Hi Holotable Heroes, A brand new theme is coming to the Grand Arena Championship starting on Monday, March 2nd, a celebration of all things Smugglers. Smugglers have played an important part of the Star Wars saga all the way back to the cantina in A New Hope where Obi-Wan Kenobi enlisted the aid of Han Solo and Chewbacca to get to Alderaan, “No questions asked.” With that in mind here’s a few of the feats you can expect during the course of the Championship:

• I’m Putting Together a Crew - Gain Prepared 50 times in Grand Arena
• “Fast Enough for You, Old Man”, “We’re Home”, and “I Don’t Like It, I Don’t Agree with It, but I Accept It” - Three different feats involving using characters who were Pilots/Co-Pilots of the Millennium Falcon of that era (Rebellion, Resistance, and Solo)
• Three of a Kind - Field all three Millennium Falcons in a Fleet Arena battle and win
• I Never Thought I’d Be Smuggling Myself - Win a Grand Arena battle using four characters who hid in the smuggling compartment of ...

Hi Holotable Heroes, Today’s Server Update contains some minor server changes. There is nothing publicly changing with today's update. We will be rolling out the server update over the next hour.

Hi folks, We are continuing to monitor General Skywalker and we have observed some changes to match ups but no significant impact on the balance of this character. At the moment, we have no plans to revert or change his kit further. See you on the Holotables!

Hi folks, We are aware of the issue with Lando's Falcon not taking bonus turns if randomly called by Raddus' Holdo Manuever. We are currently investigating the cause and will let you know when we plan to deploy a fix.

Hello Holotable Heroes, Welcome to the State of the Galaxy for February - while this one is coming mid-month, the next installment should return us to a more regular schedule. A couple things we’d like to cover in this month’s State of the Galaxy:Galactic Legends Event Structure
We’ve got a few details we’d like to share about the new Galactic Legends Event Structure. We’ll bring these to you regularly as we continue to develop and refine the design. First off, this event will require a new kind of event ticket, which will be earned via existing game modes. These tickets will become earnable once a player has met the prerequisites and unlocked the event. We are still working out the specifics of where the tickets will be earned, but we expect players to be able to earn these tickets every day. Regarding squad configuration, players will only be able to assign one Galactic Legend per squad. While there are design considerations for this restriction, we also want to signify the clash bet...

Hi folks, We are investigating the change that caused General Skywalker to counter before he kneels and going into Cover. This appears to be tied to the bug fix that we released today that prevents freezes during the Sith Raid when he attacks out of turn. We will have an update for you tomorrow on this issue. -Crumb

Hi Holotable Heroes! Today’s update brings the new Resistance Capital Ship, the Raddus, to the holotables! Read on to find the full list of changes.

CHANGES

• Ki-Adi-Mundi's ability Adaptive Form is now immune to cooldown manipulation. Read more about this change here
• Places of Power is now scheduled for 2/28. This swaps with the Rebel Round up event, which is now moved to 2/24
• Some missions in phase 1 of the Geonosis Dark Side Territory Battle have been updated to include other Geonosis environments. Phase 4 of the Geonosis Light Side Territory Battle has also been updated to include additional Geonosis environments.
• There is a bug with the Chimaera missions in the Geonosis Light Side Territory Battle. We will be removing the Chimaera missions from the Territory Battle until we are able to fully resolve this issue. Players will only face Executrix in the interim.

Hi Holotable Heroes, Today we are breaking down the new Resistance Capital Ship, the Raddus! You can find the kit reveal in the Arena and Character Strategy section of the forums. Read on below to find out how this new ship handles on the holotables.The Basics:

• The Raddus is a new Resistance capital ship with Fleet Commander Amilyn Holdo in command.
• This capital ship is almost entirely in the supporting role as its abilities are focused on bolstering Resistance faction ships with Foresight and protection via the Deflector Shield ability.
• While the Raddus doesn’t deal any direct damage, it increases the survivability and offensive potential of Resistance ships considerably.

Unique Attributes:

• The Raddus has a very unique Ultimate ability that allows it to sacrifice itself to destroy the enemy capital ship!
• Destroying a capital ship (including your own) prevents most capital ship-related abilities such as Reinforcements but Unique ability effects will persist until the end of the battle....

Hi Holotable Heroes! With this update we have made a change to how we are dealing with “Adaptive Form”, the lightsaber form switching ability that Ki-Adi-Mundi has in his kit. As we mentioned here, under certain conditions, it was possible to get him to reduce the cooldown on the ability so that he would be able to switch forms infinitely, using the granted bonus turn to change forms again. These types of interactions are ones we try to avoid on all characters. As of this update, Ki-Adi-Mundi’s Special Ability “Adaptive Form” is immune to all forms of Cooldown manipulation. This means that it can’t be reduced nor can it be increased, and will always be a 2 turn cooldown. This change carries the additional benefit of it not being able to have its cooldown increased as well. Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes! An update to our Fleet Mastery event is launching this week, Admiral's Maneuver - Advanced Fleet Mastery to unlock the new resistance Capital Ship, The Raddus. Advanced Fleet Mastery will require specific units from a variety of different eras of the Star Wars timeline to complete the event and the enemies you will face will also be mixed and matched from different eras. Both upcoming Capital Ships, Raddus and Finalizer, will be earned through this type of event. You will first complete 4 tiers (4*,5*,6*,7* ships and any 4*,5*,6*,7* Capital Ship are required respectively) and unlock the featured Capital Ship at 4-Stars. Once those tiers are completed, you will unlock a repeatable event that rewards 10 Blueprints for each successful completion to finish upgrading your Capital Ship. Advanced Fleet Mastery will run 1-2 times per month, though this frequency may be adjusted as we release more units through this type of event.Raddus Required Units:

