Starting next week, Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes got a brand new season of Grand Arena Championships, and with the 40th anniversary of Empire Strikes Back happening during this GAC, Capital games thought it would be an excellent idea to theme the GAC with that movie in mind to celebrate! It turns out that Empire Strikes Back is too big for just a single Championship as well, so this season will cover the Battle of Hoth and Luke’s training on Dagobah, leaving the other parts of ESB (bounty hunters and Bespin) for the next season. This month is 3v3 battles, so think carefully about who you set on defense and what you might expect to face. The game developers over at CapitalGames listed the starting dates for the feats so you can better plan your defenses and gear up your teams. All dates are approximate and may not sync up…

Here is a run down of this mysterious man of few words works as a Bounty Hunter at the far edge of the galaxy. No one really knows where he came from or how he’s so well-equipped for battle but few question his ability to bring in a target.

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes will introduce some brand new faces from Star Wars: The mandalorian to the game. Last time we talked about Cara Dune, and now it it time to talk about Greef Karga, a notorious scoundrel and the go-to-guy for connecting Bounty Hunters with clients on Nevarro. Greef is always trying to spot the most lucrative solution to whatever predicament he finds himself in, and his abilities reflect this. He prefers to hang back while other Bounty Hunters work to achieve their Payouts and he supports the squad with mass assist calls and frequent recovery of Health and Protection.

Cara Dune is comming to Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. Here is a run down of this veteran Rebel Shock Trooper who has reinvented herself as a mercenary since leaving military life behind. This tough, no-nonsense brawler hasn’t forgotten how to fight an enemy like the Empire and can be difficult to take down in battle. While Cara can find a place as a deadly ambusher on a Scoundrel squad, she’s equally at-home under a Rebel leader, defending her allies as a front-line combatant. UNIT NAME: Cara DuneALIGNMENT: LightCATEGORIES: Light side, Tank, Rebel, ScoundrelA Scoundrel/Rebel Tank who gains benefits when being led by either. ABILITIES: Basic: BAR ROOM BRAWLER FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy. If there is a Scoundrel ally in the leader slot, Cara Dune gains Stealth until the end of her next turn.

The guys over at Capital games posted a another State of the Galaxy! Galactic Legends Rey and Kylo Ren are landing later this month so we want to share some final insights into the development of these characters and their events. Galactic Legends are a new type of character and we start them off with the culmination of the new trilogy – the Force dyad of Rey and Kylo Ren. Many of our strongest characters are released in quick events as bursts of excitement, however we also want to diversify our event experiences. By slowly revealing the requirements and leaving the events open (once you’ve met the requirements), these events serve as a long-term goal for veteran players to work towards. As we’ve mentioned, Galactic Legends unlock at 7 stars, but unlike many other events, you don’t need to reach the final tier of the event to achieve this. You’ll…

Here is the break down the new First Order capital ship, the Finalizer! You can find the kit reveal in the Arena and Character Strategy section of the forums or read on below to find out more. The Basics: The Finalizer is a new First Order capital ship commanded by General Hux. Finalizer directly synergizes with First Order fleets and grants offense bonuses. Alongside Raddus, Finalizer is useful as a secondary fleet in Territory Wars and Grand Arena. Finalizer is almost the complete opposite of Raddus in terms of abilities, every Finalizer ability is some form of attack while Raddus is almost entirely defensive. Unique Attributes: New Debuff – Hunted – Deal 75% less damage with out of turn attacks and can’t gain bonus Turn Meter. Hunted also has a specific interaction with the Finalizer’s Unique ability, Two Steps Ahead, that provides a critical damage bonus when a First Order ally defeats a Hunted…

Here is the newest Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes State of the Galaxy. This time for February – while this one is coming mid-month, the next installment is promissed to return us to a more regular schedule. The developers over at Capital Games like to cover in this month’s State of the Galaxy: Galactic Legends Event StructureWe’ve got a few details we’d like to share about the new Galactic Legends Event Structure. We’ll bring these to you regularly as we continue to develop and refine the design. First off, this event will require a new kind of event ticket, which will be earned via existing game modes. These tickets will become earnable once a player has met the prerequisites and unlocked the event. We are still working out the specifics of where the tickets will be earned, but we expect players to be able to earn these tickets every day….

