A player proposed a "previous raid score sim" feature to address the time commitment required for end-game players. The suggestion involves simming previous raid scores, with the option to manually run raids again to achieve and then sim new, higher scores after upgrading teams. The content creator indicated he would include this suggestion in his next report.

Death Trooper (Peridea) is a new Dark Side Attacker. He applies the Blight debuff and utilizes a new execute mechanic tied to his Just a Little Nibble ability. He has an Omicron ability for Territory Wars that enhances his damage and Blight spreading. He will be a Marquee unit starting August 1st and is required at Relic 7 for GL Ahsoka.

Capital Games is aware of an issue where B1 Battle Droid is gaining unlimited stacks of Droid Battalion in the Battle for Naboo Raid. The team is investigating this behavior.

The content creator indicated he has no information on how long the investigation into low-level raid issues will last. He responded to a player's query comparing it to the B2 investigation, suggesting he cannot anticipate the duration.

The content creator forwarded a player's question to the development team regarding the timing of the next SWGOH raid. Players were previously told to expect an 8-9 month life cycle for new raids starting with Endor. The creator could not provide an immediate answer.

Capital Games is investigating player reports regarding difficulty experienced in the early tiers of the Battle for Naboo Raid. The team will look into these issues to determine their cause.

In response to a question about reducing 'chores' in the game, the developer did not confirm or deny potential future sims for Conquest Mode battles in Rise of the Republic, stating only that the team discusses the Naboo Raid and data.

The developer acknowledges player feedback regarding the Naboo Raid's high screen time requirements and tediousness compared to the previous Endor Raid.

The investigation into a potential issue with the B2 Super Battle Droid's lead ability in the raid has concluded. Content creator MeatheadMilitia linked to an official forum post, confirming that Capital Games has decided against making any changes, determining that the ability is working as intended.

Capital Games investigated B2 Super Battle Droid's performance as a leader in Battle for Naboo. They found the current data acceptable and will not make any adjustments at this time, though monitoring will continue.

This update introduces Morgan Elsbeth's kit and makes Master Qui-Gon's shards farmable. It also includes several bug fixes, affecting raid mechanics, character abilities, and text descriptions across various units and game modes.

The content creator MeatheadMilitia, with a GP near 8 million, indicated that his Gungan team accounts for approximately 90% of his 2 million raid score. He mentioned investing heavily in Gungans, which allowed him to double the score of a guildmate with similar GP.

For players encountering bugs with the new Battle for Naboo content, the creator encourages reporting them on the official forums in addition to the standard Answers HQ portal.

MeatheadMilitia clarified that if a guild starts a raid before a game update goes live, the raid's progress and state are snapshotted at that point. This means any changes introduced in the update would not affect an already active raid.

MeatheadMilitia expressed a positive personal opinion on the new raid, stating it is fun and the rewards are "fine." He based his assessment on the characters he would be using to assist his guild. He also noted that, in his view, the new raid is harder than the speeder bike raid.
