Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Event Calendar - April

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Assault Battle Update

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen Galaxy of Heroes

If you’ve been strategizing your squads and checking your holotables daily in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, it’s time to prepare for a galactic shuffle. There’s big news about Assault Battles—those intense events that have you clawing your way through waves of increasingly difficult enemies. Starting in December, things are about to get a whole lot more exciting (and busy) with an updated schedule, holiday surprises, and hints at even more future chaos. Let’s dive in.

The New Cadence: Order Amidst the Chaos

The Assault Battle cadence is getting a shakeup. All nine Assault Battles will now return on a regular schedule, and it’s surprisingly manageable—if you can remember what day it is.

Here’s the deal:

  • Wednesdays and Saturdays: Each of the nine Assault Battles will take turns appearing on the first four of these days in the month.
  • First Monday of the Month: As a bonus, there will also be an Assault Battle on the first Monday.

So, you’ll essentially have a steady rotation of challenges to keep your squads battle-ready. It’s like a Jedi’s meditation routine, but with fewer calming vibes and more Ewoks launching rocks at AT-STs.

What Happens When We Get More Battles?

If you’re thinking, “Wait, what happens when we get more than nine Assault Battles?”—you’re not alone. According to the developers, they’re already brainstorming ways to handle the scheduling puzzle for future events. It’s kind of like playing Dejarik against a Wookiee—things could get messy, but you’ll figure it out eventually.

Keep an eye on official announcements because more details are promised once they hammer out the logistics. Translation: They’re probably waiting for Yoda’s council on this one.

Holiday Lineup: A Festive Feast of Battles

December is not just bringing cold weather (or warm, depending on your planet), but also a jam-packed schedule of extra Assault Battles. Here’s a sneak peek at the lineup, complete with specific dates so you can plan your holiday grinding:

  • Imperial Remnant (Peridea Patrol): Dec 7, Dec 26
  • Forest Moon: Dec 14, Dec 28
  • Military Might: Dec 21, Dec 30
  • Ground War: Dec 28, Jan 1
  • Places of Power: Dec 4, Dec 25
  • Fanatical Devotion: Dec 11, Dec 27
  • Secrets and Shadows: Dec 18, Dec 29
  • Rebel Round-Up: Dec 2, Dec 24
  • Duel of the Fates: Dec 25, Dec 31

Did you notice the holiday cheer woven in? December 25 is bringing us not one but two Assault Battles: Places of Power and Duel of the Fates. Nothing says festive like tackling Sith Lords between bites of holiday snacks.

Bonus News: Extra Holiday Events

In addition to the festive lineup, the developers teased even more events running extra times during the holidays. No details yet, but this is your cue to keep those notifications turned on. Who knows, you might be battling TIE Fighters while still unwrapping presents. (Priorities, right?)

Why This Matters for You (Yes, You)

This update is a win for those who thrive on planning their Galactic Conquests. The new regularity makes it easier to prep squads for upcoming events. On the flip side, it also means you’ll need to juggle your time wisely—especially during the holidays when battles overlap with real-life commitments (like family, or maybe just more Star Wars).

Here are a few tips to stay ahead:

  1. Set Reminders: Use a calendar app to track the battle dates. Missing out on rewards because you forgot is worse than stepping on a LEGO.
  2. Pre-Battle Prep: Review your character mods and gear to ensure you’re ready for the harder tiers.
  3. Save Resources: With multiple events running back-to-back, conserve your energy and gear for key battles.
  4. Be Flexible: Holiday schedules might get messy, so focus on the battles that give you the best rewards for your roster.

Conclusion: The Galaxy Is Yours

The new Assault Battle schedule, paired with the holiday blitz, is a fresh reminder of why Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes keeps us hooked. Whether you’re navigating treacherous Sith battles or dealing with Ewoks that hit way too hard, the Holotables are where legends are made.

With this structured yet busy calendar, there’s plenty to keep even the most dedicated players engaged. So, gear up, sharpen those lightsabers, and may the Force guide you through this gauntlet of events.

Just remember: in the end, it’s all about fun, strategy, and maybe just a little chaos. Happy battling!
