Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: November 2025 Community Q&A – Full Breakdown of Era System, Relics & Coliseum

What Players Need to Know About Eras, Gear, Relics, Coliseum, and More

The November 2025 Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Community Q&A dropped a ton of new details about the Era system, relic accessibility, returning-player support, and how Conquest and Galactic Legends will work going forward. If you’re a long-time holo-table veteran—or a returning Jedi trying to reconnect your holocron after a few years away—this update shapes the future of SWGOH in a big way.

Here’s your complete, streamlined, SEO-friendly rundown of everything that matters.

Conquest Characters & Galactic Legends Will Still Use Gear

Let’s start with the big one: Conquest units and Galactic Legends will continue to require traditional gear. That means your GL prep isn’t suddenly changing to the Era system.

However, Journey Guide characters tied to a specific Era will use Era progression, as long as their Era is still active. Once they age out, they convert to Legacy characters and move back into the gear/relic structure we’re familiar with.

In short:
• GLs = still gear.
• Conquest units = still gear.
• Era-released Journey Guide characters = Era system.

Where to Farm Era Materials

Great news: Era progress isn’t locked behind a single grind.

You can earn Era Level resources from:
• The Episode Track
• Daily Coliseum rewards
• Marquee events
• The Era Journey Guide event

It’s a broader, more flexible economy—something players have been begging for since the first Era preview.

Kyrotech Relief Is (Kind of) Coming

Kyros have been the eternal bottleneck, and while we’re not getting a direct increase in Kyro drops, CG says the intention is for all free-to-play players to reach Gear 12 on Era units.

Less Kyro-heavy marquee characters → less demand → fewer Kyro-related breakdowns in guild chat at 01:00.

Will this solve the Kyro drought entirely? No. But it’s pressure relief, and that’s a start.

Yes—You Will Be Able to Spend Crystals on Era Currency

Era Level Currency and some Era resources will be available for crystals.
Big F2P move? Not really.
Helpful for dolphins and krakens? Absolutely.

Relic Level 10 Requirements

If you’re curious about the materials needed for Relic Amplifier Level 10, here’s the full list:

• 2M Credits
• 20 Impulse Detectors
• 20 Aeromagnifiers
• 20 Gyrda Keypads
• 20 Droid Brains
• 20 Coaxial Servomotors
• 25 Incomplete Signal Data
• 45 Flawed Signal Data
• 15 Corrupted Signal Data

Classic SWGOH energy: terrifying but also inevitable.

How Faction LSTs Will Work

Faction Light Side Tags rewarded by new quests are usable by any character whose Era began at least a year before the quest releases.

Example: The Droid LST arriving February 2026 will allow Huyang to use it.

Miss an Era? You Won’t Be Punished

If you miss an Era and its marquee characters, don’t panic.
Once units become Legacy, they:

• Use traditional gear and relics
• Have shards available through updated marquee cadences

No Era FOMO here.

Cinematics in Future Journey Guide Events

Players want more Beskar Mando-style cinematics and fewer “PowerPoint deck” style events.

CG’s answer: they’ll evaluate cinematics case-by-case.
Translation: sometimes yes, sometimes no. Not super satisfying, but better than “no.”

Gungan Phalanx Omicron Refund?

Not yet.
CG plans to transition its omicron to another game mode later, and will decide then whether a refund is needed.

Conquest & GL Progression Isn’t Changing

GLs still unlock the same way.
Conquest units still unlock the same way.
Era progression doesn’t impact them—for now.

Legendary/Epic Confrontation Unlocks

If tied to an Era, unlocks will be 4-star.
Standalone Journey Guide events may differ.

Marquee Events Are Staying

Marquee structure stays the same—just with Era resources added.

Mods still cannot be equipped to Era units.
Once they become Legacy, you can mod them normally.

What Happens to Era Battles?

They’re staying.
The first run of each new Era Battle will begin after that Era ends.

Returning Players: Finally Some Help

Players coming back after years often end up stuck in arena shards full of relic monsters.

CG says Coliseum + Era Progression will level the playing field, since all players start at the same baseline for each new Era. This could be the best returning-player buff the game has ever seen.

Relic Delta Damage Monitoring

CG knows relic delta damage scaling can get out of hand. They’re watching data closely.

And to help counter Evasion Mastery issues, R10 adds global Accuracy boosts.

Coliseum Battle Length

Expect Coliseum battles to take 2–3 minutes once you understand the mechanics.
Quick enough for daily play, but long enough to feel meaningful.

Thoughts Going Forward

This Q&A confirms a few things:

• Eras are now the heart of SWGOH’s future.
• Gear isn’t disappearing, but it’s becoming less punishing where it matters.
• Relics and R10 are still big investments, but at least more predictable.
• Returning players aren’t doomed to ancient arena shards.

Overall, it’s a promising update with more flexibility, more progression options, and fewer of the “relic or die” choke points that have haunted the game for years.
