Squad Busters Unveils Major Hero Update Now Live

The latest update for Squad Busters has just dropped, and it's all about the new Heroes. These powerful characters are now the centerpiece of the game, supported by squaddies who help them dominate the battlefield. With this update, you can unleash your heroes' power moves, upgrade your squaddies, and experience faster, more intense gameplay.

Squad Busters has experienced fluctuating popularity since its launch. While it remains a fun and accessible game with MOBA-like elements, it hasn't fully met the expectations set by Supercell. However, the latest update might just draw skeptical players back for another round.

This update is being touted as the most significant change to any Supercell game in over 15 years. It fundamentally alters Squad Busters' gameplay by introducing a split between Heroes and Squaddies. Heroes are now the core of your squad, equipped with unique abilities and passives, while squaddies act as support units that can be upgraded during matches. Additionally, you no longer need to stop your squad to attack, though doing so will make your squaddies strike faster.

While some might argue that this update strays from Squad Busters' original design, the shift towards Heroes adds more weight to player decisions. Although I was initially drawn to Squad Busters, I found myself not returning to it often. This new focus on Heroes could reignite interest and bring more strategic depth to the game.
