Guide and tips on how to obtain recommended Rare and Epic heroes in the game, to help you with your progress early to mid game in the 2D Platformer Action RPG mobile game app - Bombastic Brothers - Top Squad.
Also refer below for some tips on how to Disassemble and Craft weapons and equipment to get higher grade gears, Daily Missions, and some quick Battle/PVP tips.
Quick Battle Tips
Attack Patterns
- Dodge is your best defense, learn all basic hero movements and use them to dodge attacks, also learn how to move and dodge while in midair (double jumps).- Move to a higher ground or platform, because some enemies can only attack you if you are on the ground. It is also easier to dodge attacks this way by jumping up or going down the platform (Down+Jump).
- Learn enemy and Boss attack patterns, then counter with best hero or skills that you have.
- Avoid all attack animations and projectiles that would give you damage.
Hero Skills
- Use offensive type skills to quickly eliminate tough enemies or while reloading.- Use defensive type skills when you are in a tight spot or while reloading.
- Use AoE type skills after luring some enemies to eliminate them all in one shot!
- All heroes got their own unique skill sets, learn how to use them in battle (range, duration of skill animation, damage, cool-down and more), and to counter Boss enemies.
Understanding Recommended Power
Mission Recommended Power
- Indicates how much Total Power you should have on your chosen Hero to play a mission comfortably. You can try the mission even if you do not have enough Power, but you will face increased difficulty.- This is where things gets a bit weird because even if your Hero's Power is a little below the Recommended Power, the game would increase the difficulty for that mission! You'll suddenly get terrible damages and receive higher damages compared when you are able to get your Power just a little over the Recommended Power (like equipping 1 Common gear, or replacing 1 Common with Uncommon gear).
- This is by design, still doable depending on the Hero used and Player Skill.
- This also applies to other game modes.
Which Heroes To Get or Use?
- All heroes are usable even outside battles.
- For unused heroes, give them assignments from the Operation Center or keep them busy in the Workshop (Crafting) or Smelter Room (Produce Gold).
Recommended Rare Blue Heroes
- All 4 starting Rare heroes are useful early game until you get better ones.
JEFF - Assault Class
- All around starter Hero for early game, until you get Jack around Lvl 20+.- Decent hero for PVP if you don't have better ones.
GINGER - Sniper Class
- Highly recommended especially for PVP because of her insane crit attacks (most Sniper do though).- Even if she is just a Rare Blue Hero, she can still be very useful, especially when graded to 3 or more Stars. Easier to upgrade too, because her shards are pretty common.
Recommended Epic Purple Heroes
- Check Hero information in-game to learn how to get their Shards.
- For unused heroes, give them assignments from the Operation Center or keep them busy in the Workshop (Crafting) or Smelter Room (Produce Gold).
JACK - Assault Class
- You might want to get this hero asap, to make your PvE life easier.
- Decent hero for PVP if you don't have better ones, almost on par with Jeff.
GRIM - Sniper Class
- Similar to Ginger and as a Sniper class, his attacks got high crits as well.
- Got a nice ability that would make him invulnerable and non-targetable for a short time. To use this ability effectively, you might want to consider equipping a slow firing weapon but with good DPS.
TNT (Tammie Nora Thompson) - Heavy Class
- Her WHIZZ drone's potential will also shine during PVP, just don't put her in the last slot.
- Also great for PvE, very useful for certain modes and bosses because she can survive direct hits and do stun attacks.
Jade Yang - Assassin Class
- While her skill is active, she is invulnerable and non-targetable by enemy fire or skills!
- Probably one of the characters that you can decently play and complete a mission even if she has lower Power than the Recommended Power.
Legendary Heroes
- Check Hero information in-game to learn how to get their Shards.
- Optional heroes that need to be purchased first before his or her shards will appear in Booster Packs.
Game Modes Quick Info
Daily Missions
- Train or upgrade required Class of Heroes if needed to complete these Daily Missions.- TIP: It might be wise to wait and play your Daily Missions first to check which heroes to upgrade next (train or craft better gears for him or her).

- Gold- Gears from Crates that you can dismantle for crafting better gears.
- Dogtags for upgrading heroes.

All Features Completed, What Now?
Farm Gold
- If you don't have anything else to do, farm Gold to do upgrades in your Shipyard.- It's gonna take some time, but if you only need some few Gold, go for it to advance your game faster!
- You'll also need them for crafting once you hit higher Lvl, and Gold can hinder you from progressing.
Where To Farm Gold?
- Start farming some Gold from easy boss stages.- Example Stage Mission: Act 2-6 Normal, or any similar Boss stage that you can complete faster.
Disassemble and Craft
Disassemble
- Go to your inventory and select "Recommended" to automatically choose all low Lvl Common, Uncommon, and Rare gears. Only disassemble higher Grade gears that you no longer need.Work Shop: Crafting Gears
- Focus on creating better gears here by collecting Cores.- Select any unused Hero and craft Uncommon and Rare gears. Dismantle those crafted gears if no longer needed, to get higher Cores:
- Common Cores > Use to craft Uncommon Gears > Dismantle to get Uncommon Cores.
- Repeat until you can get Rare Cores to craft Epic Gears, or Epic Cores to craft Legendargy gears!
Re-roll Crafted Gear
- Watch an ad to re-roll crafted gear, this is useful if you are looking for a long ranged weapon for example, but the crafted gear is a short ranged weapon.- Other Things to Consider:
- Weapons: Single Target or AoE, Reload Time and more.
- Equipment: Bonus stats.
Quick PVP Tips
- Consider Total Power, team build or formation when attacking.
Rating Points and Re-rolls
- Rating Points that you can get depends on the players that are available.- You'll get less Rating Points if you defeat players way lower than you, higher Ratings Points for higher targets, and average Rating Points for those closer ones to your current position.
- The game will auto Re-roll available targets every after 15 minutes.
- Sometimes, it's better to wait for someone to bring your spot down to get a chance to score higher Rating Points (only do if Arena Tickets is below 3 though).
Snipe Positions
- If you have an active League group, save up some Arena Tickets to snipe positions just before the League ends. You can also buy Arena Tickets if you like.Other Info
Red Diamond Event
- The Red Diamond is a rare random drop from enemies while in battle.
Unique Offers
- Go for Jade Yang if you like to get some Boost early game.- If possible, only buy Unique Offers that also offers weapons.
