“The best thing added to this game since launch” - Fans are excited about new Squad Busters update

Supercell, the developer behind Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, and Brawl Stars, has rolled out the new Squad Busters x Transformers update. Fans have been eagerly waiting for this patch since it introduces Star Chests and iconic Transformers like Optimus Prime to the game.

The introduction of Star Chests is the highlight of the collaboration, as most players believe these items make it easier to get new characters and level them up. Star Chests can be unlocked using Star Tokens.

Redditor u/axolicion recently started a discussion about Star Chests on the social networking platform, saying:

"The best thing added to this game since launch."

The post was soon flooded with comments, with many players declaring the Squad Busters x Transformers update the best since the game’s launch.

Most players love the addition of Star Chests and believe they make it easier to gain the Ultra (4-star) and Ultimate (5-star) evolutions of characters. According to them, evolving characters has also become easier with the removal of the daily cap of 200 Portal Energies.

Redditor u/Broken-Digital-Clock praised Supercell for removing keys, noting that they prevented them from quitting the game. Similarly, u/haulric stated that the decision to eliminate keys and mega evolutions has improved the title significantly.

u/EmilianoDTH said Supercell has perfected the account progression system. They added that the introduction of Star Chests offers a fair monetization method, as players are more inclined to spend money to unlock them directly.

u/nm7leadfarmer commented that although they agree the Squad Busters x Transformers update is the best so far, they believe many players will still find issues with it. They summed up the Squad Busters community as:

"We really are a varied bunch lol."

According to many players, Squad Busters is becoming more like a gacha game, similar to Genshin Impact, as unlocking new characters now requires opening chests. u/JudoKuma echoed this sentiment, stating:

"It was a gatcha game from the start, why are you surprised that they made gatcha type progression for a gatcha game?"

The new update has undeniably made it easier to obtain new characters. Many fans reported that the new Star Chests and free update rewards allowed them to acquire multiple new characters, including 4-star and 5-star ones, in just one day — a process that previously took six months.

Having said that, this update may raise concerns among players who have spent real money to unlock most characters, as Star Chests might offer them fewer and less valuable rewards.

Supercell's decision to introduce Star Chests in the Squad Busters x Transformers update, making it easier to obtain Ultra and Ultimate characters, aims to make the game more accessible for F2P (free-to-play) players. It significantly reduces the grind required to unlock top-tier units.

By making the game more F2P-friendly, Supercell hopes to attract new players and retain the existing player base.
