Krrsantan brings with him a brand-new tag: Boba Fett, Embo, Cad Bane, Greedo, Gamorrean Guard, Mob Enforcer all receive the new tag beginning with the next update.

But what is the driving force behind adding this new tag?

NEW GALACTIC LEGEND: JABBA THE HUTT

The notorious gangster Jabba the Hutt will be ing the holotables in the coming months!

Jabba the Hutt is an incredibly imposing Contract for Bounty Hunters while he is the leader.

Jabba is on par with the other Galactic Legends and is primarily designed to work in concert with other characters powered up to Relic levels, not just for the Requirements but also for the powerful squad Jabba will lead.

And with that, the first set of prerequisites for Jabba the Hutt are:

  • Krrsantan, Relic 5
  • Han Solo, Relic 8
  • Gamorrean Guard, Relic 3
  • Greedo, Relic 6
  • Outrider, 7 Stars

As a crime lord, Jabba always likes to have a piece of the action, and you will find him useful in Territory Battles, such as on Road Ahead.

PROFUNDITY

When we introduced Executor to the ship meta we ushered in a new era of Fleet capital ship designed to challenge these fleets.

Some players have seen all the clues we’ve laid over the past months but now we are ready to announce the next mechanic as the Profundity will also be receiving the enemy’s top secret battle plans throughout the engagement as a core mechanic for the fleet.

Profundity, like Executor, will require both ships and Relic’d characters to participate in the Journey Guide event.

Of note, the ships listed are only required at 4-star rarity to begin the event, in order to unlock Profundity players will need the ships to be 7-star rarity to participate in the final tier.

Profundity Prerequisites:

  • iral Raddus Relic 9
  • Cassian Andor Relic 8
  • Dash Rendar Relic 7
  • Mon Mothma Relic 5
  • Bistan Relic 5
  • Jyn Erso Relic 5
  • Hera Syndulla Relic 5
  • Outrider (4-stars to start, 7-stars required to unlock)
  • Cassian’s U-wing (4-stars to start, 7-stars required to unlock)
  • Bistan’s U-wing (4-stars to start, 7-stars required to unlock)
  • Wedge Antilles’ X-wing (4-stars to start, 7-stars required to unlock)
  • Biggs Darklighter’s X-wing ((4-stars to start, 7-stars required to unlock)
  • Rebel Y-wing (4-stars to start, 7-stars required to unlock)
  • Ghost (4-stars to start, 7-stars required to unlock)

RELIC UPDATE
With the continued growth of the Relic system over the last few years, some lower-tier Relic materials have become scarcer than intended. As a result, high-requirement chases (R7+) are sometimes preventing Players from working on other squads or goals. To address this, Carbonite Circuit Boards and Bronzium Wiring will be removed from Relic 8 and Relic 9 recipes. This frees those Relic Materials to be used on newer and/or in-development squads.

QUALITY OF LIFE UPDATE: MODS

Many of you will be happy to hear that our Mods while also adding several new features to make finding the right mods much easier.

Mod Sorting and Filtering

(Note: Image is purposely lengthened beyond the in-game bounds for illustrative purposes)

Locating the precise Mod you’re looking for in your inventory is an important operation and there are many variables that need to be taken into when searching for a Mod. As a result, we will be adding the following features to increase efficiency and precision.

(Filter) Exclude Secondary Stat – Filter for Mods that DON’T have a given Secondary Stat
(Filter) Toggle “All Secondaries Revealed” – Filter for Mods with all Secondary Stats revealed or not revealed
(Filter) Filter by Level – Filter for Mods based on their Level (More Than / Less Than / Equal To)

(Filter) Slice Count – Filter Mods based on the number of times a Secondary Stat has rolled
(Filter) Avg Slice Quality – Filter Mods based on percentage of max possible values for a Secondary Stat (normalized by Roll Count)
(Filter) Save Presets – Ability to name and save a Filter and Sorting behavior for later reuse
(Sort) Sort by Level – Ability to sort Mods by level in either descending or ascending order

(Note: Terminology is subject to change)

Updated Mod Enhance Screen

Updated Mod Slicing Screen

We’re organizing all the Mod operations into a single screen called Enhance Mod. This screen will contain all the Mod actions in a single, convenient spot for players and reduce the number of taps needed to operate on a Mod.

We’re also making adjustments to the Upgrade and Slice screens. We’ve replaced the Level slider on Upgrades and have instead implemented buttons that giving players more detailed information about which level Secondary Stats will be revealed.

Finally, the Slice screen is now updated to give you a better picture of what’s happening underneath the hood. Slicing a mod is the process of improving the power of a random Secondary Stat. We’re adding a visualized graph per Slice so you have a better understanding of where a Mod’s strength sits relative to others.

Batch Manage Mods
Upgrading Mods requires player progression in our next update.

(NOTE: There is some placeholder test data that slipped into this screenshot when we were mocking it up. Who knows what 3.31% Taunt even means)

With our work with all of the new Filter and Sort features described previously, making it very quick to sell unwanted mods and identify Mods you would like to invest in.

On top of that, we’ve added another feature when Batch Upgrading players to easily reveal all the necessary info to decide if you would like to keep a Mod.

WRAP UP
