# Building Squads

<figure><img src="/files/6ry29OHPKaH9IiY2e8Dm" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Strategic Considerations

• Build a Squad with high CP for the best odds to win\
• Squads can not enter battle unless all Critters are available (not gathering)\
• Critters must have a HP value to add to a Squad and successfully attack\
• Squads' return times are standard\
• Critters CT values affect how quickly they can attack another Monster

**Unlock additional Squads by upgrading your Town.** *Level 1-2 = 1 Squad | Level 3-4 = 2 Squads | Level 5-7 = 3 Squads | Level 8-10 = 4 Squads | Level 11-19 = 5 Squads | Level 20 = 6 Squads*
