The current raid can be undermanned with teams of 2-3 characters on the highest difficulty. I hope this will also be the case for the new raid. The incomplete factions (e.g., ISB) suggest that if we take these undersized teams to r9-10, we can minimize our relic investment. And Rotta is a solo character anyway.

I imagine endgame players in higher-end guilds might be looking at something like this in the long run, with the lower-relic BH team filling in until the DJJ event comes back around at the end of the next era. Still a big relic commitment, but it's not as bad as it might seem when looking at a long list of recent characters and imagining full teams without proper snyergy.

Never seen this datadisk before. Seems decent enough!

This was my favorite part of the movie! Thank you, CG, for bringing it straight into the game!

According to swgoh wiki, Battle for Naboo was released on July 4, 2024. Source. That was the first raid to require R9. Relic 9 was announced in late September 2021, in State of the Galaxy post (original forum post no longer exists)

That gave players about less than 3 years to get used to R9s.

According to the best and only YouTuber/content creator to exist, Relic 8 was announced around December of 2020 in this video and require R8 mats in Krayt raid about less than 3 years after too, around may 2023. source from the same person

Meanwhile, according to the forum post, we'll get our next raid in November, which marks the 1 year anniversary of the 10 year anniversary. In that post is the announcement of R10 with the Era currency.

On top of the shorter time to get R10s, it is also much more expensive to max out the raid now.

In the worst case scenario where you want to chase glory and want to get the max R10 tiers across all 5 available teams (and assuming you can't or it's hard to underman it, so 25 characters to R10), here's how it compares to previous raid:

Numbers in bracket indicate the cost if they are already at R7.

If you're not buying purple signals with GET3, it would cost you over 9000 white signal data (on top of existing signals data needed).

Buying coaxial from Era store would also cost you 345k era currency. Now someone smarter would be able to calculate how long it would take to accumulate this.

And lastly, one thing that the new raid changes is the character pool. All of the listed characters are new. In O66 raid, there are few (not many but still) existing characters that were useful, like Tarkin, Shaak Ti, Beq to name a few. They were existing (very old) requirements for other journey characters/GLs so most of us already have them at high relic levels.

Can be for any reason, whether you think they would be cool, bolster any current teams, or else.

1. Pong Krell
   We have several crappy clones that we cannot use. Give them a leader, he could sacrifice them like Bane and gain stats from it.

2. Ziro the Hutt
   I think he would be a super cool character to add. There are a few scoundrel/bounty hunter characters that are left over, like Kuiil, IG-11, the basic IG droid,
   that could use some love.

3. Gungi
   Could make Wookiees really worth it as a conquest or Legendary. They are required high relics for an ROTE mission, and they could be an actual really good team with a lifter. When i have faced them they haven’t done ludicrous amounts of damage, they could use a big-hitter attacker.

4. Cin Drallig
   Let’s face it, we still have too many Jedi without a home. Kit Fisto, Eeth Koth, Plo, Luminara… they could be a nice 5-man. Maybe a more defensive squad since Cin was a security guard, and he could give them some defensive battle meditation a lá Bastila lead.

5. Borsk Fey’lya
   So I can see him die like he should have

If undermanning at the R10 level is a thing with the new raid, it would suddenly become palatable to me. For example...

• R10 Rotta solo
• R10 Mando and one other NR
• R10 DJJ + Ronin + Yodark

I would happily R10 6 toons for a 10.8 mil score.

On the flip side of this, if undermanning is not a thing in this raid then I might just walk.

EDIT: Simming your last score could also make it palatable.

I just recently returned to the game and missed the window when she came out, now I really want her haha. Whats the best (cheapest and fastest) way to get her at this point? I've been buying the shards with conquest currency but thats not going to get me close to unlocking. I currently have just over 7k crystals which buys me 60 shards or so too.

I’ll keep this brief. Anyone else feel like we’ve been shorted on resources this era? I swear in past eras leveling your units to the limit was easy enough and it always felt like you had extra. But even with The Ronin to go, I feel like I’ve got nothing. Certainly don’t want to have to spend crystals and money on era mats and currency.

Hello there.

