Siege Squad: How to Survive Crushers and Defeat Rival Squads

To win four-way battles in Siege Squad, keep your siege engine moving through open central spaces, maintain a balanced team of frontline tanks and ranged damage dealers, and eliminate high-threat ranged rivals before the encroaching crushers force you into the map borders.

Squad Composition and Unit Roles

Your survival relies on balancing frontline durability with ranged damage. Mix unit archetypes to protect your mobile engine and cover different combat ranges.

Adjust your squad setup based on enemy compositions. If rival squads field heavy melee units, add units with knockback or crowd-control effects to protect your perimeter. If your team lacks damage from a distance, field extra wizards or mechanics to increase your overall fire rate.

Siege Engine Maneuverability and Crusher Survival

The encroaching crushers steadily shrink the playable area throughout every match. Staying stationary leaves your engine vulnerable to enemy projectiles and environmental destruction.

• Maintain open positioning: Keep your siege engine in central areas with room to turn. Avoid backing into walls or corners where rival squads can trap you.
• Pivot to face threats: Rotate your engine so your defensive units absorb incoming attacks while your high-damage units remain aligned with your primary target.
• Avoid edge skirmishes: Fighting along the border risks instant elimination if an opponent uses a knockback ability against you.
• Use borders defensively: Position your squad to force incoming rivals toward the edges, letting the encroaching crushers eliminate them or force them into your firing line.

If your engine takes heavy damage during a fight, immediately shift to a defensive stance. Retreat slightly toward safe open ground and force rivals to push into your ranged units' attack zone.

Tactical Target Priorities

Four squads compete simultaneously, making target focus essential for survival. Follow this sequence during every round:

1. Scout early movement: Observe enemy deployment during the opening moments of the match to identify high-damage targets and weak frontlines.
2. Focus high-damage targets: Direct your attacks at enemy wizards and mechanics first to reduce incoming damage before dealing with high-health knights.
3. Maintain engine proximity: Keep your squad units grouped tightly around your siege engine so they benefit from proximity bonuses and localized defensive buffs.
4. Consolidate for the final contraction: As the map reaches its smallest size, stop chasing isolated units and focus exclusively on surviving and securing the final kill against the last remaining squad.
