The Order 66 Raid is the newest raid in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, first announced in late March 2025 and officially named in late June 2025. Based on the events of Star Wars – Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, this raid — also referred to by players as the Revenge of the Sith Raid or Operation Knightfall Raid — centers on the galaxy-changing moment when Palpatine activated Order 66 and the Clone Troopers turned on the Jedi. To support this SWGoH Raid‘s launch, EA Capital Games reworked Grand Moff Tarkin, introduced new Dark Side Clone Trooper characters, and built an entire thematic era around this content in SWGoH.
This page is your complete Order 66 Raid guide. Below you will find how the raid works, the best teams for maximizing your score, all confirmed required characters by faction, and tips that will be updated as the meta develops.
Order 66 Raid – Best Teams
We take a look at the best teams to use in the new SWGoH Revenge of the Sith / Operation Knightfall Raid.
Jedi Master Mace Windu ⭐ Top Score Team
The early meta standout for the Order 66 Raid is Jedi Master Mace Windu paired with the two Jedi Vanguard marquee characters — Depa Billaba and Temple Guard. This combination is capable of hitting the Max Score of 3,600,000 points at the highest tier, making it the most efficient single team in the raid at launch. Both AhnaldT101 and Scrybe Gaming featured videos on this on day one of the Order 66 Raid going live. If you have Jedi Master Mace Windu built and his Jedi Vanguard allies at a solid Relic level, this is your first team in.
Grand Moff Tarkin & Dark Side Clones
The Grand Moff Tarkin and Dark Side Clones team is the most thematically on-point squad in the raid and one of its most effective. Following the Grand Moff Tarkin rework, his synergy with the Imperial Clone Troopers makes this a formidable squad across all raid tiers. Despite Lord Vader being excluded from the raid itself, the Dark Side Clones — RC-1262 “Scorch”, CC-1119 “Appo”, CX-2, and the Disguised Clone Trooper — have strong standalone synergy under a GMT lead.
Notably, you can run a stripped-down version of this team with just Grand Moff Tarkin and Scorch and still score close to the 3.6 million point maximum. This makes it one of the most accessible high-scoring teams in the raid for players who haven’t fully built out the Imperial Clone roster.
Pirates
The Pirate faction has established itself as one of the strongest options in the Order 66 Raid, and for players who have invested heavily into Pirates, this raid is a significant payoff. With three viable squad configurations available, the Pirates offer more roster flexibility than almost any other faction in the raid.
Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka leads the premier Pirate squad and is capable of hitting the Max Score of 3,600,000 points at the highest tier. If you have Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka built and well-modded, this is one of your strongest first-attempt options in the entire raid alongside the Jedi Master Mace Windu squad.
Maz Kanata leads a second viable Pirate team, giving dedicated Pirate faction players a strong follow-up squad after deploying PKHO. With Maz Kanata at the helm, this squad can contribute meaningful scores and makes the Pirate faction one of the best options available.
For players with a less developed Pirate roster, a third configuration built around Hondo Ohnaka, Enfys Nest, and Captain Ithano remains a solid option. Enfys Nest in particular is worth noting — she is capable of soloing lower raid tiers entirely and scoring 300,000 points on her own, making her one of the best options for newer guild members who are still building their roster. SM-33 rounds out the Pirate options and continues to grow in value as the meta develops.
The bottom line for Pirate faction investors: this raid rewards your investment more than most. Between a max-score PKHO team, a strong Maz Kanata secondary squad, and Enfys Nest as a reliable lower-tier solo option, the Pirates may be the single most versatile faction in the Order 66 Raid.
Jedi Vanguard (Remaining Squads)
The Jedi Vanguard faction has a deep character pool, giving guilds strong flexibility in fielding multiple squads across a single raid. However, the traditional Kelleran Beq lineup from the Naboo Raid does not translate well here. Adding Jocasta Nu appears to be essential for improving Jedi Vanguard scores in the Order 66 Raid. Other strong supporting options from the Jedi Vanguard pool include Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, and Aayla Secura. This section will be updated as the community identifies optimal lineups beyond the Mace Windu anchor team.
