Dear CG: Bring KOTOR2 to SWGOH
Dear CG: Bring KOTOR2 to SWGOH
Starkiller was a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. While originally indifferent, after some serious thought I believe he was the greatest addition Capital Games made in 2021. Despite the fact that it was an end-of-quarter cash grab, it opened up a whole new avenue for SWGOH players to hope for.
Officially, the bulk of content created under the Star Wars umbrella was deemed non-canon by…
5 Places We Don’t Want Omicrons
5 Places We Don’t Want Omicrons
Omicrons have dramatically changed how we play Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. The few select characters who have been imbued with such tide-altering power are ritualistically checked during each Grand Arena and Territory War-especially considering the most omicron’d character in each aforementioned game mode has more than the entirety of the remaining mode (Territory Battles). Clearly their…
3 Updates CG Should Consider
3 Updates CG Should Consider
While many people are raving about some kind of major sport event, I figured it would be another great day to talk shop! After playing this game for over 5 years, and being an avid fan of all things Star Wars, let’s delve into some quick ideas CG should have on their table. **WARNING: some articles have been labeled as “clickbait” by various individuals who do not read**
#3: Give more characters…
Galactic Legend Daimyo Fett: Requirements, Event, and Kit Speculation!
*WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD*
Ignore all the complaining “fans”-The Book of Boba Fett is amazing.
Boba Fett has long been a character surrounded by intrigue, mystery, and sheer badassery, and the new series slowly peels back layers-even if changed and designed by The Mouse®. Since CG is tied to the content produced, it’s only fair to assume and expect a Galactic Legend before the end of the series.…
Who Will the Next Galactic Legends Be?
Lord Vader is old news. Onto the next!
*WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD*
With The Book of Boba Fett blowing away fans, every Galaxy of Heroes player is hoping to get some new characters added to the mix. From the appearances of all the trailers thus far, it will be heavily based around Boba rebuilding Jabba’s old enterprise, meaning scoundrels will be at the forefront of this series.
On the flip side,…
5 (More) Omicrons to Expect in 2022
5 (More) Omicrons to Expect in 2022
There is little doubt in my mind that Omicrons will be the standard going into next year. Zetas in themselves are overly powerful, if only because it doesn’t matter which game mode you are in to utilize their bonuses. I’m sure several of the higher-ups at Capital Games would have loved to come up with Omicrons first and zetas second, but here we are. The most we can do is make the best of it-and…
What’s a creature type that should have its own tribal-based commander, but doesn’t? I’ll go first:
Skeleton.
My next build project!
I’ve been on a building kick lately if you all couldn’t tell. I discovered Dargo only recently, and saw huge potential for an aggressive commander build. Throw in as many 0-drop artifacts in your deck and it’s realistic to assume you can turn 1 a 7/5 trampling commander! Add in some double strike enablers and this deck will be a lightning-fast threat!
If you pull it, you must build it. Thems the rules…
Rebuilt, better than ever!
I won’t be likely to make any friends with this…
I hear Azusa, Ghost Quarter and Ramunap Excavator work real good in this guy…
I thought of building Hans because I pulled this beaut but I just can’t make it work with what I’ve got. Slogurk, on the other hand…
Excited to pilot this new deck on Friday! I normally avoid Izzet-color decks, but I had this guy laying around and enough to justify building it. Hope it goes well!!
Now taking suggestions (budget-friendly) to build this commander! It seems so interesting but I’m struggling. Seems like a good way to facilitate combat, and add in a lot of equipment that taps to deal damage!
Pulled this new legend…guess I’ll build tribal clues then?
Mandalorians: Trash or (Future) Treasure?
Mandalorians: Trash or (Future) Treasure?
Are you wildly unimpressed with the Mandalorian faction? Good. Capital Games wants you to think exactly that. Caution: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Since the faction was formally added to the game earlier this year, you would think that there is some viability-or even use-in areas other than Galactic Challenges. Unfortunately that is not the case; after a shamefully extensive amount of time searching…
A Case for Mace
A Case for Mace
1:20:50. The precise moment that a long-standing pillar broke the faith on Mace Windu.
