SWGOH Kit Adjustments Target Ezra, Ahsoka, Merrin, and Gungan Phalanx

Capital Games is making some fairly chunky Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes kit adjustments, and this one is not just a tiny tooltip cleanup hiding in the corner.

In a new official character kit adjustments post, the team outlined incoming changes for Gungan Phalanx, Ezra Bridger (Exile), Ahsoka, and Merrin. The short version: some power is being moved, some counters are being shut down, and several investments are being reset and refunded so players can rethink their choices.

Translation: the Holotables are about to get spicy again.

Gungan Phalanx Moves From Galactic Challenges to Territory Wars

The first major change affects Gungan Phalanx.

His Omicron was originally designed for Galactic Challenges, but since those are not currently running, Capital Games is moving it to Territory Wars instead. The ability is also being rebalanced for that mode.

The updated Omicron loses the old start-of-encounter 100% Evasion, reduces the Shield Generator’s Plasma Shielding bonus from 10 stacks to 3, cuts the Gungan Special ability Offense bonus from 50% to 20%, and lowers Turn Meter removal from 20% to 10% when Gungan allies attack out of turn.

Players who invested in the Omicron will have that investment reset and refunded to their inboxes.

Ezra (Exile) Gets Pulled Back Toward Spectre Squads

The biggest adjustment is clearly Ezra Bridger (Exile).

Capital Games says Ezra was intended as a lifter for Galactic Legend Ahsoka, but because his kit was too open-ended, he ended up working too well with Galactic Legend Rey instead. That created frustrating defensive teams, especially when generic Datacrons amplified the problem.

The fix is to gate more of Ezra’s strongest tools behind a full Spectre squad.

That means parts of his kit — including Foresight, Stagger, Backup Plan, Purrgil Migration stacking, Instant Defeat Immunity, cooldown protection, and some of his scarier Grand Arena bonuses — now lean much more heavily on having all allies as Spectres.

It is a clear design correction: Ezra is supposed to make Ahsoka and Spectres better, not accidentally turn Rey into a new Holotable nightmare with bonus emotional damage.

Because this is a significant change, Relic and Omicron investment into Ezra will be reset and refunded when the update goes live.

Ahsoka Gets Protection Against Cheap Counters

Capital Games is also fixing what it calls edge-case weaknesses for Ahsoka, mainly around turn meter trains and preventing her from countering.

Two changes stand out:

Ahsoka will now deal True damage to all enemies when counterattacking, and that damage cannot be countered.

She is also becoming immune to Blind.

That second one is small on paper but big in practice. If a Galactic Legend can be neutralized too cheaply by preventing counters or exploiting Blind, the whole investment starts to feel shaky. This update is clearly meant to make Ahsoka harder to cheese without completely rewriting her identity.

Merrin’s Omicron No Longer Deletes Galactic Legends

The other big counter adjustment hits Merrin.

Capital Games specifically calls out Merrin’s ability to take out Jabba as exceeding its comfort level for Galactic Legend counters. The fix is simple: Merrin’s Omicron will now only work in Grand Arenas when there are no Galactic Legends.

That is a major gate.

Merrin will still have value, but the Omicron is being pushed away from punching up into GL territory. Like the others, her Omicron investment will be reset and refunded so players can decide again with the new rules in mind.

The Real Message: Theorycrafting Is Fine, But GLs Still Matter

The interesting part of this update is the philosophy behind it.

Capital Games says it admires deep theorycrafting and wants to preserve it, but also wants to honor investment in the game’s most powerful units. That is the balancing act here. SWGOH is at its best when players discover weird counters and creative squad solutions. It is at its worst when expensive marquee or Galactic Legend investments feel undermined by unintended interactions.

So this update is not really anti-theorycrafting.

It is anti-“this probably should not be deleting a GL this easily.”

That distinction matters.

Refunds Make This Easier to Swallow

The smartest part of the update is the refund approach. Gungan Phalanx, Ezra, and Merrin investments are being reset where relevant, which gives players a chance to make new decisions based on the revised kits.

That will not stop everyone from arguing. This is Galaxy of Heroes, where one stat line can turn into a 400-comment theology debate.

But refunds do make these changes cleaner.

Between this, the recent Cassian compensation update, and the ongoing May the 4th celebration rewards, it has been a busy stretch for SWGOH players.

The takeaway for now: if you invested in Ezra, Merrin, or Gungan Phalanx, watch your inbox when the update goes live — and maybe do not rebuild your entire GAC strategy until the dust settles.
