- Squad Busters is receiving a major gameplay overhaul
- Heroes now play a central role, leading your squad into battle
- You can now engage in combat while moving instead of stopping
Since its initial launch in 2024, Supercell has placed significant hopes on Squad Busters. This unique blend of merging, upgrading, and MOBA elements has experienced fluctuating popularity, but a comprehensive update timed for its first anniversary on May 13th aims to change that trajectory.
The most significant adjustment involves fundamental game balance. Rather than relying solely on basic troops, you'll now select a hero to command your squad with distinctive, more powerful abilities. These heroes are drawn from established characters like the Barbarian King and Archer Queen.
Another major enhancement allows continuous movement during combat. Squad Busters becomes even more dynamic as you can activate both hero abilities and squad member skills without interrupting your advance.
Assemble your squad!You'll still have the option to halt for concentrated attacks, so existing muscle memory won't hinder your gameplay. Heroes prove equally vital for survival and progression—losing your hero means immediate defeat regardless of how many troops remain.
This overhaul substantially modifies Squad Busters' original mechanics, effectively reinventing the core gameplay of Supercell's crossover title. Early community responses indicate strong anticipation for these changes, with many players believing they'll renew interest in the game.
