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.

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 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 – 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)…

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…
