SWGOH news: kit-reveal

A new Omega (Fugitive) unit is announced for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, available via Marquee on January 14. This Light Side Support and Leader character introduces new Bad Batch squad mechanics including Captive and Rescue. Her kit focuses on timing and strategic ability use to maximize benefits.

Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano has been revealed as a Tank unit with a kit focused on extra turns, punishing enemies, and unique mechanics like Exile and Reunite. Her event will be permanent, and her abilities are detailed.

Meathead encouraged the community to create a puzzle to celebrate the upcoming GL Ahsoka kit reveal. He confirmed handing out 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place to designers, with Ahsoka's designer placing second. The discussion suggested an Ahsoka kit reveal is approaching.

General Syndulla Oblongata is revealed as a new Light Side Leader and Support unit, introducing the "Perfect Defense" buff. She is acquired via a Marquee event and is a Relic 5 requirement for GL Ahsoka. Chopper and Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum) will also receive the Spectre tag.

Rey (Dark Side Vision) is a new Dark Side Attacker, First Order, and Sith unit for Conquest, designed as a lifter for Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. Her kit focuses on multiple attacks, inflicting Fear, preventing First Order allies from being defeated in Grand Arenas, and includes mechanics related to Retaliate, Shock, and Turn Meter manipulation.

A new Light Side Attacker Droid, Huyang, is introduced as the first Marquee unit of The Era of Apprentices starting November 19, 2024. His kit focuses on buffing Jedi, Light Side Droid, and Spectre allies, with special synergies under a Spectre Galactic Legend leader and in Territory Battles. He can be used with 50R-T Droids or General Syndulla before acquiring GL Ahsoka.

The content creator confirmed that the Marchion Ro kit reveal is scheduled for today. This information was shared in response to a direct question from a community member, indicating that players should anticipate the new character's abilities to be detailed soon.

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.

A new character, Padawan Sabine Wren, is being introduced to Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. She is an Attacker and a prerequisite for Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano. Her kit features a new debuff called Off Balance and mechanics that interact with Force Connection stacks and Spectre allies.

The in-game kit for Baylan Skoll differs from his initial reveal. Specifically, the bonus gained when an enemy evades an attack has been changed, and a significant healing component for all mercenaries has been removed.

Baylan Skoll, a Dark Side Tank, Leader, Mercenary, and Unaligned Force User, is introduced as an Epic Confrontation character. His event begins on October 31st at 11 AM Pacific and requires Grand Admiral Thrawn, Great Mothers, Marrok, Morgan Elsbeth, and Shin Hati at Relic 7. His kit focuses on gaining and utilizing "Soldier of Fortune" stacks for himself and Mercenary allies, with specific abilities for Grand Arenas.

A user named kadar_le_poet created a complex puzzle that, when solved, reportedly reveals the kit for the character Baylan Skoll. The puzzle's solution involves taking the last letter of each line, decrypting it with a Beaufort Variant of a Vigenere cipher using "Lebrock" as the autokey, and then capitalizing it correctly to form a link. MeatheadMilitia reacted with surprise, stating, "I can't believe you puzzled the kit."

The content creator was actively putting together a kit reveal. This occurred late in the day, suggesting preparation for an upcoming character's ability set announcement.

The content creator confirmed there will be no game update this week, nor will there be a kit reveal post for the character Baylan. The puzzle from last Friday was the last content release, and players are expected to be recovering from that.

The Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes developer post reveals the abilities of the new ship, Punishing One. Key features include inflicting Deathmark, stealing Stealth, out-of-turn attacks, and bonuses when deployed with Bounty Hunter allies.

A new character is currently in development, with the content creator actively involved in design meetings. There is anticipation for the kit details, which are expected soon. The creator indicates confidence in the ongoing design direction.

MeatheadMilitia confirmed that the kit review meeting he attended has concluded and the information will be shared with the community next Monday. He clarified it was not about a Galactic Legend Thrawn, correcting a previous error from a designer.

Marrok, a new Dark Side Support character, is introduced, designed to synergize with both Mercenary and Inquisitorius factions. His kit incorporates Purge and Soldier of Fortune mechanics, offering benefits like Ability Block, Offense reduction, and Turn Meter manipulation. Marrok's Marquee event begins October 3rd, requiring Shin Hati for later tiers.

This post clarifies several aspects of Shin Hati's kit, including how her abilities stack, her intended squad synergies with Baylan and Marrok, and details about the Mercenary tag for existing characters. It also confirms Marrok will be an Inquisitor and Mercenary and explains cooldowns for Shin's abilities.

The Shin Hati unit is revealed, joining the new Mercenary faction. She is a Dark Side Attacker who ignores Taunt and utilizes the new Soldier of Fortune effect, a stacking blue status effect that enables additional ability effects at certain thresholds. Her Marquee event begins September 19th. She will be required at Relic 7 for Baylan Skoll but not for GL Ahsoka.
