Galactic Bounties

Galactic Bounty Events are unlocked at level 75 and are designed for players at level 80+. They offer an escalating challenge as the tiers increase, but also rarer character Bounties! Each tier is a bit more challenging than the one before. Tier 1 (“Easy”) is tuned for a reasonably new squad of Bounty Hunters with approximately gear level 8 and okay mods. Tier 5 (“Deadly”) is tuned for a fully maxed out squad of veteran bounty hunters with gear 12 and excellent mods (and maybe a zeta or two). You can tell the relative difficulty by looking at the title of the mission: EASY bounties are just that, while DEADLY bounties will require a powerful team of Bounty Hunters.

Our intent is to cycle the available "bounty targets" every so often, so if a character you want to add to your collection isn't a target this time, perhaps they will be in the future!

Be aware that the Victory Counts (how many times you can "win") in Galactic Bounty events are SHARED. Completing any bounty will consume a Victory Count for ALL Bounties. So choose your target carefully!

Also be aware that as an introductory run of the Galactic Bounty Events, we will be providing players with two “free” plays of the event for the first two runs, in case anybody misses the fact that they are shared. Future runs of the event will have a crystal refresh associated with the second attempt.

The Galactic Bounty Event is a RARE event and will return infrequently. Make sure to improve your Bounty Hunters before the next Galactic Bounty event appears!

Repeat: VICTORY COUNTS IN GALACTIC BOUNTY EVENTS ARE SHARED.

The current Galactic Bounties available are: Paploo, Han Solo, Rebel Officer Leia Organa, Imperial Probe Droid, Wampa

Event begins: April 26th

Recommended level: 80+

Event begins: May 7th

Recommended level: 80+

On the Hunt

Marquee events will no longer disappear once completed, but will remain open for the duration of their schedule (typically 2-3 days). You will be able to replay previously completed tiers for no reward to further practice with the new character.

There will be a "Practice Tier" where the enemy squad will be healthy enough so that you can practice strategy with the new character. (Enemies may not necessarily be a threat.)

Event begins: May 4th

Event ends: May 6th

Level requirements for event: 20+

Forced Leader: Bossk

Rebel Assault Battle

Bounty Hunters gain the bonus ability "Many Disintegrations". Many Disintegrations: Gain a bonus turn with the following benefits: +100% Critical Hit Chance & +100% Defense Penetration. If this character defeats an enemy during the bonus turn they gain 20% Offense (stacking) until the end of battle.

Imperial Troopers gain the bonus ability "Rapid Fire". Rapid Fire: Attack 1-5 times. For each attack after the second the target enemy has a greater chance to evade the bonus attacks.



Tier 1 awards shards/blueprints primarily of the Rogue One and Phoenix Squadron Rebel subfactions.

Tier 2 awards shards/blueprints primarily of the "classic Film" Rebels (EG: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Lando, etc...)

Tier 3 (Bonus Tier) awards shards from all the possible rewards in Tier 1 and Tier 2.

Event begins: May 4th

Event ends: May 7th

Recommended Level: 75+