• Rey's Millennium Falc...

Hi Holotable Heroes, Today’s Server Update contains some minor server changes and preparations for today's content release. There is nothing publicly changing with today's update. We will be rolling out the server update over the next hour. Once complete, we will notify you in this thread.

Hi Holotable Heroes, Our introduction to Galactic Legends described their ability to manipulate the Mastery stat. Mastery was introduced with Relics but we would like to dive into a little more detail about what this means for these characters. Mastery has a base value of 0 for most units. Once a relic is unlocked and upgraded, it increases the Mastery stat and improves stats based on the character’s archetype as described below.

Mastery can also be manipulated negatively in which case it negatively impacts the character’s associated stats if possible. For example, although health is on this list and can be negatively manipulated through Mastery, this manipulation can’t directly defeat a character by reducing their health below 1. That’s all we have for now but we are very excited to keep introducing you to Galactic Legends. Stay tuned for more and see you on the Holotables! Read more

Update: Hi Holotable Heroes, We've identified the players affected and will begin providing them with a Make Good for the outage issue from 01/24/2020. The compensation will include the following: 1500 crystals, 1500 GET 1, 1500 GET 2, 5 zeta materials. Thank you for your patience.Original Message:

We’ve been monitoring the recent release (1/26) and it appears that all players that were previously unable to load the game can now re-enter. We’re in the process of identifying those accounts specifically and determining next steps of a make good for those players. This process requires some research and analysis on our part, so please bear with us as we complete our due diligence. Thank you everyone for your patience as we worked through the issue.

CHANGESGalactic Legends Journey Guide Placeholder Icons NOTE: The number of placeholder units needed for Galactic Legends (question mark "?" icons) in the summary tab has been adjusted to reflect the actual number of units that will be needed (13 actual, versus the 17 currently displayed).

CHANGES
Assault Battle Challenge Tiers
The next phase of the assault has begun! Two Assault Battles, Forest Moon and Places of Power, are the first to receive additional tiers and bring a whole new level of challenge to the holotables. Deploy your best squads to battle with increasingly tough encounters and earn more rewards the higher you can climb.
NOTE: Today's update contains the additional Challenge tiers for Assault Battles: Forest Moon and Places of Power. Unfortunately, after reviewing the events over the last few days we discovered a bug in Places of Power that will result in a delay. We will be swapping the next Places of Power event with Forest Moon. Rewards and requirements will remain the same and the first event with these Challenges is Forest Moon on Jan 30th.

Hi Holotable Heroes, We are excited to announce the Artist of War Mythic Event will be returning to Galaxy of Heroes this weekend, running from 02/08/20 to 02/09/20. Expect more Mythic Events to arrive in the future! See you on the Holotables!

Hello Holotable Heroes, Several bugs are being added to the bug tracker as they impact the balance of our Territory Battle events.

• There is a bug with Chimaera in the Republic Offensive LSTB that is causing it to not gain any of its intended stats above the base-level, resulting in an under-powered unit.
• In the Reek mission in the Republic Offensive LSTB, there is a bug involving Jango Fett that results in enemies taking damage from Jango Fett’s Burning, despite Burning not having been applied.
• The Vulture Droid in the Republic Offensive LSTB has a bug that will cause it to summon another Vulture Droid on death, even if the allied Capital Ship isn't from the Separatist faction.
• Vulture Droid's Unique ability text does not correctly reflect the in-game functionality of the unit's assist cap.

We are currently planning to remove the Chimaera missions from the Geonosis Light Side Territory Battle until we have resolved the issue with the Chimaera’s stats. The Chimaera is not registering an... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes, As we experience the Grand Arena Championships on a regular schedule now, with a variety of changing feats, we recognize that there is some confusion about why some units are not being credited with a defeat in a few edge-case scenarios. Here are the situations where the character-in-question will not get credited with a defeat:

• The character-in-question assists, but the target was already defeated before that character is called to assist (we just keep the defeated unit there until all the assists play out). Note: if the character-in-question is the one to inflict the final damage, you will get feat credit.
• The character-in-question puts a DOT or other damage-not-on-their-turn effect onto the target. If the target dies due to damage at the start of their turn, no feat credit is generated for the character who originally put them into that state.
• The target defeats themself instead, due to how our system works. This includes Fives, Magnaguard, and most especially B...
