DOUBLE DROPS ON PHOENIX NODES
Begins June 8th 9th and 10th
Rejoice! The Phoenix Squadron has landed in the Cantina! Your favorite Rebels are now available in the following areas listed below. Accelerate your Squad's rise to power by joining us in Double Drops celebration! With the promise of the Empire rising to overthrow the threat of the Rebellion, if you haven’t already added these Star Wars Rebel characters to your squad, now’s the time!
- Chopper - Cantina Store
- Ezra - Cantina 2-B, Fleet Store
- Hera - Cantina 1-F
- Kanan - PvP Store
- Sabine - Dark Side Hard 1-A, Guild Store
- Zeb - Galactic War Store
SHARD SHOP SHUFFLE
For a limited time, the Phoenix Squadron make their appearance in the Shard Shop! Please see below for a breakdown of Shards that’re being rotated out and in.
INOUT
- Chopper
- Ezra Bridger
- Hera Syndulla
- Kanan Jarrus
- Sabine Wren
- Garazeb Orrelios
RISE UP! FLASH EVENT
- Nihilus
- Sith Trooper
- Sith Assassin
It's time to rise up in the Phoenix Squadron Flash Event! Much like the Trouble on Tattooine event, Flash Events only last one to four hours in each instance and repeat several times a day, so be sure to catch them when they launch! Earn gear and power up your Phoenix Squadron as you embark on a mission to Lothal to deal a blow to the Empires carefully laid plans. But be warned, this Rebel show of force has not gone unnoticed. It's imperative that your squadron engage in this mission and arise victorious. A looming threat is beginning to close in, keen to ensure that the Rebellion become the architects of their own demise.
The first of this Flash event series fires off June 9th, so get ready!
PHOENIX SQUADRON FACTION PACK
Level up your Phoenix Squadron with the Phoenix Squadron Faction Pack! Each pack awards a Character card containing Character Shards for one of the many Phoenix Squadron Characters.
PHOENIX SQUADRON ULTIMATE BUNDLE
The Empire has revealed their hand, and with the Artist of War at the helm, The Phoenix Squadron is our only hope. Power up your team and take a stand! This bundle will unlock each of the 6 Phoenix Squadron characters at 3-Stars or level them up further if you participated in the Phoenix Squadron events.
Bundle includes 6 total characters!
- Chopper
- Ezra Bridger
- Garazeb Orrelios
- Hera Syndulla
- Kanan Jarrus
- Sabine Wren
BUGS
- Fixed a bug where Tarkin's debuffs from Intimidation Tactics can be dispelled by friendly units.
- Fixed guild chat spam caused by the increase of mod drop rates
- Fixed a bug where Ahsoka Fulcrum would take less damage than intended from debuffs if there were more than 10 on her in a single turn.

Hello Holotable Heroes!
Welcome back to another edition of the SotG. In this installment we’re going to cover our most recent character announcement and how we are adjusting the Character Release Cadence for it.
Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Phoenix Squadron
Grand Admiral Thrawn has arrived in Galaxy of Heroes! In the coming days you’re going to enjoy some videos of his very powerful kit that enables masterful strategies. During Star Wars Celebration we teased we would be releasing two fan favorites. R2-D2 was the first, and Grand Admiral Thrawn is the second, closing out the series of Empire reworks and releases. We can’t express enough how excited we are to bring the nefarious and calculating Chiss admiral to the game and hope you love him as much as we do.
Grand Admiral Thrawn has an interesting history in Star Wars. Originally a part of the incredible Timothy Zahn trilogy, he has now returned to Star Wars in the Rebels series and a new Zahn book. Given Thrawn’s association with the Phoenix Squadron, we have opted for them to be the faction required to obtain Thrawn in our brand new Legendary event, The Artist of War.
With the recent addition of Phoenix to the game and their previous lack of obtainable locations on the board, we’ve done a few things to ease the inflow of shards for these characters.
- We are breaking the Character Release Cadence and adding the Phoenix Squadron to the Cantina earlier than we normally would (by about two weeks).
- There will be a three day window where there are double drops on the nodes associated with the new Phoenix characters (6/8 – 6/10).
- We’re offering flash events that have Phoenix requirements which should help you gear up your Phoenix members in preparation to take on Grand Admiral Thrawn.
- Packs and bundles will be featured in the Store to accelerate player’s progress in obtaining these characters.
Generally, if we think we’re going to need the break the Character Release Cadence for a good reason, we’ll let you know. Otherwise, best of luck to all our Holotable Heroes as you prepare to face the Artist of War.

First and foremost I love this game, its amazing and it is the only phone game I play. One of my main complaints though is the "SURPRISE! YOU NEED FARMBOY LUKE!" I dont like surprises like that, yes we got 50 shards (THANK YOU!), but needing him at 6* to complete the last tier was not fun, I do not like scrambling, and I am sure a lot of others feel the same. Thank you for giving us the first 3 tiers with pre-gen characters; although I for one had my Jawa's pretty boss, there are many in my guild who did not, and benefited greatly from the pre-gen ability to perform the first three tiers of the event.
I would love first and foremost information pertaining to the new events on the official forums. Yes, some are listed (what they are and the time they are going to show up; thank you again); but listing what you will need so we can prepare, instead of scrambling to get them.
Second, Id like in game; in depth views on the events. The two events coming up (I've beat them several times, not a big deal); but those along with other events, if you could drill in like you can the Daily Challenges, and see the different tiers, rewards, and requirements it would vastly improve our quality of life.
I also realize that part of the "Scramble" is to get people to spend crystals (It worked...); but we were going to do that anyway; and instead of getting characters we wanted those of us who didn't have farm boy luke had to scramble if we wanted to get him in time for the event.
@Khayman p3 is the soul crusher once you get through that you're ready to go.

Not many complaints about HAAT anymore cause everyone has pretty much excepted the way it is, and have moved on to other things to complain about. Like gear crunch, credit crunch, not enough ship content, no Jedi Luke yet, ECT ECT ECT
@chazeareopandifinishhighnow
We're getting there and only after that will we even think about moving to HAAT. I mean I think everybody currently is focusing more on Arena too at the moment and raids are just sort of a gear farming method.
His skills should keep him worth having for a long time. I would imagine he's Rex-like in his longevity.
I've not been around that much, how long was Han Solo viable from the pit raid?
