Toon Squad from Tango combines base building with match-3 combat, using an engaging art style and entertaining dialogue (check out our full review here). Assemble and enhance your Toon team, join a squad to give or receive Toons and solve match-3 puzzles to battle your enemies. While the gameplay is fairly intuitive for a casual experience, there are some places where you’ll need to be strategic to advance. For those looking to get the most out of their team of Toons, be sure to read the following Toon Squad tips, tricks and strategies.
Single-player that is. Spend as long as you can playing single-player mode so you can amass as many Toons as possible. Your chances of a rare drop are relatively low, but you’ll be able to use any duplicates or weaklings to enhance your strongest Toons in the Laboratory. Once you have a strong team, head into Multiplayer to deliver some righteous smiting.
For some mobile games, social features are an afterthought but Toon Squad offers some seriously social benefits. Even if you aren’t one to normally join a squad, guild, alliance or other social group in a game, you’ll be rewarded here. First, you’ll be able to request or donate a Toon, upping your available Toons for help in battle. You’ll also be able send a “help” request to speed up building, healing or enhancing times. And finally, you can entreat your Squad mates to attack someone who has attacked you. You can also enjoy Global, Squad and Private chat conversations for additional help and entertainment.
When you’re assembling your team, be sure to check out the “Details” of a Toon listed under “Attack.” You’ll get a list of damage done by orbs destroyed in battle, which is unique to each Toon. When you start battling, remember the element that will do the most damage and focus on powerful combos to include those.
If you are up against a boss who has a special offensive skill, make sure you battle with a Toon from a different element. For example, if you are battling Sgt. Leaf, she’ll turn Earth orbs on the board to bombs that count down to detonate with each move. But those bombs only appear if you make combos using Earth elements. If you use Emerald Gal to oppose, her strength in Earth elements will only speed up the detonation to work against you. Make sure your team is diverse so as you advance through enemies, you can change out your members as necessary to battle with opposing elements.
If you think you’re going to be playing Toon Squad for a while, consider purchasing the Builder Pack for $4.99. This introductory starter pack gives you a second builder, 500 gems for speedups and refills, 500 tokens for Grabs, 3 Basic Grabs, hours of speedups and thousands in cash and oil. However, this pack is only available for a limited-time and once it’s gone, $4.99 will only get you 50 gems and a whole lot of regret.
