Squad Busters<\/strong>\u00a0is bringing another mega update (yeah, spoilers if you haven\u2019t watched the video yet) this May 2025 as they celebrate their\u00a01st Anniversary<\/strong>. Available on the 13th of May, we\u2019ll see a lot of new changes going into the matches as they have introduced\u00a0Heroes\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Squaddies<\/strong>, while having Pinata Events to reward us, so let me share all the details.<\/p>\n

Squad Busters May 2025 update: New features and additions explained<\/h2>\n

Heroes are arriving<\/h3>\n

Remember, we all assumed it might be the end when they announced\u00a0Archer Queen<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Mortis<\/strong>\u00a0are\u00a0permanently removed<\/strong>? It was super shocking when two more names were announced. However, the surprise was, they all are coming back into the game as\u00a0Heroes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

So, in Squad Busters, every match begins with your choice of hero. Each hero has a unique power you can aim and trigger in battle, plus a trait that passively boosts your team throughout the match. Powers have cooldowns, while traits are always active. You can pick two powers to begin.<\/p>\n

On top of that, every hero has a turbo boost, letting your squad move faster. You\u2019ll also find special dashes on certain heroes as well. Four heroes are available in this update:\u00a0Barbarian King, Archer Queen, Royal King<\/strong>, and\u00a0Mortis<\/strong>. A fifth hero has also been teased, although no details are available.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Again, all these four are of different playstyles:\u00a0Fighter, Hotshot, Supplier,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Summoner, respectively<\/strong>. You\u2019ll get your first hero for free, where you can choose between King or Queen. The other three can be unlocked with coins or special events. More details in the next section.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Squaddies join the Heroes<\/h3>\n

While Heroes are the backbone of your offense, Squaddies join the party as the secondary troop, or you can say backup for your heroes. They each bring their passive trait, and as you evolve them, their abilities and powers grow stronger.<\/p>\n

Collecting duplicates allows you to merge squaddies into stronger forms, and now with this update, if you get two of the same squaddies in battle, they fuse automatically. A third one? That evolves them into a\u00a0Mega Squaddie<\/strong>. Mega Units aren\u2019t back, but Mega is somewhat still there<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Squaddies will die if the Hero dies, so make sure to protect your heroes here. The evolution system for the squaddies is like this:\u00a0Baby, Classic, Super, Ultra,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Ultimate.<\/strong>\u00a0Just like heroes, they also belong to different playstyles.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Hero Journey System<\/h3>\n
\n

Another separate menu addition is the hero journey system. This lets you upgrade your hero\u2019s powers, traits, and turbo boosts using\u00a0hero points<\/strong>, which you earn mainly through daily quests. Along the journey, you can also unlock skins, emotes, and new squaddies. All heroes will have a separate journey.<\/p>\n
