Gameplay Overview
This is the easiest section of the name, basically needs no introduction, but I’ll brush this with important details. This game brings a mix of idle elements with RPG, but both don’t go together. Confused? Let me explain.
You control an increasing number of buster armies as you progress in a four-minute game, against nine other players. You need to collect Gold, Gems, and Boosts to climb up the ranks and top the charts by getting the highest number of Gems.
Forming a team in Squad Busters
In Squad Busters, mastering the Characters is essential for success. Before assembling a squad of characters, you need to understand what exactly they are and the roles they play. Each falls into one of the six categories: Allrounder, Supplier, Speedster, Defender, Attacker, and Healer. Understanding these roles is key to forming a well-balanced team that can handle any challenge.
Each character will undergo evolution, which is explained in detail in another guide. Another type of troops is the Mega Units. Megas are the most powerful type of troops currently. They are available through the Gem Pass or can be bought from the shop. While the types of characters are discussed, another essential aspect that comes with the game is the Fusion of Characters.
In Squad Busters, Fusion is the process of combining three identical heroes into one more powerful hero of the same type. The process is simple, just select the character you want to fusion while unlocking chests in the game. This not only increases the hero’s stats but also helps manage the cost of opening chests. As the game progresses, this aspect becomes vital for maintaining an efficient squad and avoiding being busted by other players.
Squad Busters Beginners Guide: Tips and Tricks
Let’s dive in on some useful tips to know and master to have an improved and easy Squad Busters experience.
1. Utilize Gold Wisely
Gold is plentiful in Squad Busters, but spending it wisely is key. The most efficient use of coins is in the shop, where you can purchase chest tickets that you can utilize once you complete a match. Utilize these tickets alongside win streak bonuses to maximize their value and accelerate your progress.
2. Mix and match to get the best squad
Most of you make this mistake of having one type of character I suggest that in the early stages of the game, focus on efficient farming to build a formidable squad. While starting your game, prioritize units like Barbarian, Colt, and El Primo, which excel at clearing out the map and accumulating resources, since they offer both brawling and ranged support.
Once you know the characters well, select heroes that fit well with your overall strategy. For example, if you prefer an aggressive playstyle, focus on fusing high-DPS heroes. If you lean towards a more defensive or balanced approach, consider fusing tanks or support heroes.
3. Correct use of the Turbo boost
Turbo is a feature that can be very important to turn tides in the battle quite often since the gameplay is designed that way. Its working is simple, holding the turbo button will make you move faster and not holding it will recharge it. Why this is essential because Turbo also helps not only with moving speed but also increases your attack speed.
So see where the high number of opponent spawns are, if you want to take them down, take advantage of the Turbo boost. If you want to have more turbo, spawn specific characters like Chicken or Hog Rider. Turbos also appear on the map just running around, so grab them. Keeping Turbo’s for a long time is of no use either, so once filled quickly search for its use case.
4. Utilize Chest Ticket value
Chest tickets are crucial for earning chests at the end of battles, which can contain new heroes or duplicates to upgrade existing ones. They are available in the shop for coins that offer a better value than buying characters directly. Save your coins to purchase chest tickets, as they help you to up your progress quickly.
5. Fusions for a stronger squad
Just like I mentioned before at the start of this guide, Fusions are very important. A higher-star fusion helps in controlling your progress and tank in more damage while protecting other units. Although Mega Units are available, I suggest you use them wisely as you need to avoid relying solely on megas and build a balanced squad.
6. Gem Mine strategies
I’ve seen many new players make this mistake, so my suggestion is to avoid the temptation to rush for gems right away. Instead, focus on opening chests to build a bigger squad and then go for the rush.
Or else, you can cleverly wait for the other players to do the dirty work, and then look for those high gem counts and straight away defeat them and take their gems. Before all the cases I have mentioned, make sure you have a strong team. Late game, more gems will drop in the centre, so there’s always a chance to catch up.
7. Try to maintain Streaks
Streaks are a significant part of the game. To start a streak, you need to place fifth or higher in a game. The higher your streak, the bigger the rewards you get from chests. If you place sixth or lower, you have the option to pay coins to continue your streak. If you choose not to pay, your streak will reset.
8. Free Chests for quick progress
Take advantage of the free chest that you can collect every day. Additionally, you can save and open chests from your squad journey when you reach a new world, allowing you to unlock characters from that new world. Alongside, click on the plaza chest throughout the day for extra coins, which you can unlock from your Squad Journey.
9. Spell deployments done right
Spells can be more versatile than they initially appear. Some spells can be thrown to specific locations by tapping and dragging like a joystick, and hence this helps in placing them easily. Before you jump into the game, learn about spells in detail.
10. Quickly progress with the Achievements
Don’t overlook achievements in the achievements book section, since they help provide a lot of resources for you. Click on completed achievements to unlock more quests, make some changes to your gameplay on that basis, and earn rewards quickly. Beginner challenge is another section to keep an eye on for quick rewards.
