The main Squad Busters HUD serves as the central hub where players can monitor their squad's progress, missions, achievements, and more. It's imperative to thoroughly explore this interface to maximize rewards and accelerate progression, especially for free-to-play enthusiasts.
In the early stages, players start with one unit chosen from three random options. This initial decision sets the tone for the match, and players must choose wisely from the available options: Goblin, Hog Rider, and Chicken. Each one has different usage and damage potential.
Goblin is quite handy at providing extra coins in every match and deals 170 damage in the Baby form, while the Chicken has a Turbo Boot for enhanced mobility. In the Baby form, Chicken can deal up to 120 damage to the adversaries. In contrast, Baby Hog Rider inflicts 150 damage and possesses enhanced speed on the grassland.

Understanding the nuances of unit types and their evolution is fundamental to success in Squad Busters. Each unit starts in its basic "baby" form, progressing to a "classic" form with enhanced abilities upon combining multiple units. Finally, units can reach their "super" form, boasting even greater power and capabilities.
Additionally, players may encounter rare MEGA Units, such as El Tigre, and Dragon Chicken. While these units offer enhanced strengths, they are quite scarce in the current meta.
