Mods in SWGoH

Mods are enhancements in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes and one of the hardest piece of the game for casual players to understand. Below we will try to better explain the main points that players of SWGoH will need to know about mods to be successful in the game. Before we had mods in the game, the same characters always had the same stats at the same gear – and the same speed. Unlike a game like Marvel Strike Force, SWGoH’s character differentiation comes from mods and the many different stats and combinations of all mods, making it near impossible to end up with two identical characters.

Per the site I founded in 2016, Gaming-fans.com: “Mods are broken down into Dots, Levels, Colors/Qualities, Shapes, Sets, Primary Stats, and Secondary Stats. There are 6 Dots/Rarities, 15 Levels, 5 Colors/Qualities, 6 Shapes, 8 Mod Sets, 11 Primary Stats, and 12 Secondary Stats … in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes.”

 

Best Mods for SWGoH Characters

I started this in 2018 over at Gaming-fans.com, where I reviewed a character’s kit to see what the best mods were to enhance their effectiveness in Galaxy of Heroes. I will seek to continue that tradition in 2024 and beyond here with StarWars-fans.com as you can use the links below to click through to new characters in the game and those I have re-reviewed to ensure they are up to the 2024 standards of where the game is today, and where it will be in 2025 and beyond.

 

Quick Mod Rules & Notes:

Mod Sets in SWGoHSome quick SWGoH mod notes to help you dominate the holotables.

  • With a health primary on the Data-Bus, Receiver, Holo-Array or Multiplexer mod, you cannot add percentage health gains in the secondary stats, only flat health gains (thus +428 and not +0.82%). As the game scales and you get into high Relic levels this becomes very important and should always be kept in mind for serious players.
  • Mod sets are always even numbers and you gain bonuses based on these Mod sets. For Speed, Offense and Critical Damage mods, you need a set of 4 of the same type of mod to get the set bonus. For Health, Defense, Critical Chance, Potency & Tenacity mods you only need 2 of those mod types to complete a set.
