Elita-1 in Squad Busters: Stats and abilities

Elita-1 will be a ranged character in Squad Busters. This new character's Baby Giant form is almost as big as Fusion. She is also a very fast character after evolving. While most of the Squad Busters' characters and world bosses usually come from different Supercell titles. Elia-1 is arriving from a completely different universe.

Here are some important stats of Elita-1 in Squad Busters:

• Health: 4000
• Damage: 153
• Range: 4500
• Hit time: 0.95s
• Hit Speed: 1.05hits/second
• DPS: 161 HP/second
• Fusion Health: 10000
• Fusion Damage: 306
• Fusion DPS: 322 HP/second

Elita-1 currently has two special abilities, one each for two of her evolved forms, i.e., Classic and Super. Most of the characters in Squad Busters have three evolutions: Classic, Super, and Ultra. However, the official update video stated that new characters coming from universes other than those of the Supercell games will only have two evolutions, so this applies to both Optimus Prime and Elita-1 in Squad Busters.

Here are the abilities for all the evolutions of Elita-1 in Squad Busters:

• Baby: Elita-1 does not have any special abilities in the Baby form.
• Classic: She attacks on a time-bending speed when using Turbo.
• Super: In her Super form, Turbo last much longer when attacking.

Readers should note that when in Classic form, Elita-1 will shoot faster, and will shoot three projectiles instead of one when attacking with Turbo. This provides her with +170% DPS, which can be incredibly helpful for players.

On the other hand, while the Turbo Boosts last for 1.8 seconds, having Super Elita-1 on your team will increase the Turbo duration by 80% for 3.2 seconds.

Apart from the basic skin that arrives with every character, the developer has yet to announce other skins for this new character in the game. However, there are multiple Emotes available in the game for Elita-1.

Strategies for Elita-1 in Squad Busters

The Transformers event in Squad Busters began on September 16, 2024, and it will run until September 30, 2024. In the first week, players will be able to get Optimus Prime, and they will only be able to get Elita-1 in Squad Busters during the second week.

This means that the character is yet to go live in the game. Therefore, providing any particular strategy for the unit will be tough. However, this article tries to provide an overview of a possible strategy for this unit.

In offensive transitions, you can likely use Elita-1 as the main damage dealer. Her attack speed, especially with boosts, will make her one of the scariest units in the game. Her Fusion form will also likely drastically increase her health. Thus, trying to get an early-game Fusion of this character might help you get a lead.

Apart from that, you can use the evolutions of Elita-1 in Squad Busters for your benefit. This is because, with Turbo boosts, the unit could become unstoppable in both of her evolved forms.

Elita-1 in Squad Busters will likely be viable as a bulky hero who can protect the damage dealing, low HP units in defensive stages.
