Galactic War Report

Two new Empire characters threaten to break the hold that Wiggs has held on the Arena for months.  Will their arrival be enough?  Plus, Kylo Ren gets a rework and what is even happening to our meta?

With the recent announcement of Deathtrooper and Director Krennic, there’s never been a better time to be an Imperial! We talk about the upcoming Assault Battle Ground War, where we’ll be taking those characters for a spin soon. Plus, Barriss got fixed (again), and Boba reigns supreme in the Meta!

Still picking up momentum after a holiday break at CG, Galaxy of Heroes didn’t have any new content this week.  There were really no changes in the meta either, so we took the opportunity to talk about a character we’ve wanted to discuss for a while: Jedi Master Plo Koon.

We’ve been saying the end of an era was upon us for some time and we’re finally starting to see the effects of a change in the meta.  Zeta ability materials are NOT easy to come by (thank goodness!), but we’re here to give you the info you need to get your Zeta farm up and running and to help you understand why farming them is so crucial to your long-term success.  We also talk about the integrity of tournaments, as more and more flags are being raised regarding possible hacks.  Then we cover the rising tide of Commander Cody and his clone battalion.  You want to see a Zeta ability that’ll wow you?  Take a look at this guy!

With the return of Droids Fight Back and Military Might, we thought it prudent to talk a bit about these fan-favorite events.  We chat about the new Chaze meta and pose the question: If Anakin, Ahsoka, and Boba Fett can have reworks, who’s next?  Or more accurately, who should be next?

With the recent rework of Finn and Poe and the utter dominance of Chirrut and Baze, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at synergies- where they are now, and where they might go.  Plus, the Meta has shifted!  Seriously, it changed!  We celebrate the shakeup and sort through the myriad events on the agenda for the next month.

With the impending return of the Emperor’s Demise event in which players will finally have a second shot at unlocking Emperor Palpatine, we thought it wise to take a look at some of the staple rebels people may be considering for the event.  Plus new MOD CARDS for some of the more popular Rebel characters!

Jyn Erso is finally coming to Galaxy of Heroes! She’ll be in the next Character Tournament: Hero of the Rebellion and she looks to be an amazing addition to any Rebel squad.  We analyze her abilities and offer a quick look at the new K-2SO as well.  MOD CARDS were a huge hit last week and we’re thrilled to introduce the second set: The Best Frickin’ Pilots in the Galaxy!

With an entirely new game mode introduced, a lot of us are taking a second look at some characters that had been gathering dust on our rosters for months.  Enter First Order TIE Pilot.  Once a Meta Attacker, this flyboy has been gathering dust on more than a few rosters since the introduction of protection.  We look at this unlikely hero as well as compare Fleet Commanders and talk about how each one works ideally.  Let us help you shape up your fleet!

We’re thrilled to introduce MOD CARDS, our latest project aimed at helping players quickly identify the path to properly modding their characters.  This week: FOTP, Resistance Pilot, and Plo Koon with more to come!  Head on over to our site to download them today!

Ladies and Gentlemen: Ships

After being teased for months, Ships have officially launched in Galaxy of Heroes and we couldn’t be happier.  With little more than a day of playtime under our belts, we felt it unwise to speculate too deeply on which ships will end up being best, but rather give our first impressions and a few predictions.  We also talk about some of the new abilities available with the new zeta ability materials and cover some reworked characters and abilities.  Paging Mr. Fett?
