The pirate fleets of the Outer Rim just got a dangerous new ally. Captain Silvo arrives in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes this September, bringing ruthless synergy, Force sensitivity, and a heavy dose of tactical thievery to the growing Pirate faction. Players who want to bolster their dark side squads—and unlock the full potential of Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka—will want to pay close attention to this reveal.
Alignment and Categories
- Alignment: Dark Side
- Categories: Support, Leader, Pirate, Scoundrel, Unaligned Force User, Order 66 Raid
Silvo isn’t your average scoundrel. He mixes Force sensitivity with raw pirate cunning, creating one of the most versatile support kits the faction has seen.
Key Attributes
- Turn Meter Manipulation: Silvo drains Turn Meter from enemies and funnels it directly into his Pirate allies, flipping the flow of battle.
- Sustained Survivability: Pirate allies gain Health and Protection recovery whenever Profit stacks come into play.
- Pirate Synergy: Works best under Pirate Leaders—particularly Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka—where his kit truly shines.
Inspirations from Skeleton Crew
Captain Silvo draws inspiration from the many guises of Jod Na Nawood in Skeleton Crew. By leaning into Silvo’s role as the ruthless leader of a pirate crew, the developers delivered a character identity that perfectly fits the darker side of the New Republic era.
Strategy Tips
- Zero Patience (Basic): Use this against Staggered enemies to steal Turn Meter and swing momentum.
- The Only Thing That Matters (Special): This ability removes enemy Turn Meter, redistributes it to Pirates, and even shifts Max Health—crippling enemies while empowering allies.
- Profit Management: With his unique and leader abilities, Silvo’s gameplay revolves around maintaining and exploiting Profit stacks. Timing Profit swaps can make or break tough battles.
Synergy is the name of the game: pair Silvo with Hondo Ohnaka for maximum effectiveness. With the right setup, your Pirate crew can go from ragtag raiders to unstoppable marauders.
