Galaxy of Heroes

Here is the read ahead for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heries for October 2021. Sorry we are a bit late with this, but it is still worth a read: 3s6u

In this Road Ahead we are going to cover a number of changes for Galaxy of Heroes over the next several months. Our next Title Update is almost here (rolling out video below for an overview or read on for the details!

UPDATE ON THE GEAR CHANGES
This week’s soon and are part of this week’s update!

Daily Quest Changes
Your Daily Quest to drop one of the following Gear items with an equal probability:

  • Mk 5 A/KT Stun Gun Prototype Salvage
  • Mk 3 Carbanti Sensor Array Salvage
  • Mk 3 Czerka Stun Cuffs Salvage

Weekly Gear Challenges

The second change in this Title Update to Gear comes from the three weekly Gear Challenges that occur 3 times per week. TAC needed a bit more love than the others so it has 2 items:
TAC GEAR CHALLENGE:

  • Mk 5 A/KT Stun Gun Salvage
  • Mk 8 Biotech Implant Component

AGI GEAR CHALLENGE:

  • Mk 3 Czerka Stun Cuff Salvage

STR GEAR CHALLENGE:

  • Mk 5 Arakyd Droid Caller Salvage

Galactic Challenge Rewards
Prize boxes below the max reward will be increased in all Galactic Challenges moving forward. The max rewards remain approximately the same, but the ramp up of rewards to those max rewards will be less steep in order to boost rewards for newer and mid-level players.

What’s Next For Phase 1
While this week’s Title Update starts the process of the Gear Changes, we still have many more adjustments to come. In Phase 1 we still have near future.

New Feature: Special Calendars
One of the first things you will notice with this Title Update is a change to Calendars can be free or purchasable and may coincide with special occasions or monthly themes.

Just like the current Calendar, you can start collecting rewards from the beginning regardless of what day you start but you will need to collect all the rewards before the expiration date. Some Calendars will have a tighter timetable to receive all of the rewards (Like the monthly calendar), while others will be more flexible. You can activate multiple at a time and gather rewards from each calendar every day.

Don’t forget to each day to collect your rewards!

Mode Specific Characters and Abilities
The next Title Update marks the release of the first character with Mode Specific next level in a specific mode. This new type of ability tier will require a unique material called, Omicrons.

Omicrons add utility to characters in specific Galactic Legends in their specific mode. The Omicron tier will be above the unit’s Zeta tier ability (if a Zeta is present).

Omicrons are available primarily as rewards from Galactic Challenges, but a build up a library of characters with mode specific abilities

While many characters will have mode specific abilities, existing characters will also be reworked in Abilities over the next several updates. (Approximately 2 per update after this Title Update):

  • Rose Tico
  • Captain Phasma
  • Rebel Officer Leia Organa
  • Darth Sidious
  • Qui-Gon Jinn
  • Zam Wesell
  • Chief Chirpa
  • Chief Nebit
  • Imperial Probe Droid
  • Hera Syndulla

We chose these characters because they were either used to unlock a Galactic Legend and had less utility in the game than the other required units or belong to an underused faction.

Conquest 10
Conquest 10 is coming to Bounty Hunters, along with new Data Disks and consumables to spice up the experience.

Boba Fett and his quarry. Check out his kit and the Developer Insights for more information.

With Boba Fett, Scion of Jango as the newest Conquest prize, Maul will followed the Conquest character cadence as Commander Ahsoka Tano:

  • Shards reduced in End-of-Event prizes; Normal Rank 2 prize now contains 5 shards.
  • Conquest Currency cost reduced from 105 to 95 per shard
  • Shards added to Wandering Scavengers in Sector Normal-4
  • Crystal purchases added to Wandering Scavengers

Commander Ahsoka Tano will follow Razorcrest and is no longer in End of Event prizing

At the other end of the spectrum in time but can only enter it at the start of each map.

Conquest includes an additional reward track containing even more rewards. These rewards include a small number of shards of the Conquest character to help catch players up if they miss a few along their journey or for players who want to use some of their Conquest Currency elsewhere. (Note that this will not allow players to unlock the unique Conquest unit before 3 runs of Conquest)

The Conquest + provides the same bonus reward track as the regular Conquest but also includes other benefits that will help you master this Conquest:

  • Bonuses to Stamina recharge rates
  • Bonuses to Conquest Energy recharge rates
  • Free swapping of Data Disks

In addition to these changes, we have made several map’s configuration will shift to having more Combat Nodes overall and less of an emphasis on Feats.

Ready to take on the galaxy? Conquest 10 begins November 1st!

Galaxy of Heroes Turns 6 Years Old!
And last but certainly not least, we will be celebrating 6 years of Galaxy of Heroes on days of double drops on various parts of the Cantina and a free calendar with even more Gear, shards and other resources.
