HUGE UPDATE COMING THIS WEEK - HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT #swgoh

Storyline / Setting (In-game)

• The update is framed as marking the end of the Andor era (ending in about a week) and transitioning into a new era, whose theme has not yet been officially detailed.
• The creator speculates the next era could connect to upcoming Star Wars media—especially Mandalorian—and potentially bring new movie-synergy characters and releases, including a possible new Galactic Legend later.

Gameplay / Mode Highlights Mentioned

Conquest character release

• The only clearly confirmed “big” item mentioned is Kob Van arriving as a Conquest character.

New raid (timing and interaction with the new era)

• A new raid is expected around late June (based on the last new raid being around June 2025).
• Key concern: how the raid will align with the new era system, since characters may not be farmable for months after release.

Galactic Legend cadence

• The creator discusses the typical yearly Galactic Legend cadence and speculates whether the next one returns around September.
• Strategy/concern: if the Galactic Legend unlock requires characters from the new era (e.g., Mandalorian), those characters might not be farmable for a long time, pushing players toward spending.

Coliseum

• Expect more Coliseum changes.
• The creator notes earlier “quality of life” language from CG may not be enough.

Legacy modes needing updates

• GAC (Grand Arena Championships): said to have received essentially no meaningful update “for years” (with datacrons mentioned as a partial exception).
• TW (Territory Wars): described as effectively “dead,” also long overdue for updates.
• Fleet-related content: strongly criticized as neglected for “3 years.”
  • The creator argues fleets are crucial because they gate major crystal income (for example, GAC + Fleet Arena).

User interface update (TWW / cantina-like UI speculation)

• A UI hint is interpreted as likely primarily cosmetic/UI changes, not deep reworks of major game modes.
• This includes removing “trash talking hut” and a “new look” referenced in a screenshot.

Data / Datacrons

• Datacron cadence remains unpopular, though some information is expected in the update.

Quality of life improvements (confirmed / expected)

• Attenuator cap increased: from 300 to 1,000, matching new income from Hondo-related content.
• Smuggler’s Run 3: described as improving Hondo farming focus/priority for new players (event said to be “crazy strong”).
• Promote units for zero credits: going from 6-star to 7-star costs 0 credits (helps early game).
• Maul event returns: data mined; expected to run one full month, starting May 5.
• A new-player quest chain has ended; the creator hopes it continues or gets replaced next year.
• Possible additional QOL upgrades are mentioned, but no specifics are listed.

Strategies / Key Tips and Takeaways (As Discussed)

• Manage expectations about what’s “coming”

  • CG hasn’t communicated concrete future content details well, so the value of this week’s update may be mostly about official reveal timing rather than confirmed specifics.

• Plan for farming timing friction

  • New era + raid + Galactic Legend may create delays where required characters won’t be farmable for months, affecting efficient participation.

• Fleets are a major account-impact system

  • Fleet improvements matter because poor fleets can limit crystal income and overall performance in key modes.

• Don’t expect deep reworks from UI hints

  • UI changes are predicted to be cosmetic rather than major system overhauls.

Gamers / Sources Featured

• Zerith Prevails (video creator/channel referenced)
