Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Feb 10 Updates, Fixes, and Investigations
The dev team has shared a comprehensive status update covering current issues, fixes, and ongoing investigations in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. If you’ve run into bugs or odd behavior recently, here’s where everything stands. Andor Image Appearing Early on Webstore Episode Pass An Andor-themed image appeared on the Episode Pass earlier than planned while the Anniversary Episode Pass was still active. This was accidental.To make things right, the team has sent Andor Episode Passes to players who purchased the pass during that period. Zerek Ability Modules Not Converting Zerek Ability Modules failed to convert along with other era materials. Rather than a hotfix, the devs will ensure this is properly resolved at the end of the Andor era. Players Blocked from Kleya’s Marquee Event Some players were unable to continue in Kleya’s Marquee event. This has been fixed, and affected players were granted the necessary shards to progress. Missing…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes February Update – Andor Era Fixes & Major Imperial Touchups
The latest February update for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is less about flashy new characters and more about something players actually love: fixing broken stuff and making old units dangerous again. Between Era of Andor adjustments, long-requested bug fixes, and serious reworks for Imperial Probe Droid and Director Krennic, this patch quietly shifts parts of the meta — especially for Empire and ISB teams. Let’s break it down. 🚀 News Highlights Hunter (Mercenary) Is Now Accelerated More shards, faster farming. Always a win for roster growth. Era of Andor Continues No major system overhaul here — but this patch supports the ongoing Andor-era focus, especially with ISB synergy upgrades (more on that below 👀). 🛠️ Bugs & Fixes (AKA The “Finally” Section) This update hits a lot of lingering issues: This is one of those patches where the game just plays smoother across modes. ⚙️ CHARACTER TOUCHUPS – THE…
SWGOH Era of Andor Overhaul: Marquee Requirements Lowered, Coliseum Reworked, and Cassian Roadmap Revealed
The Era of Andor is almost here in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and Capital Games is clearly reacting to player feedback from the 10th Anniversary cycle. This time, the focus is on less early pressure, smarter progression, and clearer goals — especially for free-to-play players. Let’s break down the big changes. Early Era Pressure Is Being Reduced One of the biggest complaints last Era was the “Crystal Crunch” — players felt forced to overspend early. So CG is adjusting: Lower Requirements for Early Marquees This slows the early rush and gives players breathing room. Smart Store Management Tier 8 Era Material bundles (EL 80–95) are being temporarily removed until they’re usable. Goal:➡️ Stop players from accidentally overspending➡️ Prevent buying materials gated behind Zerek Ability Modules That’s a rare “we’re protecting players from themselves” move. Coliseum Is Getting a Major Rework Coliseum is shifting from a static grind to a…

