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.

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.

The pirate crew in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes just got a serious boost. Vane, the sharp-tongued scoundrel from The Mandalorian and Skeleton Crew, is now entering the holotables as the latest Dark Side Tank in the Era of Piracy.

A Pirate Tank That Won’t Go Down Without a Fight Vane joins the game as a Dark Side, Tank, Pirate, Scoundrel unit, and he’s all about resilience and utility.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – 8-6-2025 Update Brings Brutus, Pirate Era Battle, and a Whole Lot of Fixes
Brace yourselves, Holotable heroes—this one’s spicy. The Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update for August 6, 2025 is live, and it’s packed tighter than a Jabba vault. We’ve got new content, a marquee character, a sneakily titled “Secret!!!!”, some long-requested QoL fixes, and the return of Rose (sort of). Let’s break it all down like a smuggler sorting spice by value. Brutus Is Here—and He’s Not Just a Pretty Snout The biggest headline is, of course, BRUTUS! The Shistavanen pirate attacker introduced in the latest marquee event is now wreaking havoc with Profit stacking, scattershot synergy, and an aggressive thirst for turn meter control. If you missed the full kit reveal (and you’re serious about Territory Wars), go read that first—Brutus is a must-have for Hondo-centric pirate comps and an all-around menace in the Order 66 Raid meta. Pirate Era Battle & A Mysterious “Secret!!!!” Let’s talk about two more…
Brutus Kit Reveal – Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Unleashes a Ferocious New Pirate
There’s a new Dark Side scoundrel swaggering onto the Holotables, and his name is Brutus. No, not the Roman backstabber—this one’s a Shistavanen pirate who’s less about betrayal in togas and more about stealing buffs, slicing defenses, and raining scattershot death in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. With a snarling attitude and a toolkit tailor-made for PvP mayhem, Brutus arrives as part of the Order 66 Raid update—but let’s be honest, you’re really here for that juicy synergy with Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka. Let’s dig into what makes Brutus more than just another angry dog-faced gunner. Who (or What) Is Brutus? Brutus is a Dark Side, Scoundrel, Pirate, and Attacker with a mutiny-themed kit that rewards chaos, coordination, and a touch of backstabbing flair. Inspired by the Skeleton Crew series’ deep-cut return of the Shistavanen species (aka the OG “wolfman” from A New Hope), Brutus is designed to…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Launches Conquest Community Milestone Event – Let the Grind Begin (for Maz and Glory)
There’s nothing quite like shared suffering to bring a galaxy together—and this time, it’s personal. The Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Conquest Community Milestone Event has returned, riding the hyperspace lanes of ambition, energy refreshes, and that relentless pursuit of Maz Kanata. That’s right: as players everywhere march through Conquest to unlock the ever-elusive and wise Maz (yes, she’s finally more than a background character with cryptic Jedi commentary), your collective energy expenditure now fuels a communal reward system. You tap. You grind. You win. And so does everyone else. Let’s break it down. What Is the Conquest Community Milestone Event? In simple terms: the more Conquest energy you spend, the more milestones the community unlocks. Think of it as a galaxy-wide loyalty program—but instead of racking up points for lattes, you’re earning loot for battling Sith Lords, droid armies, and every flavor of Galactic nuisance. From now until the…
SWGOH Update 7-23-2025: Accelerated Characters, Bug Fixes, and Some Very Naughty Datacrons
If you thought the only thing spicy about Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes this summer was the Lightspeed Tokens update—think again. The July 23, 2025 update quietly dropped a pile of bug fixes, character adjustments, and one datacron exploit that might’ve made Captain Han Solo immortal (for, like, two minutes). Oh, and Quiggold flirted with the Light Side… then immediately bounced. Typical pirate energy. Let’s break down everything you need to know from the latest patch—including new node placements, character accelerations, and developer notes that read like they were written during a game of sabacc. What’s New: Hard Node Shuffle and Accelerated Characters Scorch Joins Dark Side Hard 9-D (with TIE Dagger) If you’ve been farming Scorch, it’s time to head to Dark Side Hard Node 9-D, where he now resides alongside the TIE Dagger. That’s double trouble in a single sim—use your daily attempts wisely. Death Trooper (Peridea) Becomes…
SWGOH Game Changes + New Item: Lightspeed Tokens and Relic Upgrades Are Shaking the Meta
