Squad Busters tier list is crucial for the community, especially since the game is still new, and because of its ever-changing meta. The developer keeps changing the meta to keep the game engaging for the players. However, it gets hard for the players to keep track of the units that entered or fell out from the list of the top players. Besides, since Supercell is introducing new characters to the game every now and then, knowing their standing in the tier list also helps the players.

Therefore. This article tries to list all the characters of Supercell’s latest crossover multiplayer title in the Squad Busters tier list for December 2024.

S tier

S tier includes some of the best units currently available in the game. Units like Barbarian King, being a Defender class hero, can help you safeguard the low HP characters of your team. On the other hand, if you need more damage dealing aspect you can choose Archer Queen, one of the most formidable attackers in the game.

There is also Hog Rider who has been present in the S tier ever since the release of this unit with amazing, attacking ability and speed burst. With this unit in your team, the Turbo Boosts lasts a little longer.

Furthermore, Ruffs is also a great addition to the S tier this season.

CharacterRarityReason
Barbarian KingEpicThe Barbarian King is a defender with high damage-dealing capabilities in melee combat. This unit’s attack speed gives him the power to take down multiple enemy and world bosses alone, and his tanky build safeguards the allies.
Archer QueenEpicArcher Queen is among the best ranged characters currently available in the game. Her being able to target multiple enemies at once makes her one of the finest Attackers.
TraderCommonTrader is among the best healers in the game currently, probably only second to Poco. This unit is a top pick, especially when you are trying to run a high DPS team.
Hog RiderRareHog Rider has a special ability that increases the duration of Turbo Boosts, helping allies enter and escape Squad fights easily. Besides, their attack speed and high damage dealing ability also proves to be crucial for the team.
RuffsEpicThis Epic rarity character has high damage dealing capabilities, and can help you eliminate monsters, and units from enemy squads easily.
Ice WizardRareIce Wizard is one of the recent launches, and is one of the top picks in the game. He can deal extreme damage by throwing ice projectiles. Getting Ice Wizards in their baby form will also help you get a Super Freeze Spell every time.

A tier

We have units like Max and Jessie in the A tier. You can rely on these Attackers to deal immense damage. On the other hand, there are Suppliers like Greg, who will chop down the trees to keep bringing you Gems and Coins during matches.

Besides, if you could not get a Hog Rider on your team, having Speedsters like Max can also help you escape congested team fights, and save your squad from getting Busted in such crucial situations. Newly released units like Optimus Prime and Elita-1 from the Transformers collaboration are also a part of this section.


B tier

In the B tier, there are All-rounders like Archer in this tier, who can attack enemies, and defend their allies simultaneously, thus, a great pick for your team if you fail to manage to get the top-tier attackers. Suppliers like Mavis and Goblin can also help. However, if you want to increase your damage in the game using the B-tier characters, there are some great options such as the Leon, Jessie, and more.


C tier

The C tier might surprise some players as we have units like Bo, Witch, Nita, and Chicken in this tier. However, these units have fallen from their top, and are currently used as the last resort or in moments of desperation when players fail to find better alternatives.


D tier

This is the worst bunch of units in the current game. None of these players can actually make a difference in intense Squad Battle situations. Therefore, it is best to avoid these units.
