Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has dropped another update, and this one is basically a quiet little ISB paperwork bomb. The headline for most players is simple: Kleya shards are now farmable from Light Side Battles 8-F (Hard). That instantly makes one of the newer Andor-era characters much easier to plan around, instead of leaving her floating in the awkward “nice unit, but when can I actually farm this?” zone. But Kleya is not alone. The update also adds Cinta, Vel, Kleya, KX Enforcer Droid, Dedra, and Major Partagaz to Shipments, giving players more ways to chase the expanding Andor and ISB roster. Apparently the Rebellion and the Imperial Security Bureau both filed their Holotable paperwork on the same day. Efficient. Slightly terrifying. Kleya Finally Enters the Farm Kleya becoming farmable is the big practical change here. She can now be found on Light Side Battles 8-F (Hard), which means…

Galaxy of Heroes Starts Its New Republic Era With R5-D4, Zeb and Carson Teva
The New Republic has officially arrived in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and yes, somehow R5-D4 may be the most alarming part of that sentence. EA has published its official Era of the New Republic Kit Reveal, detailing three new Light Side units: R5-D4, Zeb Orrelios (New Republic Pilot), and Captain Carson Teva. That is a wonderfully strange little squad on paper. A bad-motivator droid, a Lasat brawler turned New Republic pilot, and the Outer Rim’s most tired-looking lawman. Honestly, this is exactly the kind of lineup Galaxy of Heroes loves: half deep-cut fan service, half tactical spreadsheet waiting to ruin someone’s Grand Arena week. The New Republic Finally Gets a Proper Squad Identity The big story here is not just that three familiar faces are joining the game. It is that New Republic is being built as a real faction identity, with mechanics focused on retaliation, protection, evasion, debuffs,…
SWGOH Kit Adjustments Target Ezra, Ahsoka, Merrin, and Gungan Phalanx
Capital Games is making some fairly chunky Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes kit adjustments, and this one is not just a tiny tooltip cleanup hiding in the corner. In a new official character kit adjustments post, the team outlined incoming changes for Gungan Phalanx, Ezra Bridger (Exile), Ahsoka, and Merrin. The short version: some power is being moved, some counters are being shut down, and several investments are being reset and refunded so players can rethink their choices. Translation: the Holotables are about to get spicy again. Gungan Phalanx Moves From Galactic Challenges to Territory Wars The first major change affects Gungan Phalanx. His Omicron was originally designed for Galactic Challenges, but since those are not currently running, Capital Games is moving it to Territory Wars instead. The ability is also being rebalanced for that mode. The updated Omicron loses the old start-of-encounter 100% Evasion, reduces the Shield Generator’s Plasma…
SWGOH Is Sending Eligible Players 30,000 Crystals After Cassian Compensation Change
That is not a typo. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is sending 30,000 Crystals to eligible players after changing its Cassian compensation plan. Capital Games confirmed in its official Update on Cassian Compensation that the original make-good tied to the Cassian situation has been replaced with a much simpler reward: a very large pile of Crystals. What Changed? The earlier plan, outlined in a previous Hotfix Update + Compensation Update, included 3,000 Crystals and Episode Pass Plus access for eligible players connected to the Cassian (Undercover) issue. That has now changed. Instead, eligible players are getting 30,000 Crystals sent directly to their inbox. In SWGOH terms, that is not a small apology. That is “suddenly opening the game very carefully” money. Why 30,000 Crystals Matters Crystals are the most flexible kind of compensation Capital Games could offer. Players can use them for energy refreshes, shipments, gear, signal data, event prep,…
SWGOH May the 4th Celebration Brings Free Gifts, Bonus Drops, and a Very Sithy May 5th
The Holotables are getting the full Star Wars Day treatment — and yes, Capital Games remembered the Sith too. Capital Games has outlined the Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes May the 4th celebration, with daily rewards, a free calendar, a massive inbox gift, Crystal deals, Trove Packs, Lightspeed Bundles, bonus drops, and a packed event schedule running through the middle of May. The official post also gives a polite nod to “May the 5th” for the Sith crowd, because even galactic villains deserve calendar representation. Daily Rewards and a Huge Inbox Gift The biggest immediate reason to log in is the free stuff. Starting May 4, players can visit the Web Store and PC Store every day to claim special Mystery Chests. While there, players can also grab the free May the 4th calendar from the Web Store. Capital Games is also dropping a large inbox gift to kick off…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Launches 2026 Extra Life Charity Events With New Donation Packs
