Relic Delta is an upcoming system designed to address vertical progression in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. It modifies damage based on the relic level difference between characters. The system will be applied to all relic levels and aims to reward investment, protect new content, and speed up older content. Relic 10 will also be introduced with new Signal Data.

The developers are investigating the balance between the Profundity and Leviathan capital ships. They acknowledge Profundity's rise over Executor and the intended continued superiority of Leviathan. Future adjustments to Profundity and/or Leviathan may occur to align with the intended meta, but no hotfix is planned for this issue currently.