Big news just dropped on the Holotable, and it’s not just another marquee event. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has dropped a massive update that rewires the way we power up characters. From star requirement reworks to the debut of Lightspeed Tokens (LSTs), these changes are aimed at making your roster progression faster, more flexible, and just a bit more… profitable. Let’s break down everything—from early Relics to era-locked tokens—and what it all means for roster grinders, raid gamblers, and PvP ladder climbers alike. Relics at 4 Stars? Welcome to the New Meta Lower Star Requirements, Higher Power Potential The galaxy just got a little more generous. Characters can now reach Relic levels as early as 4 stars—yes, seriously. Here’s the new breakdown: This change is retroactive. Got a 4-star character gathering dust? They might be relic-ready today. Just hit level 85 and slap on some Gear XII. It’s a…
Kix Kit Reveal: The Lost Clone Becomes a Pirate Healer in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes
The galaxy’s most persistent Clone Medic has finally made his comeback—fifty years late and with a pirate twist. Kix has officially joined Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and he’s bringing bandages, blasters, and buffs to a whole new era of chaos. Whether you remember him as the last medic of the 501st or are just now meeting him through a Force Awakens-era pirate lens, this version of Kix is a support powerhouse built for Pirate squads led by Captain Ithano or Maz Kanata. Oh—and he’s required to unlock Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka. Let’s dig into the kit and see why Kix is more than just a clone with a cool cape. Kix Overview: Healer, Pirate, and Clone Trooper With No Allegiance to GLs Alignment and Tags While his Clone Trooper roots remain intact, this Kix doesn’t rock the 501st tag. This version is lifted straight from The Crimson…
Maz Kanata Kit Reveal: The Pirate Queen Enters Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes
Move over Jedi and Sith—there’s a new legendary grandma in town, and she’s here to rewrite the rules. Maz Kanata has officially joined Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes as part of the ongoing Conquest content, and her kit is as spicy as a Corellian chili popper. Whether you’re a min-maxing raider, a lore-hunting scoundrel sympathizer, or someone who enjoys the thrill of gambling with the new “steal” mechanics, Maz’s arrival is worth more than just a passing glance. Let’s break down why this tiny titan with 1,000 years of wisdom is about to become a key piece of your Galactic Arena roster. Maz Kanata Overview: Pirate Queen, Unaligned Force User, and Profit Thief Alignment and Tags Maz may not carry a lightsaber, but she brings something equally dangerous: battlefield control through Profit manipulation and anti-Sith synergy. As a support unit with leadership capabilities, she’s uniquely built for Pirate-focused squads—though her…
Yo-Ho-Hondo! The Era of Piracy Arrives in Galaxy of Heroes with a Booty-Laden Battle and Smuggler’s Run 3
Hondo Ohnaka Returns, and He’s Brought Booty If your holo-crystals have been burning a hole in your smugglin’ satchel, it’s time to cash in—Galaxy of Heroes is kicking off its most swashbuckling event series yet: the Era of Piracy. And leading the charge? None other than Galactic Legend Hondo Ohnaka, the smooth-talking, score-chasing pirate who always seems to profit, even when the galaxy’s on fire. This August, prepare for a high-seas (or high-stars?) adventure in the newest Era Battle: Raiders of the Outer Rim. This ain’t just another relic grind. This is full-on pirate roleplay with blasters instead of cutlasses and loot that even Jabba would drool over. The Era Battle: Raiders of the Outer Rim The main course of this event is the Era Battle, where players get to flex their pirate-themed rosters. Expect new pirate-aligned characters, themed combat tiers, and yes—a bonus tier that requires Hondo Ohnaka himself….
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Update – July 9, 2025
New characters, new fixes, and one clone trooper ready for Cantina duty. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has dropped its July 9, 2025 update, and while it’s not the kind of massive patch that introduces game-changing raids or Galactic Legends, it’s packed with the kind of low-key changes that actually make your life better. We’re talking shard reworks, pack updates, and a much-needed batch of bug fixes that target some of the more frustrating gameplay issues in recent weeks. Let’s break it down, faction by faction, feature by feature. Jedi Temple Guard Now in Chromium Packs & Shipments Everyone’s favorite silent guardian just took a step out of the shadows. Jedi Temple Guard is now available in Chromium Packs and Shipments, meaning you can finally accelerate your path to maxing him out if you missed his initial release.

