SWGoH - RotE Territory Battle Special Missions

Rise of the Empire Territory Battles

The Rise of the Empire (RotE) Territory Battle was launched in late 2022 and was built to be a near-permanent piece of the SWGoH experience for high-level players. It has replaced other iterations of Territory Battles in Galaxy of Heroes over the years and the beauty of the event is the ability to grow it and keep adding more to it by the developers at EA Capital Games.

This page will, like the RotE Territory Battle, be a growing document of notes on the best teams to use in the Rise of the Empire (RotE) Territory Battle event. While it began as a guide on how to be successful on the many Special Missions on the map, we have decided to expand this as a hub of sorts for players looking to better prepare themselves for RotE success. There are a variety of Combat Missions and Special Missions across the 6 zones, and this will also force me outside of my own current roster to review and fight a few that are new to me as well. I have started to add notes on the combat missions from Bonus Planets in the RotE Territory Battle, currently limited to Zeffo and Mandalore, but will continue to expand with more of the best teams for the RotE Territory Battles below.

For a full review and synopsis of SWGoH Territory Battles, feel free to review the article we added recently reviewing Hoth, Geonosis and RotE as well.

 

Best Teams for the RotE Territory Battles

 

Phase 1 Special Mission – Corellia

SWGoH - Phase 1 RotE Special MissionRequirements: Qi’ra and Young Han Solo – Relic 5+
My Team: Qi’ra (Leader), Rey, Vandor Chewbacca, L3-37, Young Han Solo
Mod Notes: I have yet to update these characters’ mod guides since transitioning to StarWars-fans.com, but I can tell you that I load Vandor Chewie up with Health from SEE and Qi’ra gets Han Solo’s standard CC/CD mods. No change for Rey and L3 who I have modded very well.

This is a situation where I leveled up Qi’ra and Young Han Solo specifically to beat this mission back in December 2022 and have not regretted that decision at all as it has helped my guild gain a lot of rewards over time. I have not lost this Rise of the Empire Special Mission a single time since implementing this team, and it rewards 15 Mk III Guild Event Tokens, twice a month over a period of 18+ months, so you can do the math if you want. Vandor Chewie and L3 are used at times in other game modes given their utility in this game, and I sometimes use Qi’ra as a leader with Han and Chewie in the GAC as well. YOLO is the weak point of this team as he has little value in SWGoH.

The battle is simple. Pass Bonus Protection to L3 from Rey whenever she does not have Sudden Whirlwind or Heir to the Jedi available, and when Vandor Chewie can, I send the Protection Up to L3 as well. I keep L3 taunting at all times and try to let Rey do the heavy lifting, but Qi’ra and YOLO call each other whenever there are specials needing an assist from a teammate. I save Qi’ra’s middle special, Scattering Blast, for when the enemies have Defense Up or a taunt I do not want to follow. From here the battle is straightforward – just take out the enemies one at a time and kill off the higher-offense enemies first to allow the extra Protection to mount up.

 


Phase 3 Combat Mission – Kashyyyk (5 Wookies)

Requirements: 5x Light Side Wookies – Relic 7+
My Team: Tarrful, Chewbacca, Vandor Chewbacca, Threepio & Chewie, Zaalbar
