■ Unit Balance Adjustments
Attack balance and the skills of some cards have been adjusted.
The details of each card are based on Level 1.
– Light Side
Many Squad Leaders have favored Ezra because of his powerful skill and attacks. However, because the criteria to trigger his ability “Contemplation” is very demanding, it was determined that his battle efficiency is lower than other recently updated leaders. In this update, the conditions for activating “Contemplation” has been improved so that Ezra can participate more actively in combat.
※ Ezra Bridger’s special ability is now proportional to his current HP and will increase up to 27%.
※ When Ezra Bridger dies, the attack speed buff will be removed.
If you recover health, the special ability will be applied in proportion to the current HP.
Ex.) If you have 50% HP and you obtained an HP pack that restores your HP to 80%, the attack speed buff will be reduced from 15% to 6%
The Azumel Spotter has a firing rate that increases as he attacks, making him a powerful unit. However, it was determined that this unit has too much combat efficiency to the point that the overall combat balance was seriously affected. Especially when buffed by Captain Cassian Andor’s special ability, Azumel Spotter could attack a turret outside his range. Thus, it was decided that his attack range would be reduced.
The center of Phoenix Squadron, Phoenix One, and Republic Commando are units that have a wide range of attacks and are developed to effectively subdue enemies. However, both units have no special features compared to other ranged troops which were felt especially in situations where they encountered melee troops. In this update, both units will be improved so that they can deal additional damage to nearby enemies.
– Dark Side
The Imperial Jumptrooper is a unit with the special ability to ignore terrain and avoid attacks from nearby units. However, contrary to the development team’s original intention, its usage seem to be insufficient. In this update, Imperial Jumptroopers will be improved so that they can be summoned anywhere in the map, regardless of the deployment restrictions. Since the Imperial Jumptrooper’s ability is now very powerful, adjustments have been made to reduce its unit count.
■ Victory Rewards Improvement
A lot of Squad Leaders expressed their opinions regarding the Victory Rewards.
We understand the difficulty our Squad Leaders are facing as their rank increases. Since facing tougher opponents will make it more challenging to win, we made improvements to the Victory Rewards.
- Victory Reward Improvement
Changed the number of wins needed to acquire all rewards from 17 wins to 9 wins. Rewards were improved. Participation rewards remain identical.
- Victory Booster Improvement
The Victory Booster, which enhances the Victory Rewards, was also improved.
A significant improvement was made to boost additional rewards from 50% to 100%. With the Victory Booster, more rewards can be earned when you win in Ranked Matches.
※ Squad Leaders who purchased the Victory Booster before the update will have their Booster upgraded during the update. The Booster will be changed to earn 100% when the update is finished.

– Changes in Rank Display
If you are in the top 200, you will now be able to see what rank you are so that you can easily identify what rewards you will earn at the end of the season. If you place 201st or below, changes have been made so that you will see what percentile [%] your rank is.
– Changes in the Rank Reward Details window
Changed the numbers displayed in the Rank Reward Details window into brackets to visualize the rewards available for the top 200.

– Improved End of Season Notification window
When there is a tie amongst the top 3 users, the display has been improved so that the information of the players will be shown in sequence.
Additionally, you will be informed if there is no 2nd or 3rd place due to a tie.
■ Pick a Winner Improvements
The x4 replay feature is very popular because it is the fastest way to see results. However, a new option has been added to instantly see results so that the x4 function is not needed.
– Added “View Results” option
The [View Results] option has been added so that Squad Leaders can see the winners amd earn rewards immediately without watching the replay.
Additionally, if you accidentally tap the replay button, a [View Results] button is now available so that you can proceed to the results screen immediately.
■ Daily Mission Improvements
Daily Mission is the most reliable source of Credits and thus a must-have content in Star Wars™: Force Arena. However, it seems that Squad Leaders deserve something more. In addition to the Credit Packs, a Bonus Reward System has been added for more bonuses!
- The list of Bonus Rewards and the required number of Credit Packs needed to earn a certain reward.
- The number of Credits Packs that you’ve earned for the Bonus Rewards.
* The number increases by 1 every time you earn a Credit Pack - The time remaining before the Bonus Rewards reset.

※ If you fail to acquire all the available rewards before the Bonus Rewards resets, you will not be able to receive them.
■ Daily Credit Supply Improvements