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Kit Reveal for Quiggold — The Pirate Tank We Didn’t Know We Needed
Every now and then, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes drops a character kit that doesn’t just fill a niche—it opens a treasure chest. The latest addition? Quiggold, the gruff, heavy-blaster-wielding First Mate of Captain Ithano from The Force Awakens, now fully outfitted and ready to anchor the Pirate faction in both raids and Territory Battles. Let’s break down this new Dark Side tank, his synergy with Ithano, his stack-heavy mechanics, and why he’s absolutely vital if you’re chasing Galactic Legend Hondo Ohnaka. Quiggold’s Alignment and Role: He’s not just a meat shield—Quiggold is a disruptive utility tank with some of the most interesting buff-manipulation we’ve seen in the game. Why Quiggold Matters in the Meta The Pirate faction is still under construction, but Quiggold gives it a strong defensive backbone. His kit is loaded with buff stealing, debuff resistance, and mechanics that scale based on his Profit stacks—a new mechanic…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Order 66 Raid Bugs and Observations
The Order 66 Raid in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has officially gone live, and like any large-scale galaxy-shaking event, it’s already stirring the data pads and Discord channels. While many players are enjoying the chaos of clone betrayals and Jedi survival tactics, the devs have been watching closely—and they’ve taken notes. 🧠 Undersized Team Penalties – Not Quite Balanced? If you thought running a 3-man squad was a genius strategy to min-max your score… think again. The Order 66 Raid’s tooltip warned us: undersized teams get penalized. But as it stands, the penalty mechanics aren’t quite living up to balance expectations—especially in higher-tier modifiers. The devs are actively evaluating whether this penalty is tuned appropriately or needs a rework. TL;DR: bring a full squad until further notice. 🤔 Clone Trooper Bug: Clever Ruse Not So Clever The Disguised Clone Trooper’s “Clever Ruse” ability is meant to grant 20% Turn…

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Order 66 Raid Bug Tied to Bad Batch Modifier
The Jedi aren’t the only ones getting ambushed. In the recently launched Order 66 raid in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, players have reported an unexpected twist: the Bad Batch modifier, meant to activate exclusively at Tier 7, is showing up in Tiers 1–6 as well. Yes, it’s a modifier mutiny—and the dev team has confirmed that they’re investigating the issue. 🛠 What’s the Bug? To put it simply: the Bad Batch raid modifier, which should only apply in Tier 7 of the Order 66 raid, is currently affecting all other tiers. This means that players diving into earlier tiers (presumably to build up or casually contribute) are getting hit with advanced mechanics and balancing shifts they weren’t supposed to face until the final tier. The result? Confusion, strategic misfires, and a noticeable spike in difficulty where there shouldn’t be one. 🔍 What the Modifier Does The Bad Batch modifier…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Update 6-25-2025 – Order 66, Scorch, and Ithano Incoming

Let’s dig into the June 25, 2025 update. 🚨 Order 66 Raid is Live If you’ve ever wanted to relive the darkest hour of the Republic—with a little less tragedy and a lot more strategic fun—the Order 66 Raid is now fully active.

