Supercell will introduce several adjustments to characters, summoned units, and MEGA units. These changes are as follows:

Character balancing: Supply-focused units have improved abilities to better balance them with fighters

• Chicken gives 1 additional Turbo Boot
• Baby Greg chops trees slightly faster
• Goblin gives more Coins when joining the Squad
• Trader gives 1 additional Gem after collecting enough Coins
• Mavis can now get Gems from Carrots in addition to Coins

Many characters have improved Health to help them last longer in fights, especially ranged units:

• Skeleton Spell deploys fewer Skeletons

Royale King Recruits have been drilled into shape to better guard their King:

• Royal Recruits have more damage and tons more Health

MEGA unit balancing:

MEGA units appear during matches less randomly and more often when you need them (sometimes):

• MEGA Units are now much less likely to appear for players with a high position or big Squad
• Instead, they appear more often for Squads that have been diminished later in the match
• Being close to getting busted and being in a low position increases chances of finding a MEGA
• Fewer MEGA units will be offered during matches
• MEGA Units will no longer appear until after 2:00 in the match
• MEGA Units will no longer appear to Squads that already have a MEGA Unit
• MEGA Units will no longer appear when using an Epic Key or Fusion Key
• MEGA Units will no longer appear for a while after you refuse one from a Chest

Battle Mods balancing:

• Tree Giants: now have a chance to drop The Log Spell
• Royal Haunt: Royal Ghosts drop more loot to better reward Ghost hunters
• Epic Overload: has been moved to Royal World
• Super Gem Mine: has been moved to Desert World

Other balancing changes in Squad Busters Global update:

• Turbo now recharges faster, so there's more running and less waiting
• Monsters now drop more Coins later in the match, to help ease rebuilding Squads
• Greg's Trees, Bea's Hives, and Tank's Tanks reappear faster to improve availability
• Blue Powerup Boxes drop 1 extra Coin to enable faster match starts
• Royal World maps spawn more Guards to help keep up the action