Finally back from the holidays, the devs want to briefly discuss Galactic Legends, some additional content in the next two months, and address some persistent tech problems. Check it out: Galactic Legends Shortly before the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, we unveiled a new type of character: the Galactic Legend. We know you’ve been asking when, where, what, and how, so we’re going to start pulling back the curtain. Galactic Legends will be both a new type of character and a new type of event with a very different structure than our previous entries. Over the next two months we will be gradually revealing the units required to activate the event. In March, the last batch of requirements will be revealed and later that month the events…

The Journey Guide is almost here! The guys over at CAPITAL GAMES have started the initial roll out and if everything goes smoothly, tomorrow they will update everyone’s client with the new features, new characters and several quality of life changes. The Hyperdrive Bundle will be available this week and they wanted to give you a breakdown of the contents. Check out the video below for a brief overview but you’ll want to read through below to understand how the mechanics of this specific bundle works. Philosophy When we launched Galaxy of Heroes, player level 60 was considered the “end game.” Today, much of the end-game content is accessible starting at level 85. As the game has evolved, your collection is really what determines your progress in the game rather than your account level. We’ve heard from many of you in previous Dev Q&A’s that it’s important we focus on improving the new user…

This time, The developers over at Capital games are discussing  the difficulties of creating the largest capital ship in the game and what strategies we should consider when utilizing the ship in battle. Q: What is the Malevolence?CG_M: Malevolence is a massive Subjugator-class heavy cruiser used by General Grievous as his flagship in Clone Wars tv show during the Malevolence arc of episodes. Right at the start of the series, the Separatists use their super weapon to terrorize the galaxy and control where the Republic can engage them. It’s built around a massive ion cannon that can disable whole fleets in a single blast. Q: Why did we bring this character to the holotables now?CG_M: We initially envisioned this ship to launch with Separatist Might but as we got closer to release, there weren’t many ships that could support it and actually make a useful fleet. We already had the…

This week, They developers over at Capital games are discussing a particularly recognizable Cerean Jedi, Ki-Adi-Mundi The discussion goes about what’s going on in that big head of his and what we can expect this Jedi Master to bring to the holotables. check it out: Q: Who is Ki-Adi-Mundi?CG_M: Most people probably recognize him as the Jedi Council member who asks, “What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?” in Revenge of the Sith but this character was given a much deeper lore and history outside of the main movies. He plays a significant role in the Clone Wars TV show, as a leader and mentor, and proves himself far more level headed than the rest of the Jedi by advising caution and reason in most dangerous circumstances. Besides being a Jedi Council master, Ki-Adi-Mundi is known to be one of the top swordsman of the order and is incredibly skilled with…

The guys over at CAPITAL GAMES has posted another installment of the Road Ahead in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. In this post they are discussing some exciting changes the developers have planned for future content in Galaxy of Heroes. New Trilogy ContentWhile the Light Side Territory Battle for Geonosis completes this current chapter for Galaxy of Heroes, we’ve been delighted from all imaginative Clone Wars squads you’ve built. But for now we are transitioning to the New Trilogy and, like all of you, we were incredibly excited to see the final trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker! We’re looking forward to having old friends (General Hux) and some new friends (Sith Trooper), kick off our foray into the culmination of the Skywalker Saga! While we can’t release specifics about some of the other upcoming characters and ships, we can tell you that this phase of content will…

Here is a list of some of the upcoming events in Star Wars: Galaxy if Heroes for November 2019. As allways you have to remember that all dates are subject to change.  DISCLAIMER: ALL DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Daily Login Character for November: Royal Guard Royal guard? thats weird in the middle of the transition from Episode 2-3 content to 8-9…. some event related with the emperors shuttle maybe? They had Emperor’s shuttle in the $20 pack they had in the store the last day or two. I’m not sure what kind of an event would require palps shuttle though… at least, not with the current content roll they’re on (as you acknowledged). I do anticipate a sith capital ship helmed by malak or nihlius to drop at some point, but… with kenobi just hitting the arena now and malevolence presumably on the way, that sounds weird to me. Anyways. Here it…

The guys over at Capital Games has posted a new developer insight. This time they are talking with the designers of General Skywalker and how they went about creating this iconic character from the Star Wars universe.  Check i out Q: What makes General Skywalker special? Does he have any unique mechanics?CG_Prophet: Absolutely, Anakin Skywalker has been many things over the years; pod racer, droid builder, Jedi Padawan and even a legendary pilot, and now he’s coming to Galaxy of Heroes this week as General of the 501st! I’m super excited for him to finally come to the game. CG_ParkingInstructor: General Skywalker is unlike any other character players can get their hands in the game right now. He is an absolute boss, as he should be, and by that I mean he actually feels like playing a raid boss character in Galaxy of Heroes. He takes 2 actions per turn (like a raid boss)…