Whether you’re gunning for top guild rewards or just vibing with your Empire roster, this one’s designed to shake up raid teams and theorycrafting. 🔓 Character Access & Farming Updates CX-2 Is Now Farmable This adds CX-2 to the grind rotation, making progress…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Kit Reveal: Captain Ithano Is Here to Steal Your Buffs and Your Glory
Move over Mandalorians—there’s a new swagger in town. Captain Ithano, the crimson-coated Corsair from The Force Awakens, has landed in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes with a kit that screams “profit-first, ask-questions-never.” He’s here to do two things: stack Profit and mess with your buffs. And he’s already doing both with pirate-tier efficiency. Captain Ithano is the lead unit kicking off the Era of Piracy, and if his kit is any indication, the scoundrels of SWGOH are getting a full-blown mutiny boost. The Pirate’s Code: Profit and Plunder Two central mechanics define Ithano’s playstyle: Profit and Stealing. He’s not here to play fair. He’s here to win dirty, die dramatically, and come back swinging. Abilities Breakdown: Stack, Steal, and Intimidate 🔫 Basic – Corsair Blaster Rifle 🛡 Special 1 – Lower Ye Shields! 😱 Special 2 – Intimidating Display (Zeta) ☠ Unique – I Don’t Die So Easily (Zeta, Omicron)…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Era of Piracy Event Guide: Loot, Legends, and Laser Cannons
The holotables just got a whole lot more… lawless. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is throwing on a tricorne hat and going full pirate mode with its brand-new limited-time event: Era of Piracy. If you’ve ever wanted to assemble a crew of shady smugglers, reckless raiders, and blaster-toting buccaneers, now’s your chance to embrace your inner Hondo Ohnaka.

So hoist the Jolly Roger, prep your datacrons, and let’s plunder the details. Hondo Ohnaka’s Legacy (And Ego) Lives On The event kicks off with a mysterious broadcast from a voice that definitely isn’t trying to swindle you. With all the charm of a Corellian card shark, this pirate introduces players to a smuggler’s paradise of credits, conquest, and questionable morals. “Speak freely… but carry a big blaster.”— Every scoundrel’s favorite life…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Update 6-18-2025 — Bug Fixes, Hoth Cleanup, and Pao’s Clone Crisis
The Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update on June 18, 2025, doesn’t come with shiny new characters or game modes, but it does pack in a much-needed cleanup across the galaxy—especially for anyone who’s been yelling into their holotable about Hoth platoons or Pao’s sudden ability to clone himself like he’s auditioning for a Kaminoan commercial. Here’s what went down in this latest bug-squashing blitz. Pao’s Platoon Paradox: Solved Pao may be tough, but he’s not omnipresent. A bug was forcing players to deploy him in multiple places during Phase 6 of the Hoth Planet Territory Battle, which—unless you’re channeling Palpatine-level dark science—is just not canon. Fix Summary: So, your roster juggling just got a little less maddening. It’s about time. “Legacy of the Sages”: Now 60% More Readable Let’s be honest—some ability descriptions in Galaxy of Heroes read like ancient Jedi scrolls translated by a malfunctioning protocol droid. Thankfully,…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Was Announced 10 Years Ago Today — And We’re Still Hooked
Ten years ago, Electronic Arts lit the fuse on what would become one of the most enduring mobile RPGs in the galaxy. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes was officially announced on June 15, 2015—and whether you’re a galactic gambler or an esports strategist, you’ve probably touched this game at least once (and then rage-quit over mod RNG). From its humble beginnings as a turn-based collector RPG to becoming a mainstay in mobile PvP circles, SWGOH has aged like fine blue milk. Let’s dig into the legacy, the memes, the monetization, and what’s kept this game rolling like a Hutt down a casino aisle. A New Hope for Mobile Star Wars Gaming Before SWGOH, Star Wars mobile games were hit-or-miss. Some were charming, others were… not. But EA Capital Games’ announcement changed that trajectory. Combining hero collection, turn-based tactics, and an endless hunger for crystals, SWGOH became the Star Wars mobile…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Order 66 Raid Is Here and It’s Brutal
If you’ve ever wanted to stand between Lord Vader and a bunch of terrified Jedi trying to escape with their robes still intact, congratulations—your time has come. The brand-new Order 66 Raid in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes puts you in the middle of one of the franchise’s most devastating moments, and yes, it’s as intense as it sounds. Defy the Dark Side (Or Die Trying) In this new legendary raid, Lord Vader is done talking. The Jedi Temple is under siege, Clone Troopers are no longer your allies, and the mission is simple: rescue as many Jedi as possible before Vader turns your team into space confetti. You’ll battle through waves of Dark Side Clone Troopers, face off against Appo, Fox, and others, and—if you’re lucky—get a shot at disrupting Vader long enough to pull off a Jedi jailbreak. Who Can You Use? Only specific characters are allowed in…
