SWGOH news: dev-post

This update adds News Hunter (Mercenary) to Accelerated Characters. It also fixes multiple bugs related to Lightspeed Tokens, GAC, Galactic Legend Hondo, Jedi Knight Revan, 4-LOM, Inquisitor Barriss, datacrons, Great Mothers, Temple Guard, Luthen, and various Protection Up effects. Additionally, Imperial Probe Droid and Director Krennic received significant kit adjustments.

The Era of Andor introduces Quality of Life changes, including reduced early Era Level requirements for Marquees and temporary removal of high-tier material bundles. Coliseum summoned units will scale based on the highest Era unit and vary by leader. Era Challenges will feature a 4-Feat system, and a roadmap for Cassian Andor (Undercover) progression is provided.

A new KX Security Droid unit is introduced, designed as a Tank for the ISB faction. Its kit focuses on gaining stacks of Overcharge to increase survivability and deal damage, with abilities that interact with ISB allies, particularly Imperial Probe Droid, and gain power through a Rank system. It is meant to be a stout Tank that can survive against attacking enemies, deal damage, and enable Imperial Probe Droid to use its Self-Destruct more often.

Today's update includes the addition of Batcher to Accelerated Characters and compensation for Conquest issues. Bug fixes address Marrok's mod recommendations, Yoda and Chewie's foresight grant, Jedi Master Mace Windu's buff immunity, Asajj Ventress's naming consistency, Conquest environment loading, Maul (Hate-Fueled)'s size display, and Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple)'s Retribution duration.

Capital Games is aware of an infinite loop occurring between Great Mothers, Nightsisters, and the "Weather the Storm" Data Disk. This issue is scheduled to be fixed in a future update.

A Conquest issue causing a missing asset loop is being investigated. The problem stems from a missing background asset and does not occur consistently. A fix is expected in this week's update, and compensation will be discussed after the resolution.

A fix is being developed to address a turn meter loop involving the Rex FDC unit. This update will be implemented in a future game update.

Datacrons will now release monthly and last for three months instead of releasing every other month and lasting four months. The complexity of each set will be lowered. Starting with Set 26, Datacron reroll costs for Levels 4-6 are halved, and the number of factions per set is reduced from four to two.

This update makes Zuckuss, 4-LOM, and Rebel B-wing farmable. It also accelerates Maul (Fuel-Hatred) and Omega (Fugitive) and announces an Additive Drops Event. Several bugs were corrected, and Bastila Shan and Mission Vao received kit updates.

A new Dark Side Attacker, Maul (Hate-Fueled), has been revealed, designed to fit within a Starkiller team. His kit features the new debuff Anguish, the unique debuff Fracture, and heavy synergy with Bleed, Edge of Madness stacks, and his health thresholds. He has specific Omicron abilities for Territory Wars.

A hotfix for the Pillars of War datacron issue has been rolled out. The rollback of affected Datacrons is complete, and the make good has been distributed to player inboxes. Players should restart their client if they do not see the make good.

An issue with overpowered Attacker-affix Datacrons will be addressed in an upcoming hotfix. Player Datacron inventories will be reverted, and players will receive new Datacrons, upgrade materials, and reduced Data-cache costs. Reroll material costs will be lowered, and affected players are advised to avoid Datacron investments until the rollback is complete.

An update has been released, granting 5,000 Era Currency to affected accounts and updating the Episode Pass description. It fixed an issue with bonus damage from Datacron Set 25 and reset affected Datacrons to level 5, refunding upgrade currencies. Reroll materials were not refunded and this is under investigation.

A hotfix was released to update Darth Vader's Datacron ability. The change addresses an issue with Darth Vader and the Bad Batch squad, allowing Darth Vader to be defeated if all allies are defeated or Captured.

A critical issue affecting Omega and Darth Vader with a Cron modifier is currently under investigation by the development team. This interaction is causing an unbeatable state for players. A hotfix is being prepared for release either by the end of today or early tomorrow.

This update addresses several character availability changes, bug fixes, and text corrections. Key changes include making News Chewie and Yoda available on December 16th, moving Rogue One blueprints to Light Side Battles 7-B, and correcting ability descriptions for Ezra Exile and Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano. A rerun of Knightfall is also scheduled.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes will provide compensation to players level 20 and above for recent issues impacting the 10-year anniversary and Coliseum launch. Players must log in between December 10, 2025, and January 1, 2026, to receive the package.

A hotfix addresses an issue where the Rebel LST was not targeting Lobot. This issue also affects other specific Rebel and Jedi characters, and a fix is being developed for these units.

A giveaway event, "11-Days of Meatmas," has been announced. Players can fill out a form to enter for a chance to receive daily in-game goodies from December 2nd until the developer's holiday vacation begins.

A bug with Jocasta in the Knightfall event has been identified. The team will address it after the holiday season, and the event is likely to be rerun once the fix is implemented.
