Strategies to play Shelly in Squad Busters

Since Shelly is an all-rounder character, players should preferably use as many Shelly in the squad as they can. She can tank the squad from enemy attacks and also counter-attack them using her gun.

Attacking-wise, Shelly is one of the best characters for battle mods. She should be dropped initially with Barbarian as both the all-rounders' characters can attack more monsters and gain coins. These coins can then be used to add more squad members as the game progresses.

Shelly has pretty good health, so players can also use her as a defender with low-health attacking characters like Archer Queen and Colt. They can also use Shelly in Squad Busters with Barbarian King, Mortis, Mavis, Barbarian, and Heavy.
