Squad Busters Announces Major Overhaul

• Squad Busters is set to receive a major gameplay overhaul
• Heroes are now central to the core experience, leading your squad
• You can now engage in combat while moving, without stopping

Ever since its initial launch in 2024, Supercell has placed high expectations on Squad Busters. This blend of merging, upgrading, and MOBA mechanics has seen fluctuating popularity, but a significant new update, timed perfectly for its first anniversary on May 13th, aims to transform that trajectory.

The most substantial change in this update revolves around overall balance. You will no longer depend solely on squad members; instead, you choose a hero to lead them, each equipped with unique and more potent abilities. These heroes are familiar faces, including the Barbarian King and Archer Queen.

Arguably the second biggest improvement is the ability to attack without halting your squad. Yes, Squad Busters is now even faster-paced, allowing you to deploy both your key heroes' skills and your squad members' abilities while on the move.

Of course, you can still stop to let your troops unleash attacks more rapidly, so don't worry about muscle memory holding you back. Heroes are equally vital for your squad's survival as they are for progression; if your hero is defeated, it's game over regardless of how many squad members remain.

This update also represents a profound shift from the original premise of Squad Busters. For better or worse, it effectively reimagines the entire foundation of this Supercell crossover title. Meanwhile, based on community feedback, many players are excited to experience the changes and believe it will revitalize interest in Squad Busters.
