SWGOH news: raid

MeatheadMilitia stated that any shareable information regarding raids or other game updates will be posted on the official forums. This is the designated channel for official announcements, implying players should check there for future details.

Bug fixes cover Major Partagaz Unique wording, Armor Shred raid quest counting, URoRRuR'R'R Conquest string, Bounty Hunter quest, loaned portraits, Imperial Remnant enemy tagging, and an Emperor Palpatine datacron soft lock.

Colonel Ward is a Light Side Support unit for New Republic squads led by Captain Carson Teva. She inflicts debuffs, dispels Stealth, marks enemies, and triggers out-of-turn assists. Her Zeta plus Omicron unique punishes attacks on Support and Healer allies with Evasion Down, cooldown increases, On the Run stacks, and Expose.

The 5/13/2026 update adds Cinta, Vel, Kleya, KX Enforcer Droid, Dedra, and Major Partagaz to Shipments, makes Kleya farmable from Light Side 8-F Hard, and ships a long list of bug fixes centered on Major Partagaz's leader and unique abilities, plus assorted node, quest, and ability corrections.

Upcoming kit changes update Gungan Phalanx's Omicron to Territory Wars with reduced values, gate Ezra Bridger (Exile)'s power behind a full Spectre squad with a kit rework, give GL Ahsoka counterattack True damage and Blind immunity, and restrict Merrin's Omicron to matches without Galactic Legends. Relic and Omicron investments on affected units will be reset and refunded.

A May the 4th celebration includes daily rewards, a web store calendar, a large inbox gift with shards, omicrons, zetas, and credits. Special crystal deals, returning and new Lightspeed Bundles, and bonus drop events are also available. A packed schedule of Era Assaults and Assault Battles runs from May 4th to May 18th.

The 4-29-2026 update teases a new Coliseum boss, the Krayt Dragon, coming soon. New Feats of Daring Combatants are added for Andor, ISB, Darth Revan, and Luminara Unduli. Darth Vader (Duel's End) shards are now farmable from Dark Side Battles 9-F (Hard), and Disguised Clone Trooper joins the Accelerated Characters list. Several bug fixes and adjustments are included.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is receiving a major visual and functional refresh including updates to the Cantina interface, campaign restructuring with new battles and rewards, farming node adjustments, and economy changes. Several characters are also becoming farmable for the first time.

The May the 4th update introduces Cantina 2.0 with visual and content overhauls for Campaigns and Mods. Era system changes include increased levels, currency, and Relic conversion. Loaned Units will be added to Coliseum, and future updates will bring Overcharge, Era Arena, and a Training Mode replacing Squad Arena.

Meathead invited raid questions then declined essentially all of them. Release window: no. Character names: no. Whether the next raid arrives before 2028: TBD. Whether the planet is new to the game, and whether pre-announcement units like Bad Batch will be eligible: "I have no information to provide."

A hotfix will address an issue in Conquest where the Relic Level Delta was enabled without its intended Data Disk, which will now be added as a feat reward. It also corrects discrepancies in the Cassian Journey Guide, providing materials to level Dedra from 40 to 45 due to incorrect Tier 1 requirements.

A player asked if there is any ETA for the Signal Data raid store fix and what the correct reward amounts are supposed to be. MeatheadMilitia said he can poke folks but did not provide a timeline or the correct values.

MeatheadMilitia closed out the day by linking the official Cobb Vanth kit reveal on the EA forums SWGOH Game Info Hub. The link points to the standard kit reveal blog format used for new character announcements.

Today's SWGOH update makes IG-90 shards farmable from Cantina Battles 8-A. The update also addresses various character bugs, including issues with Stormtrooper Luke, IG-90, Krennic, Crosshair, Paploo, Satele, Maul (Hate-Fueled), Kleya, Corrupted Translation, Luthen, and Grand Master. Several description updates and Conquest-related fixes are also included.

Six new units are now available in Chromium Packs and Shipments, including Stormtrooper Luke and Darth Vader (Duel's End). Stormtrooper Luke is also farmable on Dark Side Battles 9-A, and Wrecker (Mercenary) has accelerated shard drops. Several bug fixes for abilities, raid mechanics, and Datacron effects were implemented.

This update adds News Hunter (Mercenary) to Accelerated Characters. It also fixes multiple bugs related to Lightspeed Tokens, GAC, Galactic Legend Hondo, Jedi Knight Revan, 4-LOM, Inquisitor Barriss, datacrons, Great Mothers, Temple Guard, Luthen, and various Protection Up effects. Additionally, Imperial Probe Droid and Director Krennic received significant kit adjustments.

Today's update includes the addition of Batcher to Accelerated Characters and compensation for Conquest issues. Bug fixes address Marrok's mod recommendations, Yoda and Chewie's foresight grant, Jedi Master Mace Windu's buff immunity, Asajj Ventress's naming consistency, Conquest environment loading, Maul (Hate-Fueled)'s size display, and Asajj Ventress (Dark Disciple)'s Retribution duration.

A Conquest issue causing a missing asset loop is being investigated. The problem stems from a missing background asset and does not occur consistently. A fix is expected in this week's update, and compensation will be discussed after the resolution.

This update makes Zuckuss, 4-LOM, and Rebel B-wing farmable. It also accelerates Maul (Fuel-Hatred) and Omega (Fugitive) and announces an Additive Drops Event. Several bugs were corrected, and Bastila Shan and Mission Vao received kit updates.
