Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Kit Reveal: Zuckuss Joins the Hunt
The Bounty Hunters just got a major upgrade. The Force-sensitive tracker Zuckuss is joining Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes as a new Dark Side Tank, Leader, and Unaligned Force User, bringing fresh synergy, survivability, and foresight mechanics that shake up the Bounty Hunter meta. His arrival in the game’s latest Marquee Event starts on November 4th at 11 a.m. Pacific, and fans of classic Star Wars lore are already buzzing. A Findsman Enters the Fight Zuckuss isn’t your average mercenary. In Star Wars lore, he’s a Gand Findsman, part of an ancient order of Force-sensitive bounty hunters who use ritual and foresight to track their prey across the stars. That mystical tracking ability directly inspires his new in-game mechanics — specifically his use of the Foresight buff, which he wields both defensively and offensively. This version of Zuckuss works best as a Leader, offering massive survivability and protection recovery to…

The holotables are heating up once again! Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has officially launched a brand-new Community Conquest Milestone Event, giving players a galaxy-sized reason to dive back into battle.

Beat Up Your Bosses – The Milestone Explained The event is simple, but it packs some serious community spirit. Every time players defeat a Conquest boss, it contributes to a global progress bar. When the community hits specific milestones, everyone receives rewards — with the total number of Conquest bosses defeated unlocking even greater prizes. Here’s the full breakdown of the milestones and their corresponding rewards: Every milestone reached increases the total reward pool for the entire community — so the more players participate, the bigger the haul for everyone.

This is one of the biggest overhauls to the Smuggler’s Run event series yet, streamlining cadence while boosting overall rewards to make sure your efforts (and your loot) feel even more worthwhile. And as Hondo himself would say: “A pirate always delivers!” A Smuggler’s Life: What’s Changing in Smuggler’s Run III Starting in November 2025, Galaxy of Heroes players can expect a new event rotation designed to keep things balanced, rewarding, and just a bit unpredictable—like any good smuggling operation.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Kit Reveal: The Stranger
The shadows stir once again in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. EA Capital Games has unveiled The Stranger, the enigmatic Sith figure from The Acolyte, and he’s bringing a whole new level of power and precision to the Dark Side.

Available through Conquest, The Stranger stands as one of the most lethal Sith attackers ever introduced in the game. His kit focuses on instant defeat mechanics, speed stacking, and reactive damage, all while empowering his team of “Acolytes.” The Stranger at a Glance This isn’t your typical Sith bruiser.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Kit Reveal: 4-LOM
The galaxy’s most logical hunter is back in action. EA Capital Games has officially revealed the full kit for 4-LOM, the calculating droid bounty hunter best known from The Empire Strikes Back. Once a protocol droid, 4-LOM has turned his talents toward more profitable (and deadly) pursuits — and his new Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes kit reflects that perfectly. With a toolkit built around debuffs, synergies, and a brand-new mechanic called Corrupted Translation, 4-LOM brings fresh strategy and control options to Dark Side Bounty Hunter teams. 4-LOM Overview This cold and calculating killer is more than just another Bounty Hunter. His skills combine the analytical precision of a droid with the tactical aggression of a true mercenary. Key Attributes Inspiration The developers describe 4-LOM as the “dark mirror” of C-3PO, blending protocol-level logic with deadly intent. His Corrupted Translation mechanic reflects his ability to “hack” and disrupt opponents’ systems…

A new update from EA Capital Games confirms that the team is investigating a store issue affecting bundle purchases in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. Some players who recently bought specific bundles received crystals instead of the advertised items, prompting the developers to pull the affected offers from the in-game store. “We are aware there are a couple bundles that are resulting in a failed purchase and giving crystals instead of the goods of the bundle. We have removed those bundles from the store.

The latest Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update (October 1, 2025) lands with new farmable characters, fresh chromium pack additions, and the arrival of the long-awaited Rebel B-Wing. Alongside these additions come bug fixes that make the Holotables a little smoother for both fleet commanders and character collectors.

