One such character that many players are on the hunt for is Hog Rider, who is classed as a Speedster character and made appearances in both Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, and has a strong offensive output and some additional speed bonuses for the team. For players wondering how to unlock Hog Rider in Squad Busters, this guide will direct you on adding this popular character to your roster.
Squad Busters: How To Play With Friends
Supercell's new mobile battle game enables players to partake in competitive matches solo or play with their friends.
How to Unlock Hog Rider in Squad Busters
Unlike some of the other characters in Squad Busters, acquiring Hog Rider will, for the most part, require an element of luck to unlock. This is because this rare character can primarily be acquired by opening rare chests. You can increase your chances of getting him by performing well in matches and acquiring chest boosts for getting in the top five in a match. Thankfully, Hog Rider is available from the very first world in the game, so there is a chance you may be able to add him to your roster early.
While this is the main way to unlock Hog Rider, it's not the only one. The in-game shop will also periodically have this character available, either to purchase in a pack with real money, or to buy with in-game coins. While this is a viable option to unlock Hog Rider, availability is dependant on shop rotations, and to unlock the character will generally come at a hefty price of around 100,000 coins.
Hog Rider Stats in Squad Busters
Hog Rider is a rare character in the Squad Busters roster, and is considered to be one of the best in Squad Busters, so he is a little more difficult to get your hands on. In saying that, the benefits of acquiring this character are well worth the wait, as he is an attacking weapon, in addition to the valuable speed boost he gives the whole team.
In his default form, Hog Rider has a damage rating of 150 to go with his total health of 1,500. However, by combining three Hog Riders in a match to form one Fusion character, his damage increases to 307 and health skyrockets to 5,250.
Hog Rider also has a number of abilities that players can earn as they upgrade and evolve the character from the starting Baby form all the way up to his Ultra evolution. These are Hog Rider's abilities and when they are unlocked:
Ability | Unlock Requirements |

Running on grass gives a Turbo boost | Unlock Hog Rider |
Turbo boost increases in length | Reach Classic Evolution |
Turbo recharge time is reduced | Reach Super Evolution |
Turbo speed further increased | Reach Ultra Evolution |
