A change to Galactic Legend battles was implemented today. Players will no longer lose tickets when they lose a Galactic Legend battle that requires tickets.
This update introduces Baylan Skoll, makes Marrok available in Chromium Packs, and adds Great Mothers to Cantina 8-E. IG-12 is now accelerated, and Galactic Legend tickets are no longer lost on a battle loss. Several bug fixes are included, and a known issue regarding TIE Dagger's ability description is noted.
The TIE Dagger's "Eradicate the Weak" crew ability has been updated with two changes. Max Protection gain per Sith ally was increased from 20% to 40%, and a new effect was added to prevent enemy Dark Side Ships from gaining Turn Meter if the allied Capital Ship is Sith.
Baylan Skoll, a Dark Side Tank, Leader, Mercenary, and Unaligned Force User, is introduced as an Epic Confrontation character. His event begins on October 31st at 11 AM Pacific and requires Grand Admiral Thrawn, Great Mothers, Marrok, Morgan Elsbeth, and Shin Hati at Relic 7. His kit focuses on gaining and utilizing "Soldier of Fortune" stacks for himself and Mercenary allies, with specific abilities for Grand Arenas.
A Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes stream event is scheduled for tonight at 7 PM PT on Twitch to support Extra Life. The developers will play the game Mysterium and encourage donations.
Capital Games has reviewed Executor vs. Leviathan fleet matchups, finding a specific Executor fleet overperforming against a Leviathan build optimized for mirror matches.

A short, cryptic poem was posted, referencing two pairs and a chase, with themes of partnership, pursuit, and treachery. It contains no explicit game information, character names, or release dates.
