Methods to Unlock Characters
1. Progressing Through the Squad Journey
The Squad Journey is a progression path where players unlock characters as they reach specific milestones. Here are some notable unlocks:
- Colt, El Primo, Greg, and Barbarian: Starting characters available from the beginning.
- Goblin: Unlocked at Squad Journey level 6.
- Chicken: Unlocked at Squad Journey level 4.
- Witch: Unlocked at Squad Journey level 10.

2. Opening Reward Chests
Characters can be randomly obtained from Reward Chests, which are earned by completing matches and achieving certain milestones. The availability of characters from chests depends on their rarity and the specific world you have unlocked. Here’s a breakdown:
- Common Characters: Unlocked from Common Chests.
- Rare Characters: Unlocked from Rare Chests.
- Epic Characters: Unlocked from Epic Chests.
- MEGA Units and Special Characters: Not available in standard chests but can be obtained through other means.
3. Purchasing from the Shop
The in-game shop offers characters that can be purchased either with in-game currency or real money. The shop refreshes daily, providing different characters that you might not have unlocked yet. This method is useful for quickly obtaining characters you’re struggling to unlock through other means.
4. Earning Rewards from Events and Passes
Participating in special events and progressing through the Gem Pass can also unlock new characters. Examples include:
- El Tigre and Dragon Chicken: Available through the Gem Pass.
- Archer Queen: Unlocked by connecting your Supercell ID to the game.
- Special Events: Occasionally, characters are rewarded for participating in or completing special events.