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is turning the Holotables into something more useful than another argument about Omicrons: a charity push for children’s healthcare. Capital Games has kicked off its Extra Life Charity Events 2026, once again teaming with Extra Life and Children’s Miracle Network to raise money for UC Davis Children’s Hospital. The first stream was scheduled for May 1, 2026, from 3–5 PM PT on the Capital Games charity Twitch channel, with the campaign now shifting into a year-long format rather than one giant marathon. A Year-Long Charity Push, Not One Big Sprint This year’s big change is the format. Instead of building everything around one long fundraising event, Capital Games says the 2026 campaign will feature smaller, more casual streams throughout the year. That is probably a smart move. A single marathon can be fun, chaotic, and mildly dangerous to everyone’s sleep schedule, but a year-long series…
SWGOH’s New Republic Era Kits Are Counterattack Chaos With a Droid Bomb
The Era of New Republic is officially taking shape in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and Capital Games is not being subtle about the design direction. This is not just “here are some new characters, please enjoy the portraits.” The latest official New Republic Kit Reveals Pt. 1 lays out a whole new mechanical identity built around counterattacks, disruption, Damage Over Time, Taunt control, Evasion, temporary Era systems, and one spectacularly suicidal astromech droid. The first wave includes R5-D4, Zeb Orrelios (New Republic Pilot), Captain Carson Teva, and Snowtrooper Commander. Three more New Republic-era characters are still being kept secret for a future reveal, because apparently even patch notes need a mystery box now. Let’s break down what actually matters. R5-D4: The Droid Nobody Picked Is Now a Problem Yes, R5-D4 is getting a real kit. The famous “bad motivator” droid from A New Hope is being turned into a…
SWGOH’s Cantina Update Is a Full Remodel, Not a Fresh Coat of Paint
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is turning ten, and apparently the Cantina finally looked around, saw the decade-old furniture, and said: “Right. Time to stop pretending this is fine.” The latest official Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update breakdown lays out a major visual and functional refresh for the game, centered around a fully remodeled Cantina, campaign restructuring, farming changes, economy improvements, Journey Guide reorganization, early-game cleanup, and a handful of quality-of-life fixes. This is not just a shinier background. It is one of those updates that touches the way players move through the game every day. Fey’s Cantina Gets a Proper Glow-Up The headline change is the Cantina Update, which gives Fey’s Cantina a full visual and navigation overhaul. Tables, patrons, and employees are getting updated models and textures. Patrons are now more varied, and some will even move around the Cantina. Fey herself also gets a bit more…
SWGOH’s May the 4th Update Is Basically a Cantina Renovation With Consequences
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is almost ten years old, which in mobile game years means it should either be preserved in carbonite or given a very serious makeover. Capital Games is choosing the second option. The latest official Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Community Update lays out a huge wave of changes coming to the game, including Cantina 2.0, campaign reworks, economy tuning, Loaned Units, future systems like Overcharge and Era Arena, and — yes — the long-awaited arrival of Training Mode in a future update. That is a lot. This is not one of those “we moved a button and gave Chewbacca a new hat” updates. This is a serious modernization push for a game that has been carrying Star Wars mobile gaming on its back since 2015. Cantina 2.0 Is the Big Visual Refresh The headline feature is Cantina 2.0, arriving as part of the May the…
SWGOH Is Resetting Satele Shan After GL Rey Investigation
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is making a direct change to Satele Shan after investigating her interaction with Galactic Legend Rey. In a new official update, the Galaxy of Heroes team says it reviewed how Satele was performing with GL Rey and decided it needed to step in. With tomorrow’s patch, players will have their Satele Shan reset to a level that allows reinvestment, giving them the chance to rebuild her after the changes. That is the real headline here. This is not just a tiny balance tweak buried in patch notes. It is a full intervention tied to a specific high-profile interaction, and it comes with meaningful updates to Special 02 and Legendary Defiance, two parts of Satele’s kit that now push her more clearly toward Old Republic teams. What changed The revised Special 02 now dispels all buffs on all enemies, deals Physical damage to the target, applies…
SWGOH Kit Reveal: Cobb Vanth Brings Jawas and Tuskens Together
Cobb Vanth has officially arrived in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and his kit is exactly the kind of thing that makes theorycrafters sit up a little straighter and casual readers mutter, “hang on, he does what now?” In the official kit reveal, EA/Capital Games positions him as a Light Side Leader, Attacker, and Constable built to pull Jawas, Tuskens, and a broader Constable squad into one high-performance team across multiple modes. In other words, “Mr. Tatooine” is not here to fit neatly into one lane. He is here to deputize half the desert. Mr. Tatooine is basically a lawman with a very strange posse That is what makes this kit fun right away. Cobb’s whole design revolves around tracking down Outlaws, punishing the wrong targets, and rewarding the right mix of allies. His Basic already plays into that identity by treating Dark Side, Light Side, and Outlaw enemies differently,…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes April 1 Update Fixes a Long List of Bugs — But Two New Investigations Are Already Underway