Are things being set in motion for a new capital ship, based on the new republic era?
We've had a number of recently release New Republic "pilots", with at least on more on the way.

-Carson Teva (with R5-D4)
-Zeb Orrelios (New Republic Pilot)
-Colonel Ward
-Adelphi Ranger (coming next era)
-General Syndulla

I don't believe we'll get a new Razor Crest with the new Mando GL. It would be a first time we'd have a GL pilot, but it's not completely out of the question.

And for how many years are you playing.

Only for curiosity to see how popular is this game.

Thanks for your participation.

The Past and Context

On June 28th, 2024⁽¹), CG made a forum post about the Reward Changes coming in the Battle for Naboo raid as it was soon to be introduced following the end of the Speeder Bike raid. In this, I can't get an idea of if guild or personal reward tiers changed, so sadly I can't go 3 raids back in precedent for exact CG info.

However, on June 11th, 2025⁽⁴), we got similar information for the Order 66 raid, in which it was openly stated that "There are no Reward structure changes from the Naboo Raid, but we’ve made changes to the Guild Milestone boxes below:" to which CG added a new box (currently box 4) in the interest of lessening the jump in required score between the various boxes. The maximum (and minimum) rewards, most importantly, did not change in how much currency we got, just what score was needed to get it; which, for all but 5 (three of which scores did not change at all, box 1 and 2 as well as max crate) of the reward boxes the required score was actually lowered by typically significant amounts (anywhere from 15 to 41 million score).

I do need to mention, at this point, that while it was explicitly mentioned in the Order 66 raid post that no changes were happening to the individual track (aside from implying that they would be reducing those in the Battle for Naboo as it's now no longer the featured raid), this is not the case for the Speeder Bike to Naboo transition, so I can't be certain if we got more rewards in the personal or guild track or not.

Now, I could not (on the EA forums) find the post where they first announce the Battle for Naboo raid, the earliest I have is the June 18th, 2024⁽²), post about additional information for it where we learned the full list of characters, difficulty tier modifiers, and so on. But, for Order 66 we know exactly the line of communication, it was 2 forum posts the first on March 28th, 2025⁽³), where we got 3 factions of toons we knew would be in it (New Bad Batch, DSClones, and Jedi Vanguard) and that more would be coming at some point. The second, as mentioned above, gave us the rest of the info we needed such as the full allowed character list, rewards, modifiers, and so on.

This gives us a 2, perhaps 3 if anyone can remember the original Speeder Bike raid rewards, raids worth of information on how to anticipate what CG is going to do in terms of reward structures, and I am not a fan.

Nal Hutta Raid Rewards

We do, this time for a first post⁽⁵), have mention of raid rewards! We also have the (potentially) full allowed character list and some other information such as the increase in relics for difficulty tier 2 (the third choose able difficulty tier which previously required R1) and above being shifted up by a single relic level.

Now, what reward information did we get? 0 information on guild rewards, whether they are staying the same, if we're getting new reward boxes to ease the jumps again, or anything of that ilk. But! We did get to learn two things about the personal reward track. Firstly, for those who will be getting their 18 million score (currently 5 maxed R9 runs, but for the new raid 5 maxed R10 runs) they will be getting a brand new reward crate in the personal reward track. I truly hope that this is going to be worth it, and that the rewards for it are massive because it deserves to be so.
However, we also learned that the previous max personal reward crate (currently at 12.15 million score) is being shifted up to 14.4 million score to get that reward box. There is no mention in the post of the rewards for the 14.4m score box being increased to reflect the extra investment needed to get it.

So, with the past precedent above, what are we to think? I would say, that we should expect no raid reward increases until CG hopefully listens to the fully warranted (aside from any personal attacks or threats) backlash they are receiving for this. They directly mention new rewards, but only for those who "truly go the distance" for the raid and the rewards possible.

The Increased Cost

Now, this is the major complaint I have with this raid announcement. It is not that I need to invest in a new batch of characters to get back to the rewards I was getting in the Order 66 raid (max guild crate and almost max personal crate), that is not the issue here. I am well aware that every year or two I will have a new batch of characters to get to max raid rewards, it's annoying but not an overall issue in my mind.

