S Tier Squad Busters Characters

  • The Archer Queen is a top offensive unit in Squad Busters. In her baby form, she boosts the attack speed of other ranged units, while her classic form is equipped with exploding arrows that can quickly turn the tide of battle. She is considered overpowered by many players.
  • If your team comp consists primarily of melee characters, the Barbarian King is an essential addition. His ability to increase attack speed for his allies is extremely valuable. Additionally, his signature move can easily push back any enemies attempting to engage you, giving you the chance to flee or potentially defeat them with one powerful strike.
  • The Hog Rider, like Max, significantly enhances the mobility of your team, which is essential in this game.
  • The most efficient way to farm gold in Squad Busters is by using the Trader unit. By adding Greg or Mavis to the team, you will greatly increase your gold earnings. It is recommended to accumulate as much gold as possible before recruiting another trader for optimal results.
  • Jessie’s turrets are widely considered the most effective utility tool in Squad Busters. They provide the ability to block off sections of the map and effectively block enemy movements. For optimal damage output, combining Jessie with Archer Queen is highly recommended.
  • Leon is a top-tier ranged DPS character, known for his ability to grant invisibility and speed boosts to your team. However, in order to unlock his most powerful perk, he must be upgraded to 3-stars.
  • The Ice Wizard’s powerful ability, Ice Fan, has the potential to secure victories in battles. However, in order to fully utilize his abilities, he must be upgraded to at least 2 stars out of 4.

A Tier Squad Busters Characters

  • Archer — While Archer is a viable ranged DPS option that synergizes well with Archer Queen, Leon appears to be the superior choice.
  • Greg is widely considered to be the second strongest gold-farming character in Squad Busters. He is most effective during the early stages of the game, as he has the ability to greatly boost your progress.
  • Bandit is an improved iteration of Goblin. If you merge two Bandits during a match, you will earn a significant number of gems every time you defeat a medium or larger monster. This strategy alone can lead to victory in some games.
  • Mavis is a blend of Medic and Goblin, but obtaining all the benefits will require you to intentionally seek out carrot patches.
  • Penny — Although Penny is able to deal solid damage and can assist in maintaining your lead, the current preferred combination appears to be Trader + Hog Rider.
  • Max is an important addition to any pro team due to her crucial movement abilities. While both Max and Hog Rider are necessary for success, Max is considered the weaker of the two options.
  • Mortis has been recognized as having the best minions in the game. These minions offer additional damage and tanking capabilities to your party, and are also capable of withstanding the strongest attacks from enemies.
  • In her infant stage, Tank may not seem overpowered. Yet, when she reaches three stars, she becomes arguably the most powerful damage dealer in the game. When paired with the Archer Queen and a healer, she becomes virtually invincible.

B Tier Squad Busters Characters

  • The Barbarian is considered one of the weakest units in the game when in his baby form. However, once evolved and equipped with his super and ultra perks, he becomes a top pick for melee combat, earning him an A-tier ranking.
  • Nita’s bear has great tanking abilities, but other than that, she is not very remarkable. She can be seen as an improvement over El Primo.
  • Pam is a reliable choice, ranking just above Medic and below Battle Healer in terms of effectiveness. She is a suitable pick when there are no other healing options available.
  • Chicken is a combination of Medic and Hog Rider. While it is currently effective, using Hog Rider or Max is even more advantageous.
  • Shelly — Another solid ranged DPS option to pair with the Archer Queen is Shelly. However, she may not be as effective until you have unlocked her evolutions.
  • The Battle Healer is a viable substitute for the Medic. The main distinction is her ability to provide bonus flat health, which may prove to be more crucial than a higher HP regeneration rate.
  • Wizard — While Wizard’s spells can provide great value, there are usually more effective offensive options available in most situations.

C Tier Squad Busters Characters

  • El Primo — While El Primo is a solid tank, there are better options available. He may come in handy at times, but he is not the most optimal choice.
  • Medic — As a healer, Medic excels at his role. However, his effectiveness is limited in certain game modes, as teams with the ability to quickly eliminate opponents render his healing abilities ineffective.
  • Colt is another option to pair with Archer Queen instead of Tank or Jessie, similar to Shelly. However, Shelly is slightly superior by default.
  • Bea — While having multiple Beas in a single match may make her overpowered, it is generally more effective to have a well-rounded team with other characters such as Archer Queen and Tank.
  • Although being untargetable has its benefits, Miner’s other uses are not as effective as those of other melee units.
  • The Witch’s skeletons can attract the attention of your enemies, enabling your DPSs to focus on their attacks. However, the Witch’s low defensive capabilities prevent her from becoming a popular choice in the current meta.

D Tier Characters for Squad Busting

  • Dynamike — While Dynamike is a great choice for Doppelganger, he may not be as effective in other game modes.
  • Heavy — In most cases, having Heavy on your team can be a disadvantage. There are other DPSs and tanks who may be more effective.
  • Bo is a great ranged DPS option for dealing with monsters in the early game. However, as the game progresses, his effectiveness diminishes significantly.
  • Goblin is widely regarded as the least effective resource-farming unit in Squad Busters. It is not until he evolves that he starts to offer sufficient value. Even then, I cannot see him being chosen over Trader, Greg, or any other unit.

E Tier Squad Busters Characters

  • Royale King’s summons are lacking in effectiveness. They do not deal significant damage and do not make for strong tanks.
  • Dr. T — Despite being an epic unit, Dr. T often disappoints in battle. As he is typically obtained later in the match, his crab will often be outmatched by other characters at that point.

Our Squad Busters tier list is currently up to date with all the information we have. As the game continues to develop and a dominant meta is established, we will regularly update our guide with the most recent rankings. In the meantime, we encourage you to follow Twinfinite for updates on the meta in various mobile games such as Astra: Knights of Veda and Ludus Merge Arena.
