When playing Squad Busters for the 1st time, selecting a character is the most important part of the process.
These characters help you complete missions, earn in-game experience, unlock new and even rare characters.
Here’s a list of my top Squad Busters characters –
1. Hog Rider
Hog Rider is one of the characters in Squad Busters and is a Rare rarity character in the game.
The Hog Rider is not only one of the earliest characters players can unlock, but he also stands out due to his remarkable speed ability, which boosts your squad’s overall performance.
Additionally, he’s recognized for being a strong melee character with impressive damage output after his fusion ability is unlocked
How to Unlock Hog Rider?
From a Chest
You can find the Hog Rider from a chest that offers characters of Rare or higher rarity. As this method involves an element of luck, it might take several attempts depending on the game’s RNG (Random Number Generation).
Buy from the Shop
The more straightforward but costly method is to purchase the Hog Rider directly from the in-game shop. If you haven’t unlocked him, buying his first copy from the Shop will cost about 100,000 gold.
Once he is unlocked, acquiring additional copies for fusion will be cheaper.
2. Archer Queen
The Archer Queen is ranked second among the epic characters in Squad Busters. She’s not in first place because there’s a character considered slightly better. However, understanding her strengths will be key to leveraging her abilities.
How to Unlock and Use Archer Queen in Squad Busters:
- Start the Game with Strategic Troops: When beginning a game, consider starting with troops that can benefit from the Archer Queen’s abilities. For instance, pairing her with a long-range unit can make those units attack faster, significantly benefiting from her presence.
- Aim for a Tank and Archer Queen Combo: The ideal strategy involves obtaining a tank as part of your squad and then adding the Archer Queen. Tanks have high damage output but attack slowly. With the Archer Queen, tanks can attack more quickly, enhancing both their DPS and the Archer Queen’s effectiveness.
- Collect Troops Wisely: Focus on gathering troops that will synergize well with the Archer Queen’s abilities as you navigate the game. Long-range troops or those that can utilize the boost in attack speed are particularly advantageous.
- Use Strategic Points on Maps: Use the Archer Queen’s power to dominate strategic locations, especially in modes where positioning can turn the tide of battle. Her ability to boost attack speeds makes your troops formidable when holding or taking key points.
- Be Patient for Epic Chests: When playing modes like ring grab, you should wait until there’s a minute left in the game when all chests turn epic. This is an ideal time to find the Archer Queen without spending advanced resources.
- Optimize Your Queen’s Abilities: Alongside her direct benefits, the Archer Queen also comes equipped with an X-Bow, which can be a game-changer. Deploying the X-Bow wisely can secure victories, especially when holding down an area or focusing on a specific target.
- Synergize with Other Units: The Archer Queen enhances units like Shelly, making them even more effective with faster attack rates. Investigate which units in your collection work best with her for more strategic depth.
3. Tank
Tank is a Rare character in Squad Busters, which players can unlock in the Beach World. She is known for having moderate health and low damage, and her method of attack is from range by shooting a single projectile.

Moreover, her “Classic” ability has the power to occasionally overdrive her tank, enhancing its capabilities
