Character

Description

Archer Queen

You’ll love using the Archer Queen for her long-range attacks that tear through groups of enemies with ease. As she evolves, her arrows turn into rapid multi-shots, letting you control entire lanes. Pair her with tanks so she can attack safely from behind. She’s great at taking down splash-heavy enemies like the Wizard without much trouble.

Barbarian King

You get pure power with the Barbarian King. His spinning attack wipes out minions fast, and when he evolves, his rage aura boosts your squad’s speed and damage. He’s perfect for aggressive Heist pushes, but be careful of Leon’s invisible strikes that can catch him off guard.

Hog Rider

This guy’s all about speed and quick hits. You can use him to dash in, grab coins, and escape before the enemy reacts. After evolving, he becomes even faster, leaping over defenses nonstop. He works amazingly well with support units like the Trader for endless hit-and-run plays, making him a must-have for open maps.

Tank (Giant)

The Tank is your main frontline protector, built to soak up massive amounts of damage. When she evolves, she creates small versions of herself that distract enemies, helping you collect coins safely. The recent patch made her even better, increasing her taunt range so enemies focus on her more easily.

Ice Wizard

You can count on the Ice Wizard to slow down and freeze groups of enemies, giving your team time to evolve and strike back. His ultimate creates a chilling zone that completely locks down objectives. He’s especially powerful in squad league matches where controlling the battlefield matters most.

Trader

If you’re looking to earn more coins, the Trader is your best pick. She gives you extra coins with every kill and, after evolving, can even duplicate your squad members during fights. She’s super helpful if your squad is underleveled and has become a key part of the meta thanks to her coin-boosting abilities.

Character

Description

Mavis

You can dash in with Mavis and leave a trail of poison that slowly melts enemy tanks. When she evolves, her chain dashes let you hit multiple targets quickly, making her a strong counter to slow-moving foes like Pam.

Mortis

Mortis is perfect for picking off targets with his dash-and-dodge playstyle. Once he evolves, his bat swarm can disrupt enemy healers. He works best in mobile squads but needs some room to avoid area-denial attacks.

Max

Max boosts your team’s speed like no other. Her jump packs speed up everyone around her, and after evolving, she turns into a railgun sniper. She’s a key pick if you want to push fast in November’s rapid-paced meta.

Jessie

Jessie keeps enemies at bay with her turret spam. Evolving gives her sticky bombs, letting you control space even more. She pairs well with Nita to create bear-and-turret defensive walls.

Barbarian

Simple but deadly, the Barbarian thrives in melee combat. His evolution adds a shield-bashing horde, making him an easy, budget-friendly choice for new players climbing toward gold league.

Leon

Leon is your go-to invisible ambusher. His curve blades can take out unsuspecting enemies, and evolving him adds smoke bombs for even deadlier attacks on isolated targets like Miner.

Greg

Greg throws boomerangs and sets traps to control enemy movement. Once evolved, his boomerangs ricochet through chokepoints, making him surprisingly strong in defensive Heist setups.

Heavy

Heavy moves slowly but hits hard. Evolving him lets you fire railgun blasts from the backline, giving solid support, though you have to watch out for fast dive attackers.

Character

Description

Bandit

Bandit dashes in with quick knife attacks to burst down enemies. When she evolves, her smoke-dash chains let you flank effectively, though she’s still quite squishy, so you need to be careful.

Royale King (Prince)

Royale King charges in with his lance, dealing strong early-game damage. Evolving him adds shield charges for better survivability, but keep in mind he’s weaker now after the nerf.

Bea

Bea attacks from a distance using her bee swarms. Once evolved, her homing hives let you poke enemies more safely, though she struggles against fast-evolving opponents.

Wizard

Wizard dishes out splash damage to groups of enemies. Evolving him gives tornado pulls to reposition foes, making him map-dependent but deadly in minion-heavy brawls.

Witch

Witch summons skeletons to swarm enemies. Her evolution increases the size of her hordes, making her great at controlling crowds, though she’s vulnerable to AoE attacks.

Penny

Penny sets up cannonball turrets to defend objectives. When she evolves, her money-ball rains hit multiple targets, giving strong defensive support for your team.

Shelly

Shelly dominates close range with her shotgun. Evolving her widens the spread, turning her into a terror up close, though she becomes easy prey at long distances.

Nita

Nita calls in her bear to fight for her. Evolving her summons a mega-bear tank, perfect for applying early pressure and controlling the field.

Archer

Archer is your basic ranged unit for consistent poke damage. After evolving, he can fire volleys of arrows, making him useful as filler for arrow-based synergies.

Character

Description

Battle Healer

Battle Healer automatically heals over time, keeping your squad alive. When she evolves, her rage heals give you extra sustain during long fights, letting you stay in the action longer.

Colt

Colt fires a steady pistol barrage to chip away at enemies. Evolving him lets you dual-wield for slightly more damage, giving consistent output though he lacks big burst potential.

Dr. T

Dr. T teleports around to heal allies. After evolving, his drone swarms add extra evasion and utility, making him useful in tricky situations where mobility matters.

Miner

Miner digs tunnels to surprise enemies and steal coins. Evolving him adds drill bombs for extra damage, but his patterns can be predictable if opponents watch closely.

Medic

Medic uses ground-pound attacks to heal teammates. Evolving her adds beam locks that keep groups of allies sustained, making her great for team fights.

Chicken (Big Parka)

Chicken dashes in and explodes to damage enemies. After evolving, egg bombs give you bigger suicide runs, perfect for disrupting enemy lines.

Pam

Pam sets up a healing station to support allies. Her evolved version heals through turrets, offering a solid static defense for your team.

Character

Description

El Primo

El Primo punches and grapples his way into fights. After evolving, his flame fists add some stun potential, but he’s still too slow to be consistently effective.

Goblin

Goblin sneaks around to stab enemies. Evolving him lets him gang up for quick early-game plays, but he becomes less useful as the match goes on.

Dynamike

Dynamike throws barrels for area damage. Once evolved, his mega-bombs are fun and unpredictable, though his overall consistency is low.

Bo

Bo sets mines to control space and trap enemies. Evolving him adds boomerang mines for extra trickery, but smart opponents can clear them easily.
