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. While not currently tied to a Galactic Legend or major meta team,…
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

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.

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…
Jedi Master Mace Windu Blasts Into Galaxy of Heroes – Legendary Kit Reveal and Meta-Shaking Power

Whether you’re building your next raid-dominating Jedi squad or just want to swing a purple lightsaber with devastating force, this version of Mace Windu brings mechanics that hit like a grav-sledge to the meta. Who Is Jedi Master Mace Windu in SWGOH? Let’s not sugarcoat it—this is the version of Mace we’ve been waiting for.

He’s a Light Side Attacker with team-wide synergy, battlefield control, and a deep rework…
Depa Billaba Joins the Fight in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Light Side Reinforcements Just Got Real
If you thought your Jedi roster in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes was looking a little too calm and composed, it’s time to stir things up. EA has officially dropped the kit reveal for Depa Billaba, a fierce Light Side Attacker with serious synergy, especially if you’re assembling the newly minted Jedi Vanguard team. And yes, she’s bringing both Vaapad and vibes. Jedi Vanguard’s Final Piece: Who Is Depa Billaba? In lore terms, Depa Billaba is no rookie. Once a Padawan of Mace Windu and later the mentor to Caleb Dume (Kanan Jarrus), she’s had her share of epic highs and heartbreaking lows. She also went full “last stand” in The Bad Batch, so if you know, you know. Now in Galaxy of Heroes, she slices her way into the Light Side ranks with a kit that’s all about counterattacks, Shatterpoint synergy, and Jedi drama. She’s not just another lightsaber-swinger….
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Kicks Off Extra Life Charity Drive with Bad Batch Bonuses

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Temple Guard Hotfix Finally Deploys (and It’s About Time)
If you’ve been staring at your Temple Guard in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes wondering why he’s less “noble Jedi protector” and more “broken training droid,” you’re not alone. EA just dropped a much-needed hotfix on June 5, 2025, aimed at calming the unrest in the Force — or at least fixing a few inventory-related headaches. Let’s break down what happened, what’s fixed, and what it all means for your holotable strategy (and your digital sanity). 🚨 The Temple Guard FDC Drama: What Went Wrong? Here’s the short version: players were supposed to receive a Temple Guard FDC (Fully Developed Character) after meeting specific in-game conditions. But for many, that character came in slightly undercooked — as in, Level 0 undercooked. Imagine unboxing a rare Jedi Knight only to realize he forgot how to hold a lightsaber. That was basically the vibe. Naturally, chaos ensued. Forums were lit, Reddit was…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Is Having a Connection Crisis — Here’s What’s Going On
It’s not just you. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes players across the galaxy are getting hit with connection issues that are making it feel like trying to log into the Death Star’s guest Wi-Fi. And while the game’s servers aren’t fully down, something shady is definitely going on behind the digital scenes. The developers are aware. The forums are on fire. And yes, there might actually be a fix. But first, let’s break down what’s happening. The Current Situation: The Force Has Disconnected According to the official EA update, some players (on both Android and iOS) are completely unable to connect to the game. That includes things like frozen loading screens, connection lost messages, and apps refusing to launch properly—even with a full signal and caffeine-fueled Wi-Fi. The EA forums confirmed the issue and stated that their team is actively working with Google’s support to track down the root cause….

Grab your Temple Guard and warm up that Relic 9 Mace Windu—things are about to get very Jedi Order around here. The upcoming Crimes Against the Republic Era Battle is the latest challenge in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and while the in-game event details were originally, well… slightly off, the devs have released the correct requirements—and they’re no joke. Whether you’re a collector, strategist, or just someone who hoarded Jedi for no good reason, now’s the time to prep your team. Let’s take a lightsaber-sharp dive into what you’ll need to bring the Republic’s enemies to justice (or at least to the loading screen of Tier 7). 🛑 First, a Note on the In-Game Confusion As of now, the in-game event info is inaccurate—but fear not. The EA forums have published the real requirements, and they’ll be corrected in a future patch. So don’t waste time leveling up Jawas…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes June 2025 Calendar — Troopers, Titans, and Tactical Chaos

Mayhem Management: Galaxy of Heroes Hotfix 5-22-2025 Arrives
It’s another day in the digital galaxy, which means another Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes hotfix has dropped—this time on May 22, 2025—and Scorch is officially back on protocol. Mostly. Sort of. This latest patch gives Scorch’s Unique Zeta ability a subtle-but-significant buff while tackling some tricky bugs that had the clone trooper eating more True Damage than a tauntaun in a Hoth snowstorm. It’s not a game-changer for everyone, but for those keeping an eye on GL meta balance and clone synergy, there’s a lot packed into this bite-sized update. Let’s dive into the update notes and see what got scorched. Scorch’s “Following Protocol” Zeta Just Got Meaner (But Smarter) The biggest headline from Hotfix 5-22-2025 is a Zeta upgrade for Scorch’s Following Protocol Unique ability. Here’s the new flavor text for the added Zeta effect: If there are no Galactic Legend enemies: At the start of each encounter,…

This droid isn’t just here to look shiny; it’s designed to punish anyone who dares to attack its Pirate Leader.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Unable to Get into Game? Here’s the Workaround You Need
Picture this: you’re all set to jump into Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, ready to crush some Galactic War or finally unlock that one character you’ve been grinding for. You tap the app… and nothing. The game won’t load. It’s like the Force just said, “Not today.” Before you start launching lightsabers across the room, take a breath—there’s a workaround that just might save your galactic ambitions. The Dreaded “Unable to Get into Game” Issue It’s been making the rounds—players are reporting that they simply can’t get into Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (SWGOH). It’s not that the game has joined the Dark Side (well, not entirely), but it seems some glitch in the system is keeping players out. The development team is already investigating the issue, but while they figure out how to patch it up, there’s a nifty little workaround that can help you get back to battling…
SWGOH Scorch Kit Reveal – Abilities, Strategy, and Synergies
When it comes to explosive gameplay, RC-1262, better known as Scorch, is about to shake things up in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. This tanky Dark Side Clone Trooper joins the Empire’s roster with a toolkit designed for pure devastation and, naturally, a touch of pyrotechnics. If you’ve been waiting to bolster your Dark Side Clone squad, Scorch is exactly the kind of heavy hitter you need. Who is RC-1262 ‘Scorch’?

He made a cameo with his squad in The Clone Wars and showed up as a leader of the Tantiss Base security detail in The Bad Batch. Now, he’s been reimagined for SWGOH as the perfect tank to lead Dark Side Clone Troopers into battle. Key Attributes: Bulwark is reminiscent of Reinforced Hull for ships, granting massive…
SWGOH Grand Moff Tarkin Update: New Dark Side Synergies and Abilities Explained
There’s nothing like a bit of fear to keep the local systems in line—especially when Grand Moff Tarkin is calling the shots. The latest update to Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes brings a host of improvements to Tarkin’s abilities, making him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, particularly when teamed up with the newly introduced Dark Side Clone Troopers. If you were wondering what this means for your 3v3 GAC strategy, let’s just say you might want to reconsider leaving Tarkin on the sidelines. Tarkin Gets a New Look: Special Damage and Synergy Overhaul One of the most notable changes is that all of Tarkin’s abilities now deal Special damage, moving away from the mix of Physical and Special that previously defined his kit. This makes his damage more predictable and allows for better scaling with Potency, which—spoiler alert—gets a massive boost in this rework. His Basic…
