The Rise of the Empire Territory Battle was added in Galaxy of Heroes in late 2022 and features Light Side, Dark Side and Neutral paths. Featuring six phases which last 24 hours each, the Rise of the Empire Territory Battle has territories (planets) that can be unlocked by meeting certain criteria, and others that are part of the standard progression. Along the Dark Side path, the 6th and final planet we visit is no moon, it’s a space station. The Death Star has a Combat Mission near the Darth Vader mission that requires a Relic 9 Iden Versio and awards 1,151,719 Territory Points, and my walkthrough guide for how to win (and how to lose) this battle is below as we review the main Combat & Special Missions of the Rise of the Empire in SWGoH.
Death Star Combat Mission requirements:
- Iden Versio – Relic 9
- 4 other Relic 9+ Dark Side characters
My Team:
- 197,883 power
- Iden Versio Mods – Offense & Health sets
- Other Characters: Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, Darth Malak, Darth Malgus, Sith Empire Trooper
This battle forced me to look at my roster and review Rey (Dark Side Vision)’s tie-ins to Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, simply because Iden Versio is forced into the Leader position of this battle. In the end I had to use Supreme Leader Kylo Ren (SLKR mods) and decided that the First Order Rey was going to lose too much from not having SLKR in the leader spot and not have an all-First Order team, so three tanks, Darth Malak, Darth Malgus, Sith Empire Trooper, were my additions since I do not have Relic 9 Imperial Troopers ready.
To the battle, the entire battle is Rebel Troopers like the other Combat Missions on the Death Star. Stunning when I can with SLKR, I get a timely Darth Malak (Darth Malak mods) Force Drain for a kill and while I lose Malgus and SET in the first wave of enemies, I move on. In the second wave they kill off Iden as Malak makes it until the end before finally getting killed. But SLKR is just too much, stunning enemies and Siphoning away their Mastery as I get the win and 1,151,719 Territory Points.
