SWGOH news: fleet

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.

This update makes Batcher's shards farmable from Fleet Battles, fixes several bugs, and details numerous adjustments to Datacron sets and character abilities.

This post answers player questions about the upcoming Conquest character, Jocasta Nu. Key points covered include her role as a "lifter" unit, her three omicrons (active in Grand Arenas), interactions with protection and debuffs, and details on her transformation mechanics.

The January 2025 event calendar for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has been revealed, featuring Omega Events for various factions, multiple Galactic Challenges, Assault Battles, Fleet Mastery events, and Territory Wars/Battles. Specific dates for Credit Heist, Contraband Cargo, and Droid Smuggling are also listed.

Capital Games announced an Extra Life charity stream for UC Davis Children's Hospital on December 20th. Players can donate for individual rewards or contribute to community goals that unlock in-game events and gifts, planned for early February. Donations require an ally code to identify players for rewards.

The December 2024 calendar for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes lists upcoming events including Omega events, Assault Battles, Mythic events, Fleet Mastery, Territory Battles, Territory Wars, and various other limited-time events. Dates for each event are provided.

Asked why the fleet mastery change was happening during a rough player sentiment period, MeatheadMilitia said the change exists to allow players who do not yet have those ships at 330 shards to be able to do the fleet masteries daily. He acknowledged that feedback from players already at 330 had been noted.

Fleet mastery events for specific capital ships are now visible to players below 330 ship shards, allowing daily participation. Once a ship reaches 330 shards, its event becomes inaccessible.

A make-good package will be distributed to players who logged in on the update day, including Episode Points, Crystals, various currencies, and training droids. An additional 25,000 Episode Points will be granted to players level 85 and above. Galactic Challenge feat and Daily Quest Episode Point rewards will be increased in the next update.

The latest SWGOH update introduces Rey (Dark Side Vision) and Huyang, alongside a new Loyalty Program event starting November 21st. Kelleran Beq is now accelerated, and Shin Hati - Dark Side is available in Hard Mode. Punishing One is now farmable.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is celebrating its 9th anniversary from November 18 to November 24 with various in-game activities. Players can expect double drops for multiple battle types and an anniversary inbox gift containing various materials and character shards. Special crystal offers will also be available in-game and via webstore.

MeatheadMilitia gave soft positive signals on two long-standing QoL asks: simmable Fleet Mastery events and a Bronzium data card sim button. Neither is a commitment, but both were acknowledged as live internal topics.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed a backend server update on 2024-11-13 that converts daily energy spend into conquest tickets. He reported personally hitting the 600 ticket threshold without effort, and said the related coaxium webstore changes will go live later that day.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is introducing a new 12-week Era and 4-week Episode structure for character releases and events. Daily Activities become Daily Quests, and a new Episode Track with Free and Paid tiers offers rewards. Several events are becoming simmable.

Meathead said one of the better solutions for the Fleet Arena top-rank complaint is to remove crystals from Fleet Arena entirely and put them somewhere else. He also forwarded a detailed player proposal for tiered per-win Fleet Arena rewards with a daily cap, after rewriting the language, and confirmed it has its own internal Google document.

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.

A player inquired if Capital Games would refund resources for Sith Assassin following the Dagger update, drawing a parallel to the Malak release which diminished Sith Assassin's utility after players were encouraged to upgrade her for Darth Revan teams. MeatheadMilitia confirmed there would be no refunds for players who had relic'd the character.

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.

A developer confirmed a Quality of Life (QoL) update is coming to SWGOH. However, they clarified it's a small, single-item change that will personally make them happy, not a broad improvement like mod management or fleet arena adjustments. The community had been speculating about a larger QoL update based on an earlier passing comment.

Capital Games has reviewed Executor vs. Leviathan fleet matchups, finding a specific Executor fleet overperforming against a Leviathan build optimized for mirror matches. No direct changes to Punishing One are planned. Instead, TIE Dagger will receive buffs to improve its performance in Leviathan mirror matches and against Executor/Punishing One fleets.
