Devourer + Hairy Panther + MB | Basic units that work but lack S5 synergy. |
3. Class: Carriers
Focus: Negative Effects and Poison (Anti-Guardian)
The strategy has shifted! The current meta focuses on Debuffs and Poison to nullify Guardian healing.
| Tier | Formation (Front / Middle / Back) | Playstyle |
|---|---|---|
| S+ (Meta) | Golden Chaser + Mimic Crawler + Honeypot Ant | The Poison Meta. Destroys Guardian healing. |
| S+ (F2P) | Golden Chaser + Mimic Crawler + Rainbow Scarlet | Massive debuffs and reduced enemy healing. |
| S | Golden Chaser + Gravedigger + Honeypot Ant | Massive increase (45%) in skill damage. |
| A | Rainbow Wings + Mimic Crawler + Golden Crystal | Hybrid between dodge and negative effects. |
| B (Old Meta) | TA + Carpenter Ant + CR | Focuses on Dodge. Has lost strength in the current meta. |
