Squad Busters – how to unlock characters?

In Squad Busters, characters can be unlocked through several methods:

1. Squad Journey Progression: As you complete different worlds in Squad Journey, you can earn chests that have a chance to contain new characters. This method is time-intensive but doesn’t require in-game purchases.
2. Opening Reward Chests: Using coins, you can open chests that may include new characters. Focus on opening chests that offer the highest chance for characters rather than other rewards.
3. Battle Pass and In-Game Purchases: The Battle Pass and certain premium packs can unlock characters more quickly. This is the fastest but costliest option.
4. Special Events and Challenges: Limited-time events sometimes provide exclusive characters as rewards for completing specific tasks or milestones.
5. Connecting Supercell ID: Linking your Supercell ID can unlock certain characters like the Archer Queen. However, some guides suggest delaying this step until you’ve progressed enough to maximize rewards.

For a detailed guide on unlocking characters, check resources like Pocket Gamer or the Squad Busters Fandom Wiki.

How to unlock Bandit?

In Squad Busters, you can unlock the Bandit character through the “Grow Your Squad” event. This event, tied to the Green World, allows you to add the Bandit to your roster by completing specific challenges or obtaining her from Battle Chests during the event period. The Bandit is classified as a Rare character with unique abilities, including generating gems when selected or after defeating specific types of enemies.

To maximize your chances, actively participate in the event, focus on progressing in the Green World, and aim for rewards that include character unlocks. You can find more detailed instructions and updates on the official Squad Busters site or their community posts.

How to unlock Optimus Prime?

To unlock Optimus Prime in Squad Busters, you need to participate in the special Transformers event, which revolves around collecting “Energon.” This event offers two key ways to acquire the Energon required for unlocking Optimus Prime:

1. Collecting Energon Cubes During Matches: Energon cubes are obtained by playing matches and opening chests. You can increase your Energon collection by focusing on areas with higher concentrations of resources during gameplay. Additionally, specific Battle Mods like “Unicron Attacks” provide opportunities to earn Energon by defeating Decepticon tanks and Unicron.
2. Daily Shop Offers: Check the in-game shop for free Energon bonuses, which can boost your collection without using premium resources.

Optimus Prime is a special character with limited evolution forms (up to the Super tier). His abilities include high hit points, defensive skills, and squad healing in his Super form.

This event is limited-time, so active participation is crucial to unlocking Optimus Prime and maximizing his potential in your squad.

How to unlock Archer Queen?

To unlock the Archer Queen in Squad Busters, follow these steps:

1. Complete the tutorial: Start the game and go through the introductory tutorial to access the main menu.
2. Link a Supercell ID:
   • Open the Settings menu.
   • Select the Connect ID option.
   • Log in to your Supercell ID if you already have one, or create a new account by choosing Register Now.
3. Verify and Claim:
   • If registering, complete the email verification and set a name for your ID.
   • Once done, you’ll see a pop-up in the game allowing you to claim the Archer Queen for your squad.

After claiming, the Archer Queen will be available to add to your party and use in gameplay.

How to unlock Hog Rider?

To unlock Hog Rider in Squad Busters, you need to obtain him through chests, which can be acquired by playing in the Green World. Each chest you earn has a chance of containing characters specific to that world, including Hog Rider. The process involves some luck, as the characters you unlock are randomized.

Alternatively, you might find Hog Rider in the daily shop offers, but this will require a significant amount of in-game currency (100,000 coins). Keep an eye on the shop, as the character listings refresh every 24 hours. This method provides a more direct way to add Hog Rider to your squad without relying on random drops from chests.

How to unlock Elita-1?

In Squad Busters, Elita-1 is unlocked during the second week of the Transformers event. Like Optimus Prime, she is available through an event or a limited-time challenge. Elita-1 brings a strong long-range attack with her turbo ability, enhancing her attack speed during her Classic Evolution, while the Super Evolution extends the duration of this turbo boost.

To unlock her, you will likely need to participate actively in the Transformers event, as she may not be available through the standard Squad Journey or other permanent unlock methods. Make sure to keep an eye on event schedules or check in-game announcements for specific details on how to access her during her availability window.
