SWGOH news: kit-reveal

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.

The developer addressed player questions about the Great Mothers unit. Key clarifications include that the Great Mothers do not reduce Max Health of Galactic Legends or Raid Bosses, their Omicron abilities are for Territory Wars, and Nightsister Zombie can still revive. The post also detailed interactions with Doomed and Blessed mechanics, team composition, and confirmed the unit counts as one for undersized squads.

Great Mothers are an Elite marquee Dark Side Support Leader unit, available starting September 5th via a new Marquee structure. They introduce the unique combat effects Doomed for enemies and Blessed for allies. Great Mothers are a large unit, similar to Jabba the Hutt, and will be required for Baylan Skoll at Relic 7.

Ezra Bridger (Exile) is a new Light Side Jedi, Spectre, Support unit designed as a Conquest Lifter for Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano. His kit introduces the Exile debuff and the Spectre tag, focusing on critical hits as utility, defensive and offensive bonuses for allies, and a new status effect called Purrgil Migration. He will be available through Conquests starting September 2nd.

The content creator anticipates the kit reveal for a new character on Monday. This information was shared in response to a direct question about when kit details would become available to the community.

MeatheadMilitia indicated that new kit reveal infographics are in the works and that he is personally contributing to them. He also noted that he has no current information on when the gifting store will be available on the PC client but is relaying the question to the relevant team.

Today's update includes the reveal of Captain Enoch's kit. Health recovery for enemies in Tiers 0 and 1 of the Battle for Naboo Raid has been reduced. Captain Drogan and Scout Trooper are now Accelerated, and Morgan Elsbeth is available in Chromium Packs and Shipments. Several bugs related to the Naboo Raid, Morgan Elsbeth, Datacrons, and Conquest environments have been fixed.

Captain Enoch is a new Dark Side Support and Imperial Remnant Leader unit. His kit introduces the "Decay" effect, which provides resilience to Imperial Remnant allies at a cost by reducing their maximum recoverable Health. He is a Relic 7 requirement for Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano and will be available via a Marquee event starting August 15th.

This post clarifies mechanics for the Gungan Boomadier, including its single-target Special 1, the persistence of stacking offense through defeat, and requirements for its event. It also addresses event rerun rewards and modding strategy, confirming the Boomadier's optimal use within a Gungan squad.

The content creator acknowledged a user's praise for the "god tier animation" of new characters and stated they would relay this positive feedback to the development team. This suggests a positive reception for recent character design efforts.

Death Trooper (Peridea) is a new Dark Side Attacker. He applies the Blight debuff and utilizes a new execute mechanic tied to his Just a Little Nibble ability. He has an Omicron ability for Territory Wars that enhances his damage and Blight spreading. He will be a Marquee unit starting August 1st and is required at Relic 7 for GL Ahsoka.

The content creator mentioned they were "putting a kit together," indicating work on new game content. However, they clarified that they had no immediate updates to share regarding this kit and were monitoring for when information becomes available.

MeatheadMilitia stated that the next Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes kit reveal is scheduled for the upcoming Monday. He did not provide further details regarding the character or specific timing of the reveal.

When asked about the expected power level of the new Enoch-lead Imperial Remnant team, the creator stated they have limited information and cannot provide specifics at this time, unlike the Great Mothers team's comparison to Gungans.
