Squad Busters Unveils Major Hero Update Now Live

Squad Busters has just rolled out an exciting new Hero update that's turning heads and drawing back even the most skeptical players. If you thought you'd seen the last of this game, think again! This update marks the most ambitious overhaul in Supercell's lineup in over 15 years, fundamentally reshaping the gameplay dynamics of Squad Busters.

The core of this update revolves around the introduction of Heroes. No longer just a squad of units, your team is now a dynamic duo of powerful Heroes and supportive Squaddies. Heroes are the stars of the show, each equipped with unique abilities and passives that make them the central focus of your strategy. Meanwhile, Squaddies play a crucial supporting role, similar to the units of old, and can be upgraded mid-match to boost their effectiveness.

One of the most significant changes is the removal of the need to stop your squad to attack. Now, your squad can continue moving while engaging enemies, although stopping them will allow your Squaddies to attack more rapidly. This shift transforms Squad Busters from a pseudo-RTS MOBA to a more classic MOBA experience, emphasizing the strategic use of Heroes and their 'power moves' alongside their Squaddie support.

Personally, I found Squad Busters engaging at first but lacked the motivation to keep playing. This shift to a Hero-centric gameplay model makes player actions feel more impactful and engaging.
