While the developers were a little worried about the timing of the 02.15.17 Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes update, it seems to have worked out just fine. The major game update saw the introduction of three new characters – Darth Nihilus, Sith Assassin and Sith Trooper – along with the unveiling of Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle, the reworking of other Sith toons Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul and Savage Opress (why is Savage Opress a Sith and not Asajj Ventress?) and a few other changes. The introduction of Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor and Chirrut Imwe to Chromium packs was also announced, but one update that may get overlooked is to Captain Phasma. While Phasma has been a great leader to use in the past and continues to be a great support character for many on the AAT & HAAT, it seems the First Order synergy is the key now. Captain Phasma now grants all First Order allies advantage for 2 turns at the start of each encounter and they have critical hit immunity while they have advantage. Expect to see a lot more First Order teams in the arena soon!
