The newest Galactic Legend is here in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes as we now have the chance to unlock Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka. Added in September 2025, Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka requires 15 characters plus Rey’s Millennium Falcon, including three Relic 9 characters (Hondo Ohnaka, General Skywalker and General Kenobi) and all six Era of Piracy Marquee characters, making him a high price to pay. Today we will work toward unlocking Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka in SWGoH with a walkthrough of my experience fighting the battles below. As always, remember that once you unlock him, the best mods for Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka have been posted here at StarWars-fans.com.

Unlocking Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka – Tales of the Pirate King – Tier 1
Tier I Requirements: Hondo Ohnaka & General Kenobi
Reward: 20 Shards of Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka (4x)
Using 12 of the Dark Side Currency and allowing 4 battles in total we begin Tier 1. We are assisted by Commander Cody without mods as General Kenobi and Commander Cody face off with General Grievous and his crew on Utapau in Episode 3. Cleansing the Target Lock debuff is important here, so save Pirate King Hondo’s second special (3rd ability) Charismatic Captain and GK’s middle ability for when needed. Cody died fast in my first battle, but he is really just filler as this battle is quite easy to start off with 20 shards of Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka.
Unlocking Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka – Tales of the Pirate King – Tier 2
Tier II Requirements: Hondo Ohnaka
Reward: 20 Shards of Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka (4x)
Using 23 of the Dark Side Currency and allowing 4 battles in total we begin Tier 2. Hondo is joined by a Kelleran Beq event unit and Grogu as the trio has to fend off Clone Troopers. Targeting the Clone with Fives’ abilities in the back row is key to keeping this battle under control, as you do not want the granted stats from another Clone dying to turn the battle in the wrong direction.
Unlocking Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka – Tales of the Pirate King – Tier 3
Tier III Requirements: Hondo Ohnaka
Reward: 20 Shards of Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka (4x)
Using 35 of the Dark Side Currency and allowing 4 battles in total we begin Tier 3. Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum) and Ezra Bridger as Jabba the Hutt join Hondo on Malachor, and keeping Fulcrum and Hondo alive is key. The strategy here is having Ezra/Jabba call Hondo to assist to get an extra big hit in and using Hondo’s middle ability to increase the cooldowns on Darth Vader so that he cannot use his lightsaber throw to kill Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum).
Unlocking Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka – Tales of the Pirate King – Tier 4
Tier IV Requirements: Hondo Ohnaka
Reward: 30 Shards of Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka (3x)
Using 47 of the Dark Side Currency and allowing 3 battles in total we begin Tier 4 which takes place on Hoth. Hondo is joined by Rebel Officer Leia Organa, Captain Han Solo, C-3PO and Chewbacca as they look to escape from the Imperials invading Hoth.
In wave one I go after the Snowtrooper in the back left, and work around the taunt to take his out before working through the others. Remember that CHOLO can revive a dead ally, but this did not come into play for me. In wave two I get stuck behind a taunt and lose Chewie, revive him, then lose ROLO. Darth Vader gets added to the battle and they get me down to Hondo against Vader and two enemies, but I am able to recover and take out the two Imperials and get the win in my first attempt for a 30 shard prize.
Unlocking Galactic Legend Hondo Ohnaka – Tales of the Pirate King – Tier 5
Tier V Requirements: Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka
Reward: Ultimate Materials (10x)
Using 84 of the Dark Side Currency and allowing 10 battles in total we begin Tier 5. Here we find Hondo with Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker fighting Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine on the Death Star to round out the craziness of the Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka event. Spamming buttons works, just be sure to use the middle ability from Hondo to ensure you keep Vader’s abilities under control as the Cooldown mechanic is important. From here, both waves are easy wins if you have your Galactic Legend Hondo modded and geared up well.
