Squad Busters June 2024 Update: All new features explained
New World: Ice World
With this update comes the new world, bringing three other characters as well which I will explain in another section. Just like the name suggests, it offers a fresh, frozen environment filled with unique challenges. Well alongside the characters, comes new mods, which brings in more excitement.
Super Ice Spirits mod introduces Giant Ice Spirits that jump around the map. Somewhat making me remember a card in a Supercell game. Next up, Golem Meteors is another thrilling mod, sending a barrage of Golems falling from the sky, each covered in Gems. These falling Golems offer a chance for us to amass wealth quickly but also require quick reflexes to avoid being overwhelmed by them.
In the 1-Coin Chests mod, the cost of Chests is drastically reduced to just one Coin. This allows you to open more Chests and acquire resources at a faster pace, significantly changing the tempo of the game and rewarding aggressive playstyles. Lastly, the Gem Hot Pot mod spawns pots of Gems that spill vast amounts for the first Squad to grab them, creating hotly contested areas.
Well, coming to its availability, as long as you’ve reached Desert World, you can play in Ice World for a week and start unlocking the new characters. During the event, bust Ice Spirits in Battles to earn Reward Chests, including Ice Chests that guarantee Ice World characters. After the event, Ice World will be added at the end of the Squad Journey.
New Characters
Four new characters are being added, three with the Ice World update and the other with the Summer Beach Party Season. The details of all the characters are below.
- Ice Wizard: Comes with the Super Freeze Spell ability that creates a larger and longer-lasting version of the normal Freeze Spell, immobilizing enemies and giving you the upper hand in battles. In his Classic form, the Ice Wizard attacks with frosty ice balls that fan out in a cone after the fourth hit.
- Dr. T: Another new character, he has the Mega Crab ability, which can be unleashed after collecting enough Coins. The Mega Crab chases other squads relentlessly, ignoring normal monsters and causing havoc among enemy ranks.
- Jessie: Jessie comes equipped with her loyal pet turret, Scrappy. After opening a Chest, Scrappy spawns and provides additional firepower. In her Super form, Jessie can drop a Turret Spell, allowing you to place Scrappy anywhere on the battlefield, creating strategic advantages and defensive positions.
- Bandit: A familiar Clash character, Bandit is all about Gems and loot. Her abilities focus on providing a substantial amount of Gems. Bandit adds a Gem when busting big monsters in her Classic form, while her Super and Ultra forms further increase the loot.
New Skins
New skins are coming to the shop including Ninja Goblin, Origami Barbarian King, Tour Guide Mavis, Kimono Witch, and Street Magic Wizard, each offering a unique look and theme. For those participating in the Gem Pass, July will feature the Pool Party Hog Rider skin, while August will introduce the Retro Future Colt skin.
Additionally, a special community skin, Black Belt Chicken, will be available for free. This, according to the update video, will be coming with a community event later on, so we can unlock it if the entire community works together and completes the tasks.
Future Seasons and Updates
Well, for July and August, two new seasons will also be hitting the game with the Beach Party Season and Burgers and Bullets Season. In July, the Beach Party Season kicks off with a new Gem Pass and introduces two new MEGA Units, Resort Royale King and Sunburn Barbarian. Following this, August brings the Burgers and Bullets Season, with two additional MEGAs again, Street Trader and Fast Food Tank.
