A new Era is here, and the Era of The Mandalorian and Grogu in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes kicks off with Adelphi Ranger joining the game. It is time to review mods for this new Era unit. During my time with Gaming Fans I started the “best mods” series of articles, which turned out to be what put the site on the radar of the community and of EA Capital Games. While my days with Gaming Fans are well behind me, I have been writing mod guides like this one since the early days of mods when they were added to SWGoH in 2018. Fortunately, writing these mod guides continues to be a way for me to enjoy Galaxy of Heroes now that I have been playing this game for over a decade. I will seek to keep the same high-quality content going as I continue the “best mods in SWGoH” series today with the Best Mods for Adelphi Ranger.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The newest character in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, Adelphi Ranger is an Era Unit Marquee character who joined the game on October 20, 2026, the first of two Marquees in the four-week Era of The Mandalorian and Grogu. The Adelphi Rangers are the New Republic pilots who fly with Captain Carson Teva, and this Rodian ranger is described in game as “a tough New Republic pilot who fiercely protects her allies.” That is exactly how she plays.
For the purposes of SWGoH, Adelphi Ranger is a Light Side Tank who fits into the New Republic and Rebel factions, and she is one of the required units for Galactic Legend The Mandalorian and Grogu. If you are still catching up on the film itself, here is my take on The Mandalorian and Grogu. Let’s take a look at how we want to focus the mod stat gains for Adelphi Ranger in Galaxy of Heroes.
Note that I have learned that I get a bit wordy in these Best Mods articles, so as a result the TL;DR on mods for Adelphi Ranger is below. I am also keeping the new(er) format on the recommendations below, which I hope continues to make these best mods articles easier to decipher.
Era of The Mandalorian and Grogu Characters:
- Adelphi Ranger
- Mercenary Guard Droid (B1)
Both Era Marquees are required for Galactic Legend The Mandalorian and Grogu, along with units like IG-12 & Grogu. During the Mini-Era you need Adelphi Ranger at Era Level 74, and after the Era ends the requirement becomes Relic 7.
Main Mod Stats to focus on…
Everything in Adelphi Ranger’s kit comes back to one buff: Bulwark. Each stack of Bulwark grants +150% Defense, and she loses one stack each time she takes damage. Her basic Practiced Shot gives her a stack every turn, her Adelphi Cavalry special gives all New Republic allies 3 stacks, and her Rodian Ranger unique hands out more whenever a New Republic ally counterattacks or the enemy takes consecutive turns. When a Droid ally would Taunt (with no Galactic Legends on the team), she takes the Taunt for them and gains 5 stacks of Bulwark herself. Because Bulwark multiplies her Defense, every point of Defense you add through mods gets multiplied right along with it. Defense is the stat I would lean on hardest.
Her base stats point the same way. At Relic 8 she has 84,452 Health and 74,219 Protection, 62.8% Armor and 47.1% Resistance, and her unique stacks even more on top. All New Republic allies gain 15% Max Health and Max Protection for each active New Republic ally and 20% Defense for each active Droid ally, and both are doubled for Adelphi Ranger. Put her with Captain Carson Teva and three Droids, the way CG’s example squad does (Teva, R5-D4, Chopper, C-3PO and Adelphi Ranger), and she becomes a very large wall. Health and Protection are the next stats to boost after Defense, and they matter for her team too: whenever she Taunts, loses Taunt or uses Adelphi Cavalry, all allies recover 50% of their Health and Protection.
Speed is a nice-to-have rather than a must. Her base Speed is 145, and under a Teva lead (with no Galactic Legends) she Taunts automatically at the start of each encounter, so she doesn’t need to move first to do her job. Some of her best defensive effects even trigger when allies take damage before her first turn. Speed secondaries still help her cycle Sentinel’s Strike and Adelphi Cavalry more often, so take them, but don’t build around them. Her base Potency is only 26%, so a little Potency on secondaries will help Defense Down and Daze land; On the Run from Adelphi Cavalry can’t be resisted, so it doesn’t need any. Her base Tenacity is already 116%, so it isn’t a priority. When you start rolling her secondaries, our slicing guide covers which mods are worth the materials.
So to answer the headline question, the mod stats to focus on for Adelphi Ranger are Defense first, then Health and Protection, with Speed and a little Potency on secondaries.
Which Mod Sets to use & Dev Recommendations for Adelphi Ranger
Just like with the Eras before it, Adelphi Ranger can only be used in Era modes like Coliseum while her Era is running, and mods don’t matter there. Era Units will get their stats from the new Overcharge system instead. The good news is that this is a Mini-Era, so the wait is short. The Era ends on November 17, 2026, and that is when Adelphi Ranger becomes a legacy unit and her mods start doing the work in Grand Arena, Territory Wars, Territory Battles and the new Droid Destruction raid, where she is one of the eligible units.
My initial recommendation is two Defense sets and a Health set, which lines up with how much her kit multiplies Defense. If you’d rather lean harder on survivability, a Health set plus Defense sets is still the right family; I wouldn’t put her in a Speed or Offense set. When the devs chime in with their mod recommendations, I will gladly compare and make any needed adjustments. Until then, here are my recommendations for the best mods for Adelphi Ranger:
- Transmitter (Square): The Transmitter mod always has a primary focus on offense.
-
- Recommended Mod Type: Defense
