The holotables are buzzing again as Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes rolls out its latest update for September 3, 2025. This patch mixes new character availability, long-requested adjustments, and a few bug fixes (with a dash of developer humor). Let’s break down everything you need to know.
Captain Silvo Joins the Fight
The spotlight of this update is the arrival of Captain Silvo, a ruthless Pirate Leader introduced during the Skeleton Crew era. Silvo brings a unique mix of Turn Meter manipulation, healing redistribution, and synergy with Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka. His debut marks yet another step forward in the expanding Era of Piracy faction, making him a key unit for players investing in the pirate lineup.
If you haven’t seen his kit yet, prepare for plenty of Profit-stacking chaos and Turn Meter theft—Silvo looks set to be a disruptive powerhouse in Territory Wars and Grand Arenas.
Farming and Accessibility Updates
Today’s patch also improves access to some fan-favorite characters:
- Captain Ithano shards are now farmable from Fleet Battles 1-A (Hard). His pirate synergy just got easier to build.
- Kix has been added to Chromium Packs and Shipments, making him more widely accessible for clone trooper teams.
- Great Mothers has joined the list of Accelerated Characters, meaning double drop events and faster shard accumulation are now possible.
For veteran players, these changes make farming more efficient while opening new team-building opportunities.
Bugs and Adjustments
Every patch comes with fixes, and today’s list is both practical and entertaining.
- CT-5555 “Fives” will no longer incorrectly gain Taunt when General Skywalker taunts.
- Fixed an issue where placeholder strings occasionally displayed in-game.
- Patience Unique now properly interacts with Consume for dispel effects.
- Brutus’ Fear was temporarily missing (apparently it got cold feet). According to dev notes, “it mustard up the courage and came back.” In short: Fear now works as intended. 🌶
- Fifth Brother’s ability upgrade description no longer repeats itself.
- Temple Guard’s Omicron Captive ability no longer instantly defeats Fugitive Omega and her allies under certain conditions.
- Fixes applied to Gar Saxon, Greedo, and ISC.
Known Issue: Disguised Clone Trooper
The Clever Ruse ability for Disguised Clone Trooper is currently not granting the intended 20% Turn Meter. Developers have identified the issue as unit-level, and the ability will be refunded in a later release.
Final Thoughts
This update is a welcome blend of fresh content and bug polish. The arrival of Captain Silvo gives pirate fans another reason to celebrate, while farming adjustments help balance progression for newer players. And with some long-standing issues finally addressed, the holotables feel just a little smoother today.