SWGOH’s April 1 update was busy for all the right and wrong reasons Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes had a surprisingly packed April 1, 2026. On paper, the day’s official update looked like a standard maintenance-style cleanup: one character became farmable, another moved into the Accelerated pool, and a long list of bug fixes and description corrections rolled out across the game. But the bigger story is what happened alongside it. Within hours of that update post, Capital Games also confirmed it is investigating two separate issues: one tied to the Power for Hire Datacron set, and another involving Satele Shan interacting with Galactic Legend Rey in a way that is causing both characters to overperform. In other words, yes, things got fixed — but the live game still has some very active fire alarms going off. The immediate wins: farmable shards, acceleration, and a pile of fixes The headline…
SWGOH Flags New Dedra Bugs as EA Investigates Quest and Coliseum Issues
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has a new batch of live issues on the board, and they all point back to Dedra Meero. In an official Known Issues and Investigations post, the team said it is aware of multiple problems tied to Dedra-related quests and abilities and is currently investigating them, with no further details yet on timing or fixes. What Is Apparently Broken Right Now According to the official issue roundup, three specific problems are being tracked. First, “win battles with Dedra on your squad” quest progress is not counting correctly in Dedra marquee battles. Second, “Undermine” inflicted is not counting properly toward the related character quest. Third, Dedra’s Unique ability is reportedly not applying to ISB allies in Coliseum. Why This One Matters This is the kind of bug cluster players notice fast, because it hits both progression and team functionality at the same time. If marquee-battle wins…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Update 3/18 Adds New Farmable Shards and Fixes Key Bugs
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes just got a small but useful March 18 update, and the biggest takeaway for many players will be a shard shuffle involving Yoda & Chewie and Baze Malbus. EA’s official update says Yoda & Chewie shards are now farmable from Light Side Battles (Hard) 9-C, replacing Baze Malbus, while Baze Malbus moves to Light Side Battles (Hard) 5-F. Two New Events Are Also On the Way The update also teases an Additive Drops Event and a Mystery Event, though EA’s post does not include detailed timing or rewards in the brief summary. Bug Fixes Include Stormtrooper Luke and Vane On the fixes side, Capital Games says it has corrected the Stormtrooper Luke Omicron cost and fixed an issue where Vane was not properly gaining offense based on max health. Those are the kind of adjustments that will matter a lot more to active roster builders…
Galaxy of Heroes Adds Cinta Kaz, and She Looks Built to Be a Quiet Problem for the Other Team
The Era of Andor rollout in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is still going, and now it is Cinta Kaz’s turn to hit the holotables. Fantha Tracks picked up the news from Lucasfilm Games, while the official kit reveal mirrored on SWGOH.GG places her Marquee event from March 10 to March 17 as part of the broader Andor-era release schedule. That alone is enough to make Andor fans pay attention, because Cinta was never the loudest character in the room. She was the one who made silence feel dangerous. And honestly, that seems to be exactly what the game is leaning into here. The official kit reveal describes her as a cold, fearless assassin and a stealthy Attacker who slots into the new Rebel Fighter team alongside Cassian Andor (Undercover), Luthen Rael, Kleya Marki, and Vel Sartha. The Game Clearly Knows What Kind of Character Cinta Is One of the…
SWGOH Game Update (March 4, 2026): IG-90 Goes Farmable, Plus a Big Pile of Fixes
If today’s Galaxy of Heroes update had a theme, it’s this: Capital Games is quietly sanding down the sharp edges. No new shiny toy in the patch notes — just a lot of “this shouldn’t have been happening” getting cleaned up, plus one very real farming win for anyone chasing droids. Most quotable takeaway: This isn’t a hype patch — it’s a stability patch. And those are usually the ones you feel a week later. The Headline: IG-90 Shards Are Now Farmable The one piece of “news” news: IG-90 shards are now farmable from Cantina Battles 8-A. That matters for two reasons: Quote-ready line: The moment a unit becomes Cantina-farmable, it stops being a rumor and starts being a roster plan. Bug Fixes That Actually Affect Real Matches This update is basically a greatest-hits album of weird edge cases — and yes, some of these were absolutely impacting GAC/Conquest runs…

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…

Kleya Marki: Rebel Network Powerhouse in SWGOH
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…