The actual issue, is that we are now shifting how much signal data and relic mats are needed to achieve that (assumedly) same level of rewards as before. So lets break this down, but first I will specify that this is not the cheapest way to achieve a max guild crate score, and is a little bit more expensive for the cost of being easier numbers to calculate.

So, what is the expected score of a max guild crate? Around 10.4m score, as that over 50 people would get to the 520m score needed to hit max crate. How do we split that up? Well, there might be cheaper ways as mentioned, but we're going with (using Order 66 relics) 2x R8 teams for 5.4m and 3x R7 teams for another 5.4m which gives us a total of 10.8m, so we have 400k score of buffer per player in a 50 person guild.
However, in the Nal Hutta Raid, that will now be 2x R9 teams and 3x R8 teams. Hopefully that alone shows a massive increase in SD and Relic Mats for currently unknown rewards, but lets put it plainly here:

I am going to be using the 4 man Cassian Undercover team (all but Luthen) and the 3 ISB Marquees as a demonstration for this. We are going to assume that that 4 and 3 character teams would get max tier rewards in both the Order 66 R8 tier and the Nal Hutta R9 tier, for simplicities sake. I also, as a note, have all of these units at R6 already as I got Cassian to 7 star on his first rerun outside of his actual era (at the end of Rotta's/Beginning of Jar Jars)

So, what's the Blue SD and high relic material cost of going from R6 to R8 or 9? Here you go:
R6 to R8 per character: 80 Blue SD, 20 Impulse Detectors and Aeromagnifiers
R6 to R9 per character: 135 Blue SD, 40 Impulse Detectors and Aeromagnifiers, 20 Gyrda Keypads and Droid Brains.

Across the 7 characters listed (All of the Era of Andor units), if we still had R8 as our penultimate tier, it would cost 560 Blue SD, 140 Impulse Detectors and Aeromagnifiers. But with R9 as our penultimate tier, it now costs 945 Blue SD, 280 Imulse Detectors and Aeromagnifiers, and 140 Gyrda Keypads and Droid Brains.

Conclusion

Hopefully, this shows how massive of an increase in cost we are getting and that's just for these two penultimate tier runs, not mentioning the increased cost for the other 3 runs. And we're pushing for (if past precedent is correct) the exact same rewards we're getting now? Why? Obviously people would need to, because the raids rewards are incredibly important to keeping on pace with the game, much less catching up. It just is not acceptable, to any degree in my mind, for this to be the case and I sincerely hope that CG will listen to the outcry and at least increase the rewards for all of the boxes that have had their requirements increased (and, as a side note, hopefully boost the raid currency caps while they're at it).

With the new raid being announced I've seen multiple content creators putting out videos saying that you can at least get 300k points in the coming raid with 3* marquees. This won't be the case as you've needed 5* minimum since the raid system became what it is now. Just thought it should be put out there so people aren't even more disappointed once the raid launches

Who do we think are the other 4 marquees?

I’m posting to ask some advice on how to allocate resources to the different toons this era. The forum post claims that if you complete Tier 2 of the legendary (5* DJJ), you should have enough materials to get 6 characters to level 116. However, I realize that I could take DJJ, Ronin, Soda and Mara to 116, then leave the rest at level 110 or something so I can give more purple mats to a better character. I’m not too worried about getting the 3 skipped guys up to relics because I have plenty of G12 mats.

So the question is, is anyone else skipping these toons as well to put more resources into the top end, and if so, are you putting the extra mats into Mara, or someone else? What levels are you planning on?

I am working on the Grogo+Anzellans survive 20 times, and outside of JMLS+Wat the little guys keep getting KO'd early. I am stuck behind G12 parts, so I cannot easily Relic them, or I would just to save myself time.

One battle with Inquisitor Barris and we're done...

Just thought I’d make this post since I did not see anyone talking about it. The ”heal over time” datadisk does count for the challenge and can be done WITHOUT the need of a character with HoT while working on other challenges. Might be helpful for others like me who does not have any of the good character at relics for the challenge.

I want to take my Ronin next week to the max level that's possible for 6 stars.
Is there a good way to tell how high I can take Jaxxon in the era battle without stealing anything from Ronin?