Capital Games has officially revealed Kleya Marki as a marquee character in the new Era of Andor for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. She enters the Holotables as a Rebel Fighter Attacker built around crit pressure, turn meter swings, and one of the most momentum-flipping abilities we’ve seen in this era cycle.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Kicks Off the Era of Andor
A new themed cycle has officially begun in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and this time the spotlight is on spies, rebellion cells, and the gritty side of the fight against the Empire. Welcome to the Era of Andor. Capital Games has outlined the direction for this new era, which will bring Andor-inspired characters, events, and progression tweaks into the game over the coming cycle. It’s less about flashy Force users and more about boots-on-the-ground resistance strategy. What “Era of Andor” Actually Means In SWGOH terms, an “Era” isn’t just a theme — it’s a structured content phase. That means: It’s a tonal shift from Jedi vs Sith spectacle to more grounded Rebel operations. Big Change: Marquee Requirements Just Got Easier One of the most important practical updates in the announcement is a requirement reduction that directly affects player progression. For the first three Era of Andor Marquee events, the…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Update 1-21 – Broken Vader, Accelerated Batcher, and Conquest Compensation
Another day, another Galaxy of Heroes patch… and this one comes with a little bit of everything. EA just dropped Update 1-21, and the headline items are exactly the kind of chaos the community loves: Broken Vader, Batcher moved to Accelerated Characters, and Conquest compensation landing in inboxes. Plus, a handful of fixes ranging from mod recommendation issues to summon bugs, environment loading problems, and one very specific correction: Maul (Hate-Fueled) was apparently too optimistic about his size. Yes, that’s in the official update notes. Today’s News: The Big Stuff Broken Vader?! The update notes open with “Broken Vader!” — and honestly, that’s enough to make every SWGOH player stop what they’re doing. If you’re mid-GAC, mid-raid, or mid-Conquest run, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye out for weird Vader behavior until the dust settles. Batcher Added to Accelerated Characters ✅ Batcher is now Accelerated. That’s a big deal…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Datacron Issue Explained — Rollbacks, Hotfixes, and a Massive Make-Good Incoming
If your Datacrons felt like they went through a few too many hyperspace jumps this week, you’re not imagining it. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has run into a significant Datacron issue tied to the recent update aimed at fixing the overpowered Attacker-affix Datacrons — and the fallout has been messy enough that Capital Games is now hitting the reset button. The good news? A rollback is coming.The better news? So is a very generous pile of compensation. Here’s what’s happening, what’s changing, and what you should (and shouldn’t) do right now. What Went Wrong With the Datacrons? Wednesday’s update was supposed to rein in overpowered Attacker-affix Datacrons, particularly within the Pillars of War set. While the bug that caused AoE attacks to deal far more damage than intended was addressed, the fix introduced new problems. Most notably, affected players were not granted enough resources to restore their Datacrons to…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Issues Compensation for All Players After Anniversary & Coliseum Problems
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes just hit its massive 10-year anniversary, launched its long-awaited Coliseum feature… and then, well — things got messy. Over the past few weeks, players have run into crashes, bugs, broken interactions, and general Holotable chaos. Enough issues, in fact, that Capital Games has now stepped forward with a major compensation package to make things right. If you’ve been frustrated, you’re definitely not alone — and the good news is that everyone level 20 and up is getting rewarded. Here’s everything you need to know. A Rough Anniversary, But a Meaningful Response The devs openly acknowledged the problems in their announcement, stating that the recent wave of bugs “resulted in a poor gameplay experience” — especially during what was supposed to be a celebratory period for longtime SWGOH fans. To make up for the instability, they’re issuing compensation to the entire player base (as long as…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Turns 10 – The $2 Billion Mobile Giant That Still Dominates the Galaxy
A full decade has passed since Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes launched and quietly became the most profitable Star Wars video game ever made. Released in 2015, the mobile RPG didn’t arrive with the cinematic splash of a console blockbuster — but it did bring something far more powerful: a frictionless, endlessly expandable system built for collectors, strategists, and fans who always wanted to see Darth Vader punch General Grievous in the face. Ten years later, Galaxy of Heroes has generated an estimated $2 billion in revenue, making it the single most successful Star Wars game in history. Not Battlefront. Not KOTOR. Not Jedi: Fallen Order. A mobile squad battler did what none of them could. And the wild part? It’s still going strong. A Decade of Dominance in the Star Wars Gaming Galaxy Most live-service mobile games burn out after a few years. Galaxy of Heroes did the opposite…

Here’s your complete, streamlined, SEO-friendly rundown of everything that matters. Conquest Characters & Galactic Legends Will Still Use Gear Let’s start with the big one: Conquest units and Galactic Legends will continue to require traditional gear.

Once they age out, they convert…

Below is a clean, practical breakdown with release notes, must-know mechanics, and team tips. Stormtrooper Luke (Light • Rebel • Support • Leader) Release: Nov 18, 11am PT (Marquee)Intended squad: ST Luke, ST Han, Princess Leia (+ R2-D2, Old Ben for 5v5) New mechanic – Buff Disruption (debuff): Target is immune to buffs until damaged; when it breaks from damage, that unit loses 100% TM.

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.

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…
