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)…

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. This event isn’t just a gimmick—it’s an entire era packed with new characters, exclusive battles, and a shipload of rewards. 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…

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,…

Let’s face it: nothing says “May the 4th” like a tidal wave of digital goodies, obscure character shards, and the kind of in-game economy inflation that makes Jawas look frugal. This year, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is back with its annual celebration, and it’s going hard. Like, “10 million credits just because” hard. Capital Games clearly knows how to throw a party—maybe too well. From May 1st through May 22nd, the Holotables are lit with more bundles, battles, and surprise giveaways than a Toydarian’s back-alley market. If you’ve got galactic ambitions (or just a mild Zeta addiction), this two-week extravaganza is worth your attention. Here’s everything that’s going down faster than a Mon Calamari cruiser in low orbit. 🎁 Celebration Inbox: Instant Gratification, Straight to Your Mailbox Capital Games kicks things off by stuffing your inbox like a Wookiee at a buffet.
