Here are the key things to know about Omicrons in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes:

• Omicrons are a new type of upgrade released in 2022 that can be applied to certain Galactic Republic and Separatist characters.

• Omicrons grant characters a brand new ability or bonus, allowing them to function in a totally different role. This essentially gives “two characters in one”.

• Applying an Omicron permanently disables one of the base abilities of that character. So there are trade-offs to using an Omicron.

• Omicrons are aimed at veteran players looking for a new challenge and twist on existing characters. They provide alternative ways to use old characters.

• Only certain characters are eligible for Omicrons, and each character has a specific Omicron designed for them. Not all characters will get Omicrons.

• CG has said they will periodically release new Omicrons for different factions beyond just Republic and Separatist.

• For Republic, General Anakin Skywalker was the first to receive an Omicron, giving him an ultimate ability as a Damage dealer. His is considered one of the best Omicrons.

• For Separatists, Wat Tambor received an Omicron that makes him an ideal 5th member for Droids teams, boosting their Critical Damage.

• The main PvP game mode where Omicrons shine is Grand Arena Championships. Certain Omicrons can throw off your opponent’s strategy.

In summary, Omicrons are a new type of upgrade in SWGOH that provide existing characters with a totally reimagined ability at the cost of losing one of their base abilities. They are aimed at endgame players looking for a new challenge and alternative uses for old characters, especially in the PvP mode Grand Arena Championships.
