Squad Busters to see massive new rework and overhaul
Just in time for its first anniversary
- Squad Busters is set to see a major gameplay overhaul
- Heroes are now a core part of the experience, and will lead your squad
- You can now fight on the move rather than needing to stop
Since it first released back in 2024, Supercell have pinned a lot of their hopes on Squad Busters. This mixture of merge, upgrade and MOBA format has been up and down in popularity, but a new major overhaul for Squad Busters, arriving just in time for its first anniversary on May 13th, is set to change that!
The biggest change in this overhaul is simply to the overall balancing. No longer will you be relying just on squaddies, as instead you'll pick a hero to lead them with their own distinct and more powerful abilities. These are drawn from existing characters such as the Barbarian King and Archer Queen.
But perhaps the second biggest change is that you no longer need to halt your squad in order to attack! Yes, now Squad Busters is set to be even faster as you can use both your key heroes and your squaddies' abilities on the go.
Of course, you'll still be able to halt to let your troops attack more quickly, so don't worry about your muscle memory getting in the way! Heroes are also just as crucial to your squad's survival as they are to their progression, and if your hero is busted, you lose no matter how many squaddies you may have.
It also presents a pretty major change to the original crux of Squad Busters, and for better or for worse, is practically a reinvention of the entire foundation of how this Supercell super crossover plays. At the same time, judging by community reaction, many are eager to see how this plays out and think it'll help boost interest in Squad Busters once more.
