Squad Busters Unveils Major Hero Update Now Live

By JonathanMay 19,2025

The new Hero update for Squad Busters is now live, bringing a significant shift to the game's dynamics. This update emphasizes Heroes, supported by Squaddies, offering players new ways to engage with faster, more intense gameplay. Squad Busters has experienced fluctuating popularity, but this update might just be the catalyst to draw skeptical players back into the fold.

Supercell's latest update for Squad Busters is hailed as their most ambitious in over 15 years. This release fundamentally alters the gameplay by introducing a distinction between Heroes and Squaddies. Heroes now act as the core of your squad, equipped with unique abilities and passives, while Squaddies maintain their traditional roles but can be upgraded during matches. A notable change is the ability to attack without halting your squad, with the option to make Squaddies attack faster by pausing.

This update transforms Squad Busters from a pseudo-RTS MOBA to a more traditional MOBA experience. The focus on Heroes and their 'power moves' supported by Squaddies shifts the gameplay to be more about strategic use of these powerful units. While some may miss the original design, the shift to Heroes makes player actions more impactful and engaging.