Players who enjoyed the kit reveal will now be able to start unlocking and testing the B-Wing in action. New Farming Options Chromium & Cantina Updates Bugs and Adjustments Even the most polished fleets sometimes need maintenance. Here’s what got fixed: Why This Matters This update might not be the biggest of the year, but it delivers…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Kit Reveal: B-Wing Joins the Rebel Fleet
The Rebel fleet just got a major upgrade. In the latest Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes kit reveal, the long-awaited B-Wing starfighter has officially joined the game. Fans of Return of the Jedi, Star Wars Rebels, and even Skeleton Crew will instantly recognize the ship’s heavy-hitting design and devastating firepower. The B-Wing isn’t just another addition—it’s a carefully crafted piece of synergy that transforms Admiral Ackbar’s Home One fleet into a far more formidable opponent. For Rebel pilots across the Holotables, this is the reinforcement they’ve been waiting for. TL;DR – B-Wing Kit Highlights in SWGOH Why the B-Wing Matters The B-Wing is more than a nostalgia drop from the Battle of Endor. It’s been designed as a meta-shaping upgrade for the Rebel fleet: While it won’t dethrone the Big Three fleets (Executor, Profundity, Leviathan), the B-Wing significantly raises the ceiling for Rebel fleets, especially in matchups against similarly invested…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Design Fireside Chat and the Future of Relic Delta
The developers of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (SWGOH) have released a new Design Fireside Chat Edition, and it’s packed with insight into one of the most significant changes to progression the game has seen in years: Relic Delta. This is not just a patch note—it’s a look behind the curtain at the philosophy guiding SWGOH’s design team as they balance scalability, progression, and player investment in a live-service game that’s now a decade old. TL;DR highlights Why Relic Delta? For years, relics have been the backbone of vertical progression in Galaxy of Heroes. Introduced six years ago as a replacement for the gear grind, relics simplified character progression and provided clear, scalable upgrades. But here’s the issue: This is a scalability problem. If vertical progression stalls in a vertical game, the core loop of Play > Get Rewards > Invest > Get Stronger > Play breaks down. Without meaningful…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Community Check-In Reveals New “Relic Delta” System in Development
The developers of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes have given fans a rare peek behind the curtain. In a new community check-in, the team shared early details about an ambitious feature currently in closed playtesting—something they’re calling the “Relic Delta” system. While that’s only a working title, the concept could reshape how Relic levels influence battles on the Holotables. A Closed Playtest With Open Discussion For this update, the devs are trying something unusual: That means the community will get firsthand insights from testers long before the official release. If the team later expands the playtest, they promise to announce how others can join. What Is “Relic Delta”? “Relic Delta” is a placeholder name for a new system that aims to make Relic power scaling more dynamic. In simple terms: The goal is to create more balanced and interesting encounters, where high-Relic teams don’t automatically dominate. It could also shake…

The galaxy just got a little more rebellious.

This Light-side Support Cargo Ship doesn’t just look good—it’s designed to throw the Empire off balance and help Rebel pilots outmaneuver even the toughest fleets. Why Rogue One Matters for Your Fleet For years, players have joked that Bodhi Rook was the Rebel without a cause. Nearly a decade into the game and he still didn’t have a ship to call his own. That changes now. The Rogue One kit was built to give the Profundity fleet an extra edge—particularly in matchups against the dreaded Executor. Key highlights at a glance: Want more context on Profundity’s rise in the current meta? Check out our Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes news hub…

The galaxy’s most charismatic smuggler has stepped into the spotlight again. In a lively Designer Q&A, the development team behind Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes pulled back the curtain on Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka’s new Galactic Legend kit—and the answers are as cheeky as the character himself. Here’s everything you need to know from the Q&A, from strategy insights to Hondo’s own brand of wit. Hondo Isn’t Just a Jedi or Sith Counter While Hondo’s kit includes plenty of anti-Jedi and anti-Sith tricks, the designers made it clear his crew is far from one-dimensional. Lightning Raid—his signature move—lets him slip past Taunts and eliminate key enemies no matter who’s on the other side. Whether you’re facing mercenaries, droids, or even an angry Wookiee, Hondo and his pirates will still “find a way to profit.” Ultimate Charge: Profitable Loopholes Hondo gains Ultimate Charge whenever allies gain Profit, and allies begin each…

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.

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?
