SWGoH: Best Mods for Grogu & Anzellans

Grogu has picked up a few new friends in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, and it is time to review mods for the most chaotic Healer in the game, Grogu & Anzellans. The “best mods” series has followed me from Gaming Fans, where it first caught the attention of the community and EA Capital Games, all the way here to StarWars-fans.com. I have been writing these guides since mods were added to SWGoH in 2018, and in all that time I never expected to write one for Grogu and a crew of tiny droidsmiths. So let’s continue the “best mods in SWGoH” series today with the Best Mods for Grogu & Anzellans.

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

Grogu & Anzellans joined the game in June 2026 as one of the final Marquees of the Era of the New Republic. The Anzellans are the same tiny species as Babu Frik from The Rise of Skywalker, and Anzellan droidsmiths appear alongside Grogu in The Mandalorian and Grogu (here is my take on the movie), which gives this unit its name and its sense of humor. The game describes them as “this adventurous group aids their allies through healing and other antics,” and that is exactly what they do. For the purposes of SWGoH, Grogu & Anzellans is a Healer who fits into the New Republic, Mandalorian and Unaligned Force User factions. Let’s take a look at how we want to focus the mod stat gains for Grogu & Anzellans 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 Grogu & Anzellans 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 New Republic Characters:

• R5-D4
• Zeb Orrelios (New Republic Pilot)
• Colonel Ward
• Captain Carson Teva
• Grogu & Anzellans
• Snowtrooper Commander
• Rotta the Hutt

Grogu & Anzellans heal and protect the New Republic squad. You will also need them at Relic 6 for Rotta the Hutt’s journey. If you are collecting every version of the little guy, see our guide to the best mods for IG-12 & Grogu, and don’t forget their Din Grogu unique goes up to 100 stacks of Force Connection when any version of The Mandalorian, like The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor), is an ally. For every Era and its characters, see our Eras & Era Battles page.

November 2026 Update: Grogu & Anzellans are now one of the required units for Galactic Legend The Mandalorian and Grogu at Relic 7 (see our Mandalorian and Grogu unlock guide and the best mods for The Mandalorian and Grogu), and a New Republic Galactic Legend also unlocks more of their Zeta and Omicron.

Main Mod Stats to focus on…

Grogu & Anzellans don’t hit hard. Their basic, Good Shot, Baby!, deals exactly 1 True damage, which tells you everything about where their value comes from. What it does do is inflict Off Balance, add Force Influence during their turn and Ability Block enemies during enemy turns, while giving Grogu & Anzellans and a random Support ally Tenacity Up. Their real job is keeping the squad alive, and that starts with Speed. Tune Up equalizes all allies’ Health, gives them Defense Up, and has Mandalorian and New Republic allies recover 30% of their Max Health with 2 stacks of Heal Over Time. Strapped In dispels every enemy buff, gives all allies Dramatic Entrance and 3 stacks of Heal Over Time, and Stealths your other Healers and Supports. The faster Grogu & Anzellans get turns, the more often those abilities come back around. Top players average around 270 Speed on them at under Relic 8, so a Speed arrow and Speed secondaries are a must.

After Speed, it is Health. Their healing is based on each ally’s own Max Health rather than their stats, so Health on Grogu & Anzellans is about keeping them alive long enough to keep healing. Their Bad Baby! unique gives an all New Republic squad 30% Max Health and Protection and Deflective Ward at the start of battle, so a healthy Grogu adds to a team that is already hard to bring down.

Tenacity is the surprise on this one. Top rosters are running Grogu & Anzellans at well over 150% Tenacity, and it makes sense: a Healer who gets Stunned or Ability Blocked can’t heal, and Good Shot, Baby! gives them Tenacity Up on top of whatever their mods provide. A Tenacity set is the second most popular choice, and a Tenacity primary on the Cross is the single most popular option in that slot.

Offense does nothing for them, and Potency is only a minor bonus for Off Balance and Ability Block. So the mod stats to focus on for Grogu & Anzellans are Speed first, then Health and Tenacity, with Protection and Defense to round them out. Skip any heavy focus on Offense or Potency. When you start rolling their secondaries, our mod slicing guide will help you decide which mods are worth the materials.

