| Greg | Supplier | Pick him during the early stages of a match and he’ll chop down trees for Gems and Coins. |

| El Primo | Defender | A tanky unit who mainly uses melee attacks but with his Super ability, you can deal AoE damage. |
| Chicken | Speedster | Does decent damage but the main utility is its speed boost that improves as you unlock the Super form. |
| Medic | Healer | Heals himself and other team members over time, and he gets quicker and more effective at healing in Super form. |
| Dynamike | Attacker | This character is all about throwing explosive and dealing AoE damage to opponents. |
| Hog Rider | Speedster | He is all about the speed and gets a major acceleration boost when roaming on grass. |
| Witch | Attacker | Boasts one of the highest base damage in Squad Busters and the overall damage output increases with the Skeleton Barrel spell. |
| Barbarian King | Defender | Easily one of the best tanks in the game with 3000 Health. He can also stun and knock enemies while increasing the melee attack speed of all other squad members. With the Super form, he can also heal himself when not attacking. |
| Archer Queen | Attacker | Very similar to the Barbarian King but she boosts the damage of ranged units instead. She also throws explosive arrows that knock back and stun enemies. |
| Shelly | All-Rounder | Shelly can fire bullets through many enemies and also heal herself. Her damage increases significantly with the Super upgrade. |
| Bo | Attacker | Bo deals 100% more damage to monsters. This jumps to 125% with the first upgrade and in his Super form, Bo also drops a mine that is triggered by monsters. |
| Nita | Defender | Nita spawns with a bear that starts to respawn after the first upgrade. The bear gets enraged in Super form and attacks a lot quicker. |
| Bea | Attacker | Bea specializes in picking bees from different hives on the map and her bees get stronger and durable with the upgrades. |
| Battle Healer | Healer | All characters get a 400 Health boost with Battle Healer and this amount increases to 600 in the Super form. The Classic form lets you get healing upon opening chests. |
| Max | Speedster | Max grants speed boosts to all allies and extends it after defeating enemies. The requirements to charge the speed boost is decreased as she gets into the Super form. |
| Mavis | Supplier | She collects Coins from carrot patches. In the Classic form, she gets bonus Coins after clearing a patch and in the Super form, she heals all units after picking a carrot. |
| Trader | Supplier | He grants you one Coin for every 15 Gems you collect. In the Classic form, his Gems heal your squad and in his Super form, you get two Coins for every 15 Gems collected. |
| Wizard | Attacker | Mainly deals splash damage to opponents. You can get random spells by adding him to your team and hold two spells together in his Classic form. Monsters have a higher chance of dropping spells when defeated. |
| Pam | Healer | Pam lets you open a healing station when you open chests and it lasts for eight seconds. In Classic form, the healing station grants additional heals when destroyed and the True form adds another healing station spell to your inventory. |
| Royale King | Defender | Royale King is as tanky as it gets and for attacking, it relies on the Royale Recruits and an Elite Recruit can be added through a spell with his Super form. |
| Mortis | All-Rounder | Mortis is arguably the best melee attacker you can have on your team who can also respawn dead monsters to fight for you. The respawned allies turn into bats when defeated and attack nearest opponents. |
| Heavy | Defender | Heavy has amazing damage and a ton of health. His attack speed increases when not moving and at Classic, he heals when attacking with the speed boost. |
| Penny | Supplier | Penny has high damage and helps you find buried Treasures on the map. The quality of loot you get from these treasures increases in her Super and Classic forms. |
