SWGOH news: raid

CG Meathead confirmed a new raid is in active development. No details, no date. The announcement will come on the forums.

The Ronin, a Dark Side Sith Attacker from Star Wars: Visions, is revealed for the Era of Myths & Legends. He ramps single-target damage, summons droid R5-D56, and Siphons stats, built for Darth Jar Jar squads.

Yoda (Dark Side Vision) is revealed for Era of Myths & Legends: a Dark Side Sith Healer built around Siphon stacks, debuff transfer, and Dark Master's Training, with heavy Sith Gungan leader synergy and Territory Battle bonuses.

CG Meathead said the Myths & Legends concept is landing well, and that he's especially excited for one still-unrevealed character in the era.

GAC moves forward one day permanently for the Era rollover. Major Partagaz shards are now farmable from Light Side Battles 7-E (Hard), and Quiggold joins the Accelerated list. Fixes cover Grogu and the Anzellans' Basic tags plus description clarifications for Krayt Dragon and General Syndulla.

This backend update addressed several issues including a texture bug for the Krayt Dragon, a clarity update for Kleya's ability description, and a fix for Rotta the Hutt's Journey Guide event material rewards. It also corrected Dark Side Clone Troopers appearing in a specific Ki-Adi-Mundi mission.

Dedra Meero shards are now farmable from Dark Side Battles 8-E (Hard), and Captain Ithano is now accelerated. Leia (Jedi Training) had an ability multiplier fixed. Several bug fixes addressed omicron abilities, Satele Shan's Fearless, and Zeb Orrelios's special ability.

A question about Rotta Tier 2 not awarding MK7 materials for G13 prompted a response that the team would be checked to confirm whether the behavior is working as intended.

A new Conquest character kit will be posted today regardless of whether the accompanying artwork arrives in time. The plan was to wait an hour or two for the art, since it is described as good, but the kit drops either way before end of day.

Asked when the upcoming conquest unit's kit would be revealed, the answer was Friday at the earliest, with the exact timing dependent on internal approvals.

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.
