Squad Busters Tier List – Bandit Update (July 2024)

Are you looking for an accurate Squad Busters tier list? Well, you found it. We analyzed all the characters in SB and how they perform throughout the game and pro play, detailing each one’s strengths and weaknesses. So, scroll down, and let’s dive straight into it.

Squad Busters Characters Tier List

S Tier Squad Busters Characters

• Trader — Trader is by far the best gold farming unit in Squad Busters. If you add Greg or Mavis to the mix, then you’ll literally be golden. Try to stack as much gold as you can before you get another trader for maximum gains.
• Max — Movement is crucial, especially in pro play, and Max provides just that. She or Hog Rider must be on your team, though Max is the worst of the two.
• Barbarian King — Barbarian King is a must if you are running with a melee team comp. The attack speed he provides for his allies is invaluable. Plus, his classic ability can knock away enemies that try to engage you and allow you to escape, or it may just straight-up one-shot them.
• Hog Rider — Similar to Max, Hog Rider improves the mobility of your squad immensely, and that’s a must in this game.
• Archer Queen — Archer Queen is one of the best offensive units in Squad Busters. In her baby form, she can increase other ranged units’ attack speed, and in her classic form, she gets exploding arrows, which can win you encounters in the first seconds. She is simply OP.
• Tank — In her baby form, Tank isn’t really that OP. However, once you get her to three stars, she becomes arguably the best DPS in the game. Combine her with the Archer Queen and a healer, and she will literally be invulnerable.
• Jessie — Jessie’s turrets are probably the best utility tool in Squad Busters. They allow you to lock off areas of the map and completely stonewall enemies. Use her together with Archer Queen for max DPS.
• Greg — Greg is arguably the second-best gold-farming character in Squad Busters. He is best used for the early game, as he can accelerate you immensely.

A Tier Squad Busters Characters

• Mavis — Mavis is a combination of Medic and Goblin. However, you’ll have to go out of your way towards carrot patches to get all that value. I think she is just a worse version of Greg.
• Battle Healer — Battle Healer is an alternative to Medic. The only difference is that she can give you bonus flat health, which might be more important than a higher HP regen.
• Shelly — Shelly is another strong ranged DPS you can pair with Archer Queen. However, she can be underwhelming before you get her evolutions.
• Medic — Medic is a healer, and he does that very well. However, he doesn’t work on all game modes, as teams who can one-shot make his regen meaningless.
• Colt — Colt, just like Shelly, is another unit you can use together with Archer Queen instead of Tank or Jessie. However, Shelly is a bit better by default.
• Ice Wizard — Ice Wizard’s ability, Ice Fan, can literally win you fights. However, you’ll need to get him to 2/4 stars to make him useful.
• Penny — Penny can deal solid damage, and she can help you keep your lead. However, Trader + Hog Rider seems like a better combo right now.
• Barbarian — In his baby form, the Barbarian is one of the worst units in the game. However, once you evolve him and get his super and ultra perks, he is easily an A-tier melee pick.
• Bandit — Bandit is an upgraded version of Goblin. Fuse two of her in the same match, and you’ll receive insane amounts of gems each time you bust a medium or larger monster. This alone can win you games sometimes.

B Tier Squad Busters Characters

• Bo — Bo is an excellent ranged DPS you can use in the early game to deal with monsters. However, he falls off the longer the game lasts.
• Wizard — Wizard’s spells can give you immense value. However, there are better offensive options on most modes.
• Pam — Pam is a slightly worse version of Medic and Battle Healer. You can still use her until you unlock them.
• Witch — Witch’s skeletons can aggro your enemies, allowing your DPSs to do their thing. Plus, they can also be useful offensively against tanky teams that can’t destroy them quickly.
• Mortis — Mortis is by no means a strong unit. However, inexperienced opponents will be intimidated by his spawns, giving you more control over the map.
• Heavy — Heavy is one of the best DPSs in the game. However, any knockback will reset him. It just seems unlikely he’ll provide you with more value throughout a match than Colt or Shelly, for example.
• Chicken — Chicken is a mix of Medic and Hog Rider. However, it doesn’t match the performance of either of those units.

C Tier Squad Busters Characters

• Bea — If you can fuse multiple Beas in a single match, she can be OP. However, getting a more balanced squad with Archer Queen, Tank, etc., is better straight-up.
• Goblin — Goblin is probably the worst resource-farming unit in Squad Busters. He just doesn’t provide enough value until you evolve him. I can’t see him being used over Trader, Greg, or someone else.
• Nita — Nita’s bear can tank a lot, but otherwise, she is pretty meh.
• Royale King — Royale King’s summons are just really bad. He doesn’t do much damage, and he isn’t that great of a tank.
• El Primo — El Primo is a tank but a fairly mediocre one. I don’t recommend using him unless you’ve got absolutely no frontline.

D Tier Squad Busters Characters

• Dynamike — Dynamike is really only good on Doppelganger. For everything else, he is simply useless.
• Dr. T — Dr. T is so disappointing. Because he is an epic unit, you’ll usually be getting him later in the match, and by that time, his crab will just be outscaled by other characters.

That’s all we’ve got so far for our Squad Busters tier list! As the game evolves and a clear meta emerges, we’ll be sure to update our guide with the latest rankings.
