Here are the key balance adjustment to various Squad Busters characters with the Transformers update:

• El Primo: His Health has been increased, and his Flying Elbow Drop now occurs more frequently. These buffs solidify his role as a major threat in Desert World.
• Medic: The healing power of both Medic and their Heal Packs has been boosted, ensuring they remain effective with the game’s recent Health buffs.
• Dynamike: Dynamike’s attack speed and the speed of his dynamite have been increased, making him more effective in long-range, sustained combat.
• Super Bandit: Now drops more Gems, offering increased rewards for those who defeat him.
• Leon: His Invisibility Spell has been reworked. Leon's squad no longer loses invisibility if they get too close to an opponent, and they only become visible when attacking or taking damage. This update makes the spell easier to use and offers clearer counterplay opportunities.

Battle mod alterations introduced in Squad Busters Transformers update

Here are some of the adjustments introduced in the existing battle mods:

• Crystal Forest: Hero Greg now chops trees faster, enhancing the speed of gathering resources. Additionally, Crystal Trees spawn more frequently, keeping the action fast-paced.
• Timeout: To simplify timing, the timer no longer speeds up during the Final Stretch, and its maximum duration has been reduced. Clock pickups are now worth less time as the battle progresses, but they drop from more sources, such as Glimmers, Trees, and Monsters, keeping the tension up in late-game situations.
• Hatchling Herder: Players can now fuse three Giant Hatchlings, increasing their Health and Gem value by 3x. However, their Gem value before fusion has been reduced to emphasize the fusion mechanic. More Giant Hatchlings now spawn throughout the battle.
