A critical issue affecting Omega and Darth Vader with a Cron modifier is currently under investigation by the development team. This interaction is causing an unbeatable state for players. A hotfix is being prepared for release either by the end of today or early tomorrow.

This update addresses several character availability changes, bug fixes, and text corrections. Key changes include making News Chewie and Yoda available on December 16th, moving Rogue One blueprints to Light Side Battles 7-B, and correcting ability descriptions for Ezra Exile and Galactic Legend Ahsoka Tano. A rerun of Knightfall is also scheduled.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes will provide compensation to players level 20 and above for recent issues impacting the 10-year anniversary and Coliseum launch. Players must log in between December 10, 2025, and January 1, 2026, to receive the package.

A hotfix addresses an issue where the Rebel LST was not targeting Lobot. This issue also affects other specific Rebel and Jedi characters, and a fix is being developed for these units.

The Anniversary Datacron set has incorrect gear level requirements. The intended requirements for the 3/6/9 affixes were G10/12/R1, but they are currently set to R1/3/5. A fix is targeted for December 10, and it will only apply to new Datacrons.

This update makes 4-LOM available in Chromium Packs and Shipments. General Syndulla has been added to Accelerated Characters. Bug fixes address Brutus's damage, Tenacity Up from General Syndulla, and resistible effects for Malgus and Raddus. Coliseum calculations and descriptions have also been adjusted.

New feats are being added to the Era Challenge. These feats will provide Era Shipment Currency for completing the tier with Stormtrooper Luke. Players will be able to reattempt the challenge to earn these rewards.

This update addresses several issues including Commander Luke Skywalker's Journey Quest, Coliseum Leaderboard payouts, and the ship tutorial. It also adjusts Relic Amplifier levels for loaned units and enemies in various Journey Guide events, notably for Ahsoka Tano and Hondo Ohnaka.

An issue preventing players from receiving daily Coliseum rewards was identified. A fix is planned for the next update. Until then, players should claim daily rewards via Leaderboards before attempting the next day's boss.

The team is aware of players experiencing lag and hitching. An investigation found the fix to be larger than expected, and a solution is targeted for early next week.

The development team is aware of issues that arose with today's update and is actively investigating solutions. They apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve them as soon as possible.

The developers clarify details about the new Era system in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. They address how new characters will be acquired and geared, the obtainability of Era materials, and the costs associated with Relic Amplifier Level 10. They also touched on the usability of faction-specific LSTs and the future of existing game modes.
