Squad Busters Beginner Guide - Tips, Tricks and More

Squad Busters is here, and while it can easily be seen as a casual game, there are some things that players should know before they jump in. That's where our Squad Busters beginner guide comes in.

Developed by Finnish developer Supercell, known for their well-loved mobile games like Clash of Clans and Hay Day, Squad Busters is their newest game.

In it, players will collect a squad full of heroes to fight off enemies and collect gems. It sounds simple enough, but there are plenty of things to learn so that your first few hours of Squad Busters are both memorable and fulfilling.

Squad Busters Tips and Tricks

Having started Squad Busters for the first time, these tips and tricks will help you stand out among the crowd. Not only will you be ahead of the game, but with our help, you'll easily become a master at this squad-building game in no time at all.

Start With Goblin

Goblin may look like an unappealing hero, but his natural ability to spawn gold makes him one of the most efficient heroes during the early stages of Squad Busters. The more gold you have, the more you can purchase as the game progresses, which will be all the more helpful in building your squad.

Avoid The Vines

Like battle royale games, the map that you and other players fight on will get smaller over time. As it does, you'll encounter vines pushing inwards on the edge of the map—avoid them like your life depends on it.

Interacting with the vines will cause damage, as well as push you to the center of the map where other players will be. And they may be looking to bust you up to steal your precious gems, so plan wisely.

Focus On Yourself

It's true that one of the main features of Squad Busters is that you and your squad can bust up other players and steal their gems, but for new players? We recommend that you focus on yourself and building up your squad first.

The reason for this is that trying to pick fights with players may not always go in your favour, especially if these players have taken the time to focus on upgrading and improving their squad.

If you desperately feel like you need to bust (behave), then only do so if you feel confident in your team's fighting abilities.

Gems, Gems, Gems

Gems are the most important thing for a player to have. Having the most will help you win the game, and you can also use gems to level up your Gem Pass.

The Gem Pass works like your regular Battle Pass, with a free and paid version, and can offer a wild selection of rewards. So always try your best to win.

Collect More Characters With Chests

If you find yourself liking a particular hero, you'll most certainly want more of them. Most characters are found in chests, which players earn after each match.

Depending on how well a player has done in the match, the higher the chance a chest will upgrade and reveal a hero with a higher rarity type. The rarer a hero, the stronger they are.

Characters can also be obtained by unlocking worlds and/or purchasing them in the in-game store. That said, it is entirely possible to collect the heroes you want solely by earning chests after your matches.

Diversify Your Squad

The more diverse your squad's makeup, the better your chances of standing out against the enemies you encounter.

With six classes, your Squad Busters heroes all have unique abilities and capabilities that'll make them useful, no matter their rarity type. You just need to see what they can do, what best fits your playstyle, and then pick what suits you best.

That's all the tips and tricks you need from our Squad Busters beginner guide to guarantee your success. For more information, check out our pages on codes, where the game is currently available to play, and what to expect when the exciting squad-building game launches globally.
