[Developer Insight - Kit Reveal] Hi Holotable Heroes, Today we have one of the most exciting new characters in Galaxy of Heroes, the Mandalorian! This mysterious man of few words works as a Bounty Hunter at the far edge of the galaxy. No one really knows where he came from or how he's so well-equipped for battle but few question his ability to bring in a target. Whether taking a Swift Shot with his blaster pistol or readying his Amban sniper rifle to instantly disintegrate his enemy, the Mandalorian is always prepared to take on whatever gets in his way.The Basics:

• The Mandalorian is a Bounty Hunter Leader but part of the Light side alignment
• He is primarily a critical damage focused Attacker with the potential to defeat enemies in a single blow
• The second Light Side Bounty Hunter after Greef Karga
• The Mandalorian starts battle with Bounty Hunter’s Resolve but does not have the ability to regain it
• The Unique, Disciplined Bounty Hunter, can provide turn meter to the whole Bounty Hunte...

[Developer Insight - Kit Reveal] Hi Holotable Heroes, Today we are taking a deeper look at Cara Dune, a veteran Rebel Shock Trooper who has reinvented herself as a mercenary since leaving military life behind. This tough, no-nonsense brawler hasn’t forgotten how to fight an enemy like the Empire and can be difficult to take down in battle. While Cara can find a place as a deadly ambusher on a Scoundrel squad, she’s equally at-home under a Rebel leader, defending her allies as a front-line combatant.The Basics:

• Cara Dune has both the Rebel and a Scoundrel tags which makes her a strong choice to include in many squads
• Her kit is primarily based on her history as a Rebel with a mix of existing Rebel abilities but with some new twists that make her a unique character to play with

Unique Attributes:

• Her abilities and role in a squad vary depending on which lead she is under: Cara Taunts and can act as a tank for Rebel squads but a damage dealer under a Scoundrel lead
• The additional damage ...

[Developer Insight - Kit Reveal] Hi Holotable Heroes, Today we are taking a deeper look at Greef Karga, a notorious scoundrel and the go-to-guy for connecting Bounty Hunters with clients on Nevarro. Greef is always trying to spot the most lucrative solution to whatever predicament he finds himself in, and his abilities reflect this. He prefers to hang back while other Bounty Hunters work to achieve their Payouts and he supports the squad with mass assist calls and frequent recovery of Health and Protection.The Basics:

• Greef Karga is a Support Bounty Hunter that provides recovery, assists, and dispels
• He interacts with units that are activating Bounty Hunter Payouts and gains bonuses to many of his abilities when Payouts are active.
• This character plays a support role in this faction, which makes him the last piece of puzzle in an all encompassing Bounty Hunter squad
• His kit only has one damaging attack, his Basic, but his powerful utility makes him an important unit to keep alive duri...

Hi Holotable Heroes, Last week we became aware of a loophole with Galactic Legends that causes Rey and Kylo to prioritize attacking an invulnerable character repeatedly. This normally cannot occur but there is a special case when General Skywalker is paired with Wat Tambor and Fives that causes the Galactic Legends to behave unexpectedly. We are aiming to deploy a fix to prevent this behavior on 4/23 and this change will be in effect for the next Territory War (NOTE: AI is not impacted by roster lock). This update will not impact the abilities of any of these characters and their kits will not be altered. Thank you for understanding. Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes, We were just made aware of some possibly unintended interactions around Galactic Legends AI. We need some time to dive into this issue and investigate. We will let you know early next week when we have reviewed the data if or what changes we plan to make to address this. Thank you for your patience and have a good weekend.

Hi Holotable Heroes, We’ve been watching the data on Galactic Legends and observed some players struggling with completing Tier 6 of Supreme Leader Kylo Ren’s event. We will be adding the following hint to the tier: Increase Supreme Leader Kylo Ren’s Mastery in order to overwhelm his opponents. The granted ability, That’s An Order, can be used to provide him with additional turns and prevent him from being defeated for a short time. Most players are using squads with the right amount of power but possibly a weaker combination of characters than we expected. We also suggest experimenting with team compositions that can funnel Kylo extra turns and protect him while he ramps Mastery. We hope these hints help you complete your journey to Galactic Legends and we will continue to closely review the data around win rates and team compositions. See you on the Holotables! Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes, Today we are are excited to announce and launch the Player Early Evaluation Test program. Similar to the Beta program we had previously, it provides players an early look at the development process and a chance to provide feedback directly to the team. Initially this will be a very small group of players but plan to grow this into a wider program that many more players can get their hands on. There will be several waves of invites over the next few weeks and as we continue to expand the program in the coming months.

Hi Holotable Heroes, Today’s Update brings a new type of character to the Holotables, Galactic Legends! Supreme Leader Kylo Ren and Rey are the first Galactic Legends and are some of the most powerful units in Galaxy of Heroes. Each Galactic Legend has a unique Ultimate ability that charges over the course of a battle, such as Rey's Heir to the Jedi or Kylo's Depths of Rage. These powerful abilities can aid a variety of different squads with incredible bonuses to turn the tide of battle. Want to get started on either Rey or Supreme Leader Kylo Ren? Find all the requirements for either character in the Journey Guide. These events are available permanently once you qualify for them; you can start unlocking these new characters whenever you are ready.
