SWGOH news: gl

CG Meathead confirmed the Galactic Legend Mando requirement releases follow a cadence but declined to share the specifics at this time.

A player floated that Rotta the Hutt being required for a GL Mandalorian feels deliberate. CG Meathead only said he relayed it. Unconfirmed.

The new era keeps the current level structure and marquee/legendary reward tiers. Yoda's marquee opens August 11. When the newsletter and forum disagree on requirements, the forum is right.

The Ronin, a Dark Side Sith Attacker from Star Wars: Visions, is revealed for the Era of Myths & Legends. He ramps single-target damage, summons droid R5-D56, and Siphons stats, built for Darth Jar Jar squads.

A new Light Side Attacker, Leia (Jedi Training), is revealed with a detailed kit.

She also features specific Grand Arenas Omicrons that enhance her and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's capabilities.

Colonel Ward is a Light Side Support unit for New Republic squads led by Captain Carson Teva. She inflicts debuffs, dispels Stealth, marks enemies, and triggers out-of-turn assists.

Grogu & Anzellans is a Light side Healer with Mandalorian, New Republic, and Unaligned Force User tags.

Marquee begins June 30th at 11am Pacific.

Upcoming kit changes update Gungan Phalanx's Omicron to Territory Wars with reduced values, gate Ezra Bridger (Exile)'s power behind a full Spectre squad with a kit rework, give GL Ahsoka counterattack True damage and Blind immunity, and restrict Merrin's Omicron to matches without Galactic Legends. Relic and Omicron investments on affected units will be reset and refunded.

Loaned Units will be added to Coliseum, and future updates will bring Overcharge, Era Arena, and a Training Mode replacing Squad Arena.

Asked jokingly if Max Rebo is the next Galactic Legend, Meathead deflected the specific guess but said "I do know the next one." He declined to give hints when asked again. Combined with his earlier comment that one person has already guessed correctly in past chat, the next GL identity is internally locked at CG.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes unveiled Cobb Vanth, a Light Side leader designed to unite Jawas, Tuskens, and Constables. His kit features unique abilities like 'High Noons' with an 'Execution' buff and 'The Marshal' unique that provides faction-specific benefits and punishes certain enemy types.

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.
