Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Update (Feb 2025): New Kits, Bug Fixes & More!

The galaxy never sleeps, and neither does Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. Today’s update (February 5, 2025) is packed with fresh content, bug fixes, and new challenges to keep players on their toes. Whether you’re strategizing in Territory Wars or farming those elusive shards, there’s something in this update for everyone.

Here’s everything you need to know—and maybe chuckle at—from this latest patch.

Key News Highlights

February Event Calendar

February is shaping up to be a busy month. Expect a slew of events, from Territory Battles to Galactic Challenges. Stay alert and keep your squads ready because it’s going to be a non-stop grind.

Jocasta Nu Kit

Jocasta Nu, Jedi Temple librarian extraordinaire, isn’t just about dusty archives anymore. As revealed in the recent kit announcement, she’s a powerhouse with a lightsaber-fueled rifle. Expect her to shake things up in both Conquest and Grand Arena modes.

Hunter (Mercenary) Kit & Datacron

Hunter, the ever-reliable mercenary, now comes with his own bespoke Datacron. This addition gives him a significant boost in high-stakes battles. However, there’s a known bug holding back his Captive ability until Gear 6, so temper your excitement just a tad.

General Syndulla Shards Are Now Farmable

Great news for anyone building a Phoenix squad! General Syndulla’s shards have been added to Cantina node 3-G, replacing Biggs Darklighter. Don’t worry, Biggs fans—his shards are still available in the Galactic War Shipments.

Bug Fixes: The Heroes We Didn’t Know We Needed

Every update comes with a list of bugs that have been squashed like a rancor’s snack. Here’s a look at some of the key fixes in this patch:

Grand Inquisitor Defeating Non-Jedi Enemies Too Quickly
- In Territory Wars, the Grand Inquisitor had a bad habit of instantaneously defeating non-Jedi enemies. That’s been balanced out, so he’ll have to earn his victories the hard way now.
TIE Dagger Self-Inflicted Damage Bug
- Piloting the TIE Dagger shouldn’t feel like kamikaze mode anymore. The issue where the TIE Dagger would damage itself under certain conditions has been resolved.
Omicron Material Description Update
- Misleading descriptions of Omicron materials have been clarified to accurately explain how you can acquire them. No more guessing games—just straightforward info.
Ahsoka’s Icons Fixed
- GL Ahsoka’s icons are now bright and shiny (and white) in the final tier of her event.
Purge Decoy Bug
- Purge mechanics have been updated so they won’t apply incorrectly to decoys.
Fennec Shand Episode Quest Completion Issue
- Completing Fennec’s payout quest is no longer locked behind specific ability tiers. All upgrade levels now count towards quest completion.
Omega Health Loss Issue
- Omega (the Fugitive version) was losing health and protection without reason. This has now been corrected, so she can stop fainting mid-fight.
Great Mothers Turn Gain Fix
- Great Mothers was getting free bonus turns even when she wasn’t the Leader. That’s been nipped in the bud.
Jedi Knight Revan’s Leader Ability Issue
- Revan’s leadership should now correctly prevent Turn Meter gain for enemies.
Omega’s Leader Name Fixed
- Omega’s Leader ability name was a bit off, but it’s been updated to reflect its intended functionality.

Known Issues (Because Nothing’s Perfect in the Galaxy)

Even the best updates can’t fix everything at once. Here are some of the known issues players should be aware of:

Hunter’s Captive Ability Locked Until Gear 6
- If you’re building Hunter’s kit, you’ll need to wait until Gear 6 before the Captive ability unlocks.
Captive Stack Removal Bug
- In certain scenarios, Captive isn’t being properly dispelled when all stacks are removed. Bungie’s (I mean EA’s) QA team is working on it.
New Datacron Trigger Issue
- The new Datacron is acting up by not consistently triggering Mercenary allies with Scoundrel of Fortune (SoF). Expect this bug to get squashed in a future patch.

How These Updates Impact Your Strategy

If you’re serious about climbing the ranks in Grand Arena or dominating Territory Wars, these updates are worth paying attention to. For example, fixes to characters like the Grand Inquisitor and Omega will change the viability of certain defensive and offensive strategies. Meanwhile, farming General Syndulla’s shards from Cantina nodes makes building Phoenix squads more efficient.

Hunters and mercenary-focused squads also gain new utility with the Datacron and ability updates. However, keep an eye on the Captive ability bug—it could impact key battles.
