Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Order 66 Raid Is Here and It’s Brutal

If you’ve ever wanted to stand between Lord Vader and a bunch of terrified Jedi trying to escape with their robes still intact, congratulations—your time has come. The brand-new Order 66 Raid in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes puts you in the middle of one of the franchise’s most devastating moments, and yes, it’s as intense as it sounds.


Defy the Dark Side (Or Die Trying)

In this new legendary raid, Lord Vader is done talking. The Jedi Temple is under siege, Clone Troopers are no longer your allies, and the mission is simple: rescue as many Jedi as possible before Vader turns your team into space confetti.

You’ll battle through waves of Dark Side Clone Troopers, face off against Appo, Fox, and others, and—if you’re lucky—get a shot at disrupting Vader long enough to pull off a Jedi jailbreak.


Who Can You Use?

Only specific characters are allowed in the raid, helpfully tagged in-game under the new Order 66 faction. That includes:

  • Jedi Vanguard (like Aayla Secura, Kit Fisto, and Jocasta Nu)
  • Bad Batch units (Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, and Omega)
  • Dark Side Clone Troopers (Appo, Scorch, CX-2)
  • And… Pirates? (Yes. All of them. Eventually.)

Some of the Pirate units are still to be released, but they’ll form two powerful teams by the end of the Pirate Era—one led by a new Conquest unit, and the other by a not-yet-revealed Galactic Legend.


How the Raid Works: Save or Survive

You’ve got two main ways to win this one:

  1. Rescue Jedi – Attack Lord Vader three times when his guard is down to unlock the “Rescue” ability and earn big points.
  2. Survive the Enraged – After Vader reaches his full fury mode, try to stay alive and keep hitting him to earn “Second Chance” points.

Defeating clone commanders like Appo and Fox also unlocks bonuses such as “Subdued” and “Dire Fortitude,” which weaken Vader and power up your squad.


Key Abilities and Effects

  • Rescue – Unlocks after attacking Vader three times; saves a Jedi worth 65,000 points.
  • Subdued – From defeating Appo; lowers enemy stats and punishes debuffs.
  • Dire Fortitude – From defeating Fox; grants +35% Offense, Defense, and Crit Chance.

Take them down strategically to open up Vader and earn the biggest rewards.


Faction Perks That Actually Matter

  • Jedi Vanguard: +50% Health/Protection, reduced %HP damage, and stacking Offense buffs.
  • Bad Batch: Stealthed units do more damage; non-stealthed take less.
  • Dark Side Clone Troopers: Gain Turn Meter and Offense every time they inflict Order 66.
  • Pirates: Dispel debuffs and deal True damage when gaining stacks of Profit (more to come).

If you’re min-maxing, you’ll want to consider synergy over raw power.


Hero Bonuses That Shift the Game

  • Jedi Master Mace Windu: Buffs allies based on their role (tank/healer/support), heals himself, and wrecks Enraged Vader with Protection Up bonuses.
  • Jocasta Nu: Reduces cooldowns whenever Jedi attack out of turn.
  • Kelleran Beq: Speed boost while at full Health.
  • Grand Moff Tarkin: Gains Tenacity based on Potency.
  • Appo & Fox: Support the clone troops with stacking mechanics and revive chains.

These characters can be the difference between a Jedi rescue and a total temple wipeout.


Raid Difficulty and Scoring: 7 Tiers of Pain

  • Starts at Level 0 (no requirement, 1x multiplier)
  • Ends at Level 7 (Relic 9 required, 12x multiplier)

Each level adds mechanics, enemy stats, and changes to Vader’s behavior. Higher tiers introduce Execute stacks, Damage Over Time effects, bonus attacks, and stealth countering. It’s chaos—but the good kind.

Score Examples:

  • Save a Jedi: 65,000 points
  • Defeat Appo or Fox: 22,500 points
  • Defeat Troopers: 5,000 points
  • Hit Enraged Vader: 10,000 per attack

Milestone Rewards Have Been Rebalanced

CG made changes based on player feedback:

  • Narrowed point gaps between milestones
  • Smoothed progression across tiers
  • Added an early milestone to improve accessibility

You’ll still need to grind, but now the jump between boxes won’t feel like climbing Mustafar.


When Does the Raid Go Live?

The Order 66 Raid launches on June 25 at 11am. You can start it right away if you’re not in another raid and have the tickets. You have 5 attempts, so plan your strategy accordingly.


Conclusion: It’s You vs. History

The Order 66 Raid in Galaxy of Heroes is fast-paced, intense, and filled with lore-fueled desperation. Whether you’re trying to outsmart Appo, dodge Enraged Vader’s saber, or chain-rescue Jedi for massive points—this is peak Star Wars mobile gaming.

And don’t forget, it’s all based on one of the most gut-punch moments in franchise history. Just… maybe mute the music if you’re not emotionally ready for Anakin’s villain arc (again).
