Squad Busters Unveils Major Hero Update Now Live

The latest update for Squad Busters has just been released, and it's a game-changer! The new Hero update shifts the focus from squaddies to powerful Heroes, supported by their trusty squaddies. Dive into the action with your Heroes' power moves, upgrade your squaddies, and experience faster, more intense gameplay.

Squad Busters has had its ups and downs in terms of popularity. While it remains a fun and accessible MOBA-like game, it hasn't quite met the expectations set by Supercell. However, this latest update might just be the draw that brings skeptical players back for another round.

Dubbed the most ambitious update in Supercell's history in over 15 years, Squad Busters' new update fundamentally changes its gameplay. Your squad is now divided into Heroes and Squaddies. Heroes are the new focal point, each with their own unique abilities and passives. Squaddies, on the other hand, continue to function as units did before, but with the added ability to be upgraded during matches. Additionally, you no longer need to stop your squad to attack, though doing so will boost your squaddies' attack speed.

This update transforms the core of Squad Busters, making your squad more resilient and shifting the game from a pseudo-RTS MOBA to a more traditional MOBA experience. Now, it's all about leveraging your Heroes and their 'power moves' while your squaddies provide support.

While some may argue that these changes deviate from Squad Busters' original design, it's difficult to deny their impact. Personally, although I enjoyed Squad Busters initially, I found myself not returning to it often. The shift to a hero-centric gameplay makes player actions more meaningful and engaging.