It’s truly a shame-Mace has been one of the most ignored named characters in the game, and as the years pass he receives no justice. But today, here, we will outline for those who remain true to The Cause® as well as those whose faith has been shaken, to why CG is wrong-and why Mace Windu deserves more than he…
10 Useful, Interesting, Hidden Gem GL Requirements
10 Useful, Interesting, Hidden Gem GL Requirements
I have a confession to make: When relic amplifiers first came out, my theory crafting process went nuts. Suddenly, this plethora of useless characters we all have may be terrifying when brought to the appropriate level! Well, while that idea came crashing down, the onset of Galactic Legends helped ease that less-than-graceful fall a bit. So many characters in the game have either outlived their…
GL Lord Vader: Requirements, Kit and More!
GL Lord Vader: Requirements, Kit and More!
Dear Capital Games,
If for some reason I accidentally am accurate on your ideas for this character…Oops.
With Lord Vader all but confirmed, SWGOH players are given yet another reason to rejoice. The time for further speculation has come again! Here we will ponder all the great mysteries of a new Galactic Legend: the kit, requirements, event, and ideal team setup.
First, we need to consider his…
Jedi Master Kenobi: The Galactic Legend Solution
Jedi Master Kenobi: The Galactic Legend Solution
High Ground! Our latest Galactic legend has finally been revealed in full, and I couldn’t be more excited. This new addition to our (future) rosters is everything we could have asked for and more. As I currently sit at 10/15 of his requirements ready, I should have him unlocked in approximately two months. But until then, we need to go over the Big Three: his requirements and their usefulness,…
The Next Raid Is A Problem For CG
The Next Raid Is A Problem For CG
While being a guest on The Escape Pod cast recently, the topic of future raids briefly came up. Amongst the many other topics we touched base on, this was one that stuck with me. A new raid is typically the Next Big Thing-and when sitting back and considering the State of the Galaxy, I realized that Capital Games may indeed not be ready for one, at least for another year. The semi-recent addition…
Merely a Construct: 5 SWGOH Characters Who Deserve Justice in 2021
Merely a Construct: 5 SWGOH Characters Who Deserve Justice in 2021
Many of the original characters in Galaxy of Heroes have aged extremely poorly. They sit at the bottom of many rosters, collecting dust or holding mods meant for others. Despite extensive lore, gaping holes in squads and more, unlimited potential exists in many of these unloved (or unlovable) toons. Here are five who deserve some attention-CG, take notes!

TIE Fighter Pilot…
February 2021: Month of the Sith Prediction
It is the early morning of February 1st, 2021.
In 2017, the addition of Darth Nihilus shook Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes to the core. A marquee character that could help complete Galactic War as a Sith lead, it also heralded the chance for other characters removed from Star Wars canon to re-emerge.
While we haven’t gotten any other monumental Sith in Februaries-the Sith raid came out in March…
I’ve rarely been excited about pre-cons. But when they wife gets them for a steal, and it opens new playstyles for you, one can’t help but be excited!
Happy this came in finally! Looking forward to seeing it work in mono-black Sidisi weenies!!
Story time!
While yes, we’ve been gone a long time, we still have a slight pulse. Due to COVID, the ability to play games in-person is challenging, and as I (Shawn) just moved to the Seattle area I have no regular playgroup.
More and more, I have enjoyed the telling of epic game stories-part of the reason we play is often to live in epic moments through our game. So I thought I would share one of mine.
About a year ago, I was running Atemsis as a commander.
Setting the losecon up can be challenging, since nobody wants this card in the field while your hand is full. However, in a multiplayer game I managed to get it out and equip Sorcerer’s Wand while having the conditional hand ready.
The game was 5-6 players and nobody had the advantage, however the player next to me may have realized I was some sort of threat. After about a turn he attempted to remove Atemsis from the board. Knowing this would set me back, I replied:
“In response, I remove you from the game.” And tapped Atemsis targeting him. His face when he realized I wasn’t saying that in jest:
Do you have a similar story of epic moves/responses? Feel free to submit so we can share!
What are some of your favorite draft mechanics/keywords?
