Squad Busters Unveils Major Hero Update Now Live

by Daniel May 18,2025

Squad Busters' latest update introduces a significant shift in gameplay dynamics with the introduction of Heroes, marking a new chapter for the game. This update is touted as the most ambitious change to any Supercell game in over 15 years, redefining the core mechanics of Squad Busters. The game now pivots around Heroes, which are central to your strategy and come equipped with unique abilities and passives, supported by Squaddies that can be upgraded mid-match.

The gameplay has evolved from a pseudo-RTS MOBA to a more traditional MOBA style, where the focus is on utilizing the Heroes' 'power moves' effectively, with Squaddies playing a supportive role. This change allows for a more fluid gameplay experience, as you no longer need to stop your squad to initiate attacks, although doing so can enhance the Squaddies' attack speed.

While some players might miss the original essence of Squad Busters, the shift towards Heroes adds a layer of depth and consequence to player actions, potentially rejuvenating interest in the game. Whether this update will bring back skeptical players remains to be seen, but it certainly offers a fresh take on the Squad Busters experience.

As you consider diving back into Squad Busters to explore these new dynamics, you might also want to explore other strategy games. Check out our lists of the top 25 strategy games for iOS and Android to find more options that can satisfy your strategic gaming needs.
