Squad Busters' Hero Update Now Live

The latest update for Squad Busters is now live, introducing a game-changing focus on Heroes, supported by squaddies. This update promises faster, more furious gameplay with the ability to use power moves and upgrade your squaddies on the fly.

Squad Busters has experienced fluctuating popularity since its launch. While it remains a fun and accessible MOBA-like game, it hasn't fully met the expectations set by Supercell. However, this new update might just be the catalyst to bring skeptical players back into the fold.

Dubbed the most ambitious update in Supercell's history in over 15 years, Squad Busters' latest release fundamentally alters its gameplay. The squad is now divided into powerful Heroes and supporting Squaddies. Heroes are the new focal point, each equipped with unique abilities and passives, while Squaddies retain their role as upgradable units during matches. A significant change is the ability to attack without halting your squad, though doing so will boost your squaddies' attack speed.

This shift transforms Squad Busters from a pseudo-RTS MOBA to a more traditional MOBA experience, emphasizing the strategic use of Heroes and their 'power moves' alongside squaddies. While some may miss the original design, the new focus on Heroes makes player actions more impactful and engaging.
