SWGOH news from Capital Games

Capital Games acknowledges unintended interactions between Lord Vader's new Clone units and teams led by Mon Mothma and Bo-Katan (Mandalorian). These interactions will be corrected in an upcoming game update.

A workaround for players unable to access the game has been provided. Players can sign out of Google Play, start as a guest, complete the tutorial if necessary, and then import their account using their email address.

An issue with the Jar Jar Binks Journey Guide was identified. The development team is actively investigating the problem to resolve it. Players were thanked for their patience during this time.

Padawan Obi-Wan has been added to Accelerated Characters. Jar Jar Binks is permanently available in the Journey Guide. CC-1119 "Appo" is now in Chromium Packs and Shipments, and Crosshair (Scarred) shards are farmable from Light Side 7-9 Hard. Several bug fixes and adjustments were made to character abilities and datacrons, including fixes for Bad Batch Echo, General Kenobi, Lord Vader, CX-2, Master Qui-Gon, Jocasta Nu, Enfys Nest, Kanan Jarrus, and Disguised Clone Trooper.

RC-1262 "Scorch" is a new Dark Side Tank unit, unlocking via Marquee event on May 20. He introduces the Bulwark buff and is required at Relic 5 for Jedi Master Mace Windu. His kit synergizes with Lord Vader and the reworked Grand Moff Tarkin, particularly in Grand Arenas.

Grand Moff Tarkin received an update, specifically designed to provide a secondary Dark Side Clone Trooper leader option, particularly for 3v3 Grand Arenas. His kit was revised for modern clarity, damage types standardized to Special, and his Basic, first Special, and Leader abilities gained new synergies with Dark Side Clone Troopers and Empire allies. A new 3v3 Omicron was added to his Leader ability.

A hotfix will be deployed in 20 minutes to address character ability localization and translation issues. This is a backend change focused on correcting text errors.

The Hyperdrive Bundle is available again for a limited time for $9.99. It includes gear, ability materials, currencies, energy, and unlocks 73 characters and 20 ships. The offer runs from May 2 to May 28, 2025.

A hotfix is scheduled for release around 1:45 PM PT. The announcement did not specify what issues the hotfix addresses or what changes it will implement.

The May 2025 event schedule is announced for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. The calendar includes Omega Events, Assault Battles, Mythic Events, Fleet Mastery, Territory Battles, and Territory Wars. Padawan Obi-Wan & Master Qui-Gon will be the daily login unit for the month.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is launching a May the 4th celebration with in-game gifts, new bundles including a Separatist Commander Razor Crest, and various events and drop bonuses. The celebration will run for two weeks.

Today's update announces SM-33 as a new Conquest unit and the addition of a 'Pirate' tag. Disguised Clone Trooper Wrecker (Mercenary) shards are now farmable from Dark Side 6-A Hard, and General Hux shards moved to Galactic War Shipments. Several bug fixes and adjustments were implemented, including a cost reduction for a CX-2 Omicron ability.

A new Dark Side Support unit, Disguised Clone Trooper, is coming to SWGOH. He specializes in debuffs, bonus turns for allies under Lord Vader, and has a Territory Wars Omicron that significantly impacts Order 66 mechanics. He requires Relic 5 to unlock Jedi Master Mace Windu.

A limited-time Apple Gift Card promotion is available from April 22, 2025, to May 27, 2025, in the United States, Canada, and the UK. Purchasers of specific gift card values at participating retailers will receive bonus in-game items, including Crystals, character shards, Credits, and T6 Training Droids. An issue with UK cards is being addressed.

A hotfix is planned for today to address an issue with the Ascension Bundle. The bug caused the final free claims to be removed. If the fix is successful, these claims should reappear for affected players.

The development team is aware that CX-2's Omicron ability, "You Chose the Wrong Side," incorrectly requires 20 ability materials instead of 10. This will be corrected in a future update, and players who applied the Omicron will be refunded the excess 10 materials.

This update introduces CX-2 Arrives and makes Crosshair (scarred) available. Omicrons for 3v3 and 5v5 modes have been reduced in cost, with refunds issued. Several fixes and adjustments were made to ability descriptions and mechanics for various characters, including Appo and Lord Vader.

CX-2 is a Dark Side Clone Trooper Support for Lord Vader's new squad, acquired via Marquee event on April 22 at 11am Pacific. He inflicts Order 66, Disarm, and Speed Down, Stealths frequently, and synergizes with Appo. 3v3 and 5v5 Omicron costs are reduced from 20 to 10.

Capital Games reminds players that fraudulent behavior is taken seriously. They will investigate and remove individuals found participating in such acts from Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes.

Capital Games is investigating two potential issues affecting Commander Appo. A bug with Appo's datacron has been confirmed and a fix is being implemented. The team is also investigating a potential issue with Appo's summon ability.
