SWGOH news: patch

The community milestone event focuses on "Troopers" and "Trooper adjacent" characters. Progress is tracked manually by the development team, with updates posted in the forums, not in-game. Initial updates are scheduled for Friday (day of release) afternoon/evening PT, followed by regular updates starting Monday.

The glitch causing the Naboo raid to end early is expected to resolve itself for any new raids started after the recent update. For raids initiated before the patch, the issue may persist, but the development team is actively monitoring the situation.

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.

This post provides answers to player questions about Captain Enoch and related units. It clarifies character synergies, ability mechanics such as Decay and Advantage, design choices like Enoch's critical chance reduction, and decisions regarding faction tags and Omicrons.

A fix has been deployed to address high RAM and CPU usage in the game. The team will monitor if this improves splash screen load times and overall hardware usage. Players experiencing improvements are asked to report them.

Regarding the alignment lock fix for L3 to L9, there is currently no new information available. The content creator was unable to provide any updates on the timeline or status of this bug fix, despite player reports of issues.

MeatheadMilitia plans to use 21,000 crystals for the Death Trooper (DTP) Conquest, aiming for significant progress. He has not yet started the attempt due to meetings, but will share the outcome later. Early indications from a team member suggest varied luck, with one person only getting 145 shards on their first pull.

The SWGOH development team is aware of and actively investigating an issue where background music or audio playing on a player's phone may conflict with or override the game's in-game music. This acknowledgment indicates efforts to resolve the audio conflict for players.

Today's SWGOH update introduces Death Trooper (Peridea), a Chompers Q/A, an updated August Calendar, UI changes for Android and iOS, and the Battle for Naboo Faction tag. Several Datacron bugs and a character name correction were also fixed.

A crash affecting a small number of iOS devices during the Battle for Naboo has been identified. This audio-related issue will be fixed in a future update. A temporary workaround is to disable in-game audio.

This Road Ahead details the upcoming Imperial Remnant faction, including Night Trooper, Death Trooper (Peridea), and Captain Enoch, who will be requirements for the new Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano. It also announces a new Nightsister squad featuring the Great Mothers (Aktropaw, Klothow, Lakesis) and Morgan Elsbeth, plus a new Conquest character, Ezra in Exile, who will be a Support unit. An update on the PC Open Beta release timing is also provided.

This post clarifies details about Luthen Rael's kit and mechanics in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. It addresses questions regarding his summoned units, ability targeting, interactions with Mon Mothma and Saw Gerrera teams, and Omicron abilities. It confirms description fixes and provides insights into design choices.

The Duel of Fates Assault Battle is scheduled to return on a monthly basis for the foreseeable future. A player survey was also mentioned.

This update introduces Luthen Rael, makes Captain Rex an accelerated character, and adds Padawan Obi-Wan to Chromium Packs. Gungan Phalanx shards are now farmable from Fleet Battles 4-D Hard, replacing Bad Batch Omega, which moves to Galactic War Shipments. A bug fix addresses Boss Nass's Shield Generator, and Mon Mothma's Field Promotion ability has been adjusted.

A major overhaul to the new player experience in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes will arrive with tomorrow's update. The changes aim to significantly speed up the progression from Level 1 to 85, providing new players with more ships for Fleet Arena and more complete, competitive teams by the time they unlock Grand Arena Championships. Existing players under Level 85, or those who reached Level 85 on or after May 22nd, will receive grants corresponding to the new rewards.

The Defense of Dathomir event will conclude as scheduled due to time zone differences preventing a timely fix for all players. Capital Games will re-run the event at or near its next scheduled release to compensate for missed rewards.

The Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes webstore received an update. It features a new look and is now available for players to access.

A hotfix was released for the Resistance Datacron addressing issues with multiple encounters. However, this fix revealed a new interaction issue with characters like Zorii Bliss, which will be resolved in the next update. Players should plan for this fix to apply to locked-in Datacrons during ongoing GAC and TW events.

A clarification was provided regarding Darth Bane's Unique ability Omicron text, specifically "These effects persist if Bane is defeated." This sentence only applies to benefits gained from the Omicron, not the entire Unique ability. The sentence will be removed in a future update, with no change to current kit mechanics.

The content creator has suggested to the development team that the name of the official SWGOH calendar on the EA website be changed. This is due to player confusion, as many interpret the "calendar" as indicating content updates rather than just a schedule of in-game events.