Which Mod Sets to use & Dev Recommendations for Grogu & Anzellans

Top players are split between two builds on Grogu & Anzellans: a Speed set with a Health set, which is the most popular, and a Speed set with a Tenacity set, which is not far behind. The developers at EA Capital Games recommend Defense and Health for Grogu & Anzellans, which puts the focus on survival over Speed. Health is part of both the dev recommendation and the most popular build, so I would treat Health as the must-have set. Since Health and Defense are both 2-mod sets, Grogu & Anzellans get three sets, and you can choose which one to double up on based on your best secondary stats. If your Grogu is healthy but taking too few turns, the Speed and Health build the top players run is a fine alternative. With all of that in mind, here are my recommendations for the best mods for Grogu & Anzellans:

• Transmitter (Square): The Transmitter mod always has a primary focus on offense.
  • Recommended Mod Type: Health
  • Recommended Secondary Stats: speed, health, tenacity and protection
• Receiver (Arrow): The Receiver mod can have a primary focus on several stats including speed, critical avoidance, accuracy, health, protection, defense and offense.
  • Recommended Mod Type: Health or Defense mod (whichever set you double up on), Speed focus
  • Recommended Secondary Stats: health, tenacity, protection and defense
• Processor (Diamond): The Processor is always going to have a primary focus on defense.
  • Recommended Mod Type: Health
  • Recommended Secondary Stats: speed, health, tenacity and protection
• Holo-Array (Triangle): The Holo-Array is a very specialized mod that can have a primary focus on critical chance, critical damage, health, protection, offense and defense.
  • Recommended Mod Type: Health or Defense mod (whichever set you double up on), Health focus (Protection focus is a fine alternative)
  • Recommended Secondary Stats: speed, tenacity, protection and defense
• Data-Bus (Circle): The Data-Bus mod always has a primary focus on either health or protection.
  • Recommended Mod Type: Defense mod, Health focus
  • Recommended Secondary Stats: speed, tenacity, protection and defense
• Multiplexer (Plus): The Multiplexer (plus or cross) mod can have a primary focus on potency, tenacity, health, protection, defense or offense.
  • Recommended Mod Type: Defense mod, Tenacity focus (Health focus if you already have plenty of Tenacity)
  • Recommended Secondary Stats: speed, health, protection and defense

Grogu & Anzellans Zeta and Omicron

Grogu & Anzellans have one Zeta and one Omicron, and both are on their Bad Baby! unique.

• Zeta: This is where Grogu becomes a full-time bodyguard for the New Republic. Whenever an Attacker or Tank ally loses Deflective Ward, Retaliate, Retribution or a Taunt, their Heal Over Time triggers, allies ignore Taunt during enemy turns, and if there is an allied New Republic Galactic Legend (or no other Galactic Legends in the battle), Stuns on New Republic allies during enemy turns are dispelled with a cooldown reduction, and Dazes are dispelled with a 20% heal. Get this one first.
• Omicron (Grand Arena): If all allies are Mandalorian or New Republic, with an allied New Republic Galactic Legend or no other Galactic Legends in the battle, the team gains another 20% Max Health and Protection and Deflective Ward at the start of battle, and Grogu & Anzellans become Untargetable for 1 turn every time they use a Special ability. If New Republic is one of your Grand Arena squads, this one is worth it.

Grogu & Anzellans Mods TL;DR

• Sets – Health set + Defense set, plus a second Health or Defense set based on your best secondaries (Speed set + Health set is a fine alternative)
• Square – Health mod with speed, health & tenacity
• Arrow – Health or Defense mod, Speed focus with health, tenacity & protection
• Diamond – Health mod with speed, health & tenacity
• Triangle – Health or Defense mod, Health focus with speed, tenacity & protection
• Circle – Defense mod, Health focus with speed, tenacity & protection
• Plus – Defense mod, Tenacity focus with speed, health & protection
• Zeta & Omicron – Bad Baby! (Zeta first, Omicron for Grand Arena)
