SWGOH news: kit-reveal

Asked directly whether GL Mando is going to be a Galactic Legend, CG Meathead answered yes. He declined to say whether the character will be an attacker, saying he knew the answer but could not share it, and gave no timing for the kit reveal.

CG Meathead said the second round of Galactic Legend requirements will not be posted this week. Asked separately about a kit reveal, he said there will not be one this week either.

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

A new Conquest character kit will be posted today regardless of whether the accompanying artwork arrives in time. The plan was to wait an hour or two for the art, since it is described as good, but the kit drops either way before end of day.

MeatheadMilitia shared the official EA forums link to the Cobb Vanth kit reveal. The post on the SWGOH game info hub contains the full ability and stat breakdown for the upcoming character.

Asked whether he created the Cobb Vanth kit because the reveal post uses first-person language, MeatheadMilitia replied that the "I" in the reveal is the in-house designer speaking, not him. He confirms he was not the kit designer.

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.

MeatheadMilitia said traditional forum kit reveal posts for Cobb Vanth and Satele Shan are on hold pending art approval. He may consider posting dev insights and FAQs separately if art approval keeps dragging, but no commitment was made.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed the upcoming game update is on track to deploy on time. Contents will be disclosed after the patch goes out, not before. A push notification players received was tied to this same update.
