How do I unlock Kix in Galaxy of Heroes?

Kix will be available through a Marquee Event starting on July 29, 2025.

Does Kix belong to the 501st in this version?

No, this version of Kix is based on his pirate-era appearance from The Force Awakens timeline and does not carry the 501st tag.

What is Kix’s role in a Pirate squad?

Kix is a main healer and support unit, providing revival, healing, buff stealing, and Profit-based mechanics to Pirate teams.

Is Kix required for Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo?

Yes, Kix is required at Relic 6 to unlock Galactic Legend Hondo Ohnaka.

What makes Kix unique in Territory Wars?

His Omicron adds massive utility—revived allies gain bonus turns, cooldown resets, and even Damage Immunity when Endure is triggered.

Kix Kit Reveal – The Pirate Medic Joins Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes

The galaxy’s most persistent Clone Medic has finally made his comeback—fifty years late and with a pirate twist. Kix has officially joined Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and he’s bringing bandages, blasters, and buffs to a whole new era of chaos.

Whether you remember him as the last medic of the 501st or are just now meeting him through a Force Awakens-era pirate lens, this version of Kix is a support powerhouse built for Pirate squads led by Captain Ithano or Maz Kanata. Oh—and he’s required to unlock Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka.

Let’s dig into the kit and see why Kix is more than just a clone with a cool cape.

Kix Overview: Healer, Pirate, and Clone Trooper With No Allegiance to GLs

Alignment and Tags

Light Side
Healer
Clone Trooper, Pirate, Scoundrel
Order 66 Raid-eligible

While his Clone Trooper roots remain intact, this Kix doesn’t rock the 501st tag. This version is lifted straight from The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku, where he joins Ithano’s pirate crew after waking from stasis like a bacta-fueled Rip Van Winkle.

His job? Heal like crazy, mess with enemy healing buffs, and keep Pirates from dying—literally.

Kix’s Core Mechanics: Healing, Profit, and Revivals With a Side of Theft

Kix is a healing machine who thrives on Profit stacks—a key Pirate mechanic introduced recently with Maz Kanata. He also steals healing-based buffs from enemies and redistributes them to allies, turning their wellness into your win condition.

Add to that his revive mechanic, new Endure buff, and anti-Sith tech, and you’ve got a Clone with a serious support addiction—and a toolkit built for surviving the hardest battles in the current raid meta.

Ability Breakdown: Healing, Stealing, and Staying Alive

Basic – Rapidfire Blast

Kix attacks twice and grants Tenacity Up to all Pirate allies. Crits dispel debuffs or heal random Pirates. During his turn, he gains 1 stack of Profit and Retribution for 2 turns. Translation: spam this often to keep buffs rolling.

Special 1 – Explosive Response (Cooldown 3)

Dispel all debuffs on Kix, then hit all enemies with AoE that inflicts Healing Immunity. Steals healing buffs (like Health Up, Protection Over Time) and grants them to your squad. Bonus: punishes Sith by increasing cooldowns.

If no buffs are stolen, he still gains Profit. It’s like he’s paid either way.

Special 2 – Emergency Medpac (Cooldown 5, Zeta)

Revives a random Pirate ally and heals the squad. The more stacks of Profit Kix has, the better this gets. At 3 stacks, heal more. At 10+, grant Damage Immunity to the weakest Pirate. If no revive occurs, cooldown drops by 2.

Unique – Republic Medic Corps (Zeta + Omicron)

This is where the magic happens. The highlights:

Speed boost per injured Pirate
Self-stealth if hurt
Passive cleansing and TM boost when enemies land Shock or Healing Immunity
Healing bonuses scale with Profit
Revives defeated Pirates (once) if Kix has 3+ stacks of Profit

And if he has 5+ stacks when reviving? He grants Endure, a buff that prevents instant death and ensures survival at 1% HP. In Territory Wars, this gets even crazier with cooldown resets, bonus turns, and Damage Immunity when Endure triggers.

Team Synergy: Who to Squad With Kix

Pirate Healer Build

Kix thrives with Captain Ithano or Maz Kanata in the leader slot. Build your squad like this:

Captain Ithano (Leader)
Kix (Healer)
Quiggold (Synergy)
Enfys Nest (Disruptor/DPS)
Hondo or Maz (Support/Flex)

He’s specifically not designed to work in a 501st comp. This version is all pirate, all the time—and his revival mechanics work best when the team isn’t overloaded with Galactic Legends.

How to Unlock Kix and Why You Should Care

Unlock Method: Marquee Event (starting July 29)
Required at Relic 6 for unlocking Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo
Crucial to Order 66 Raid performance
Buffs your Pirate Era Battle outcomes
Will benefit from upcoming Pirate-themed Galactic Challenge modifiers

TL;DR: You’re going to want him. Even if it’s just so your squad stops bleeding out mid-raid.

Strategy Tips for Maximum Kix Value

Open with Special 1 to instantly grab 5 Profit stacks
Use Basic for extra healing when you can’t pop a Special
Save Emergency Medpac for when you really need the revive—or when Profit stacks are stacked high
Profit management = performance. More stacks = better healing, stronger revives, and Endure

Conclusion: Kix Brings Clone-Level Discipline to Pirate-Level Mayhem

Kix is exactly what Pirate squads needed—a reliable, durable, healing engine who can cleanse, revive, and punish Sith enemies without breaking a sweat. His Profit mechanics reward smart timing, and his revival abilities can turn the tide of a losing battle.

He might be the galaxy’s oldest clone on the battlefield, but with his toolkit? He might also be the most valuable.

Suit up, grab those Profit stacks, and keep your Pirate crew alive long enough to plunder some serious Galactic Credits.
