Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Update 3/18 Adds New Farmable Shards and Fixes Key Bugs

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes just got a small but useful March 18 update, and the biggest takeaway for many players will be a shard shuffle involving Yoda & Chewie and Baze Malbus. EA’s official update says Yoda & Chewie shards are now farmable from Light Side Battles (Hard) 9-C, replacing Baze Malbus, while Baze Malbus moves to Light Side Battles (Hard) 5-F.

Two New Events Are Also On the Way

The update also teases an Additive Drops Event and a Mystery Event, though EA’s post does not include detailed timing or rewards in the brief summary.

Bug Fixes Include Stormtrooper Luke and Vane

On the fixes side, Capital Games says it has corrected the Stormtrooper Luke Omicron cost and fixed an issue where Vane was not properly gaining offense based on max health. Those are the kind of adjustments that will matter a lot more to active roster builders than flashy event names.

Smuggler’s Run III Gets Another Adjustment

The final listed change is an adjustment to Smuggler’s Run III so the event is not SHARED, which follows earlier player attention around how that event was being handled. EA did not add much more detail in the short update post itself, but the change is now officially listed as part of the March 18 patch notes.

A Small Update, but a Handy One

This is not a massive Galaxy of Heroes patch, but it is the kind of maintenance update that can still matter. New farm locations, event teases, and a few targeted bug fixes are often the bits players actually feel day to day, especially when shard farming is involved.
