Ranking the Galactic Legends for 2026 in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes!

[music] [music] Well, greetings and hello there everyone. It is I, your beloved Star Wars Dead Noos to Good. And yes, we are at that time of year again once again where we return to thinking about uh ranking things and how our Galactic Legends are looking.

And it's time to rank the Galactic Legends in Star Wars Galaxy Heroes for 2026 until we get our next Galactic Legend and it throws the whole thing up in a kilter and everything else. The order this year, I mean, last year we ranked them one through nine and we've moved a lot around this year. A lot of changes have happened that have impacted Galactic Legends and farming in general in Star Wars Galaxy, but specifically uh Galactic Legends.

The the the rankings are different, much different than they were last year at this time when we did this video. So, let's talk first about the parameters that I'm using to rank the Galactic Legends. At the top of it is their utility, their performance in game.

And for me, my performance in game, I'm generally looking at when I look at a GL collection, I'm looking at their performance in Grand Arena above all other game modes. Of course, territory wars, territory battles, squad arena, I guess, I don't know, conquest, what, you know, those those all come into play and they're all important. Um, but Grand Arena rises above as far as performance when we're looking at when I'm looking at it because I'm ranking them.

So, when I'm looking at it, that kind of rises above and I think most of you are the same way as well. um accessibility to the player base. How accessible or farmable or or uh available is this Galactic Legend to the entire player base?

You know, is it easy to farm this Galactic Legend? Is it difficult? Is there a lot involved?

Do I have to get like relic eights, relic 9ines? Do I, you know, got to farm eight different teams? Whatever.

How accessible is is the uh do I have to buy their bundle or I'm not really going to farm them anyway? That's that's important in ranking the Galactic Legends. Uh return on investment is the third big thing we look at.

You know, we have several Galactic Legends like Jaba and Hondo that have big mod events that they get. Ahsoka now has a great return on on investment. Um so we'll look at those for those Galactic Legends.

And finally, for me, as I mentioned all the time, it comes down to fun. Am I having fun playing with this Galactic Legend? Do I enjoy trotting them out onto the holo tables and having my way with the other team or getting slaughtered by nothing?

That's what this comes down to. Those are our four ranking criteria. We'll talk about that with each of these individual black legends.

But without any further ado, let's jump in. We will start at number 10. You were my boy, Blue.

Uh this is a big drop. I had I had Jedi Master Luke ranked much much higher last year. And I think primarily, if I remember correctly, primarily he was ranked higher due to his accessibility.

You know, when you when you go after Jabba and you go after Leia, you know, you can get Jedi Master Luke pretty easily. You just got to go off to a little side journey of Jedi Training Ray, get Ma Mothma, and boom. Oh, Jedi Master Luke is on your roster, and he is a galactic legend.

But this guy, he's kind of a turd burger. I don't know what to say at this point. He really does not perform at all in Grand Arena.

Even with Jedi Knight Calessus on his team, uh, Jedi Master Luke is not a guy you're going to throw out there against any other Galactic Legends. He's not a guy you're going to put out there on defense. He's going to beat some of the higher tier non-galactic legend teams, but is that really what these guys are here for?

Like, if he can't compete against any other Galactic Legends, I know a lot of you guys get um some use out of Jedi Master Luke by cheesing feats and conquest, and that's great. I don't really view that as super valuable. And you know, maybe I'm missing the boat or I say it all the time, maybe I missed the boat.

But I don't view a Galactic Legend who helps me cheese conquest feats. Like that's the bottom of the list for me. Like really, I can find ways to do that stuff without the cheese.

And other game even in territory battles, he's not that great in wrote. [music] Um he's not that great in TWW. So Jedi Master Luke just comes in dead last for me.

Even though he is fairly accessible, there's no return on investment at all. And I'm just I I don't think he's fun. I don't really enjoy the character.

Every time I throw him out there, I'm either disappointed or I'm happy to beat like Jedi Master Mace Woo. Lahy freaking dah. All right.

Well, anyway, coming in at number nine, kind of in a similar situation, Sith Eternal. Now, out of all the Galactic Legends in the game, Sith Eternal is the easiest, most lowhanging fruit farm. You can farm Sith Eternal on your roster very easily.

Free to play. uh you can buy the bundles, but really if you if you play the game for a couple of years, you know, if you played for that long or you're going to play that long, you might look at down at your roster, it might even be a shorter period now with with how they're doing it. You might look down at your roster and say, "You know what?

I've got uh I've got most of the requirements for Sith the Turtle already farm. I just need to go get Director Krennic and maybe Relic, Darth Maul, and Darth Cidius and boom, I'm off to the races. I got Sith the Turtle.

" So, he's very easy to farm. He's not that useful. He's again, he's not very good in territory battles.

He's not very good in conquest. He's not very good in territory wars. Um, when you pair him with Darth Bane, he can do some work.

Like, he can beat Lord Vader with that, but he's got to have Darth Bane on his team. And the problem with I mean, a lot of these Black Legends have lifters. You know, even Jedi Mash Luke has Jedi Knight Cal as a lifter kind of.

Um, you know, Sith the Turtle has Darth Bane as a lifter, but the problem is that Darth Bane kind of peels off by himself to do a bunch of stuff. So, you really just most time don't even want to use Darth Bane with Sith Turtle. You want to find you want to use Dark Bane on his own doing stuff and Sith the tternal actually doesn't even really add all that much to Dark Bane with the current crowns that are out and this will change over you might be watching this later in the year.

So I just bring Sith the Turtle easy to get no return on investment performance is just in the crapper and you end up using him normally to kill non-galactic legend teams and you never put them on defense in Grand Arena. Now, with all that said, I should say if you're an early gamer and you get a hold of Jedi Master Luke or or Sith Eternal early on, they by all means are going to be really good down in the lower levels. You know, if you're in Carbonite, Bronzeium, Chromium, even like lower levels of of um of uh what's the next one?

Aium. My brain's not working. Um yeah, I think it's a rodium.

Hold on. I'm I'm going to look here real quick. You can't see me looking.

I don't know why, but my brain's not working. It is officially a rodeium. Yes.

Uh, he'll be okay. He'll be these guys will be all right there, but just when you get up to Kyber, it's just they're just kind of they become side guys that you don't really use very often. Uh, Lord Vader.

Now, Lord Vader takes a lot of heat and he always has. It started with when he when he first came [music] out. Uh Jenny Master Kenobi had Commander Ahsoka and Lord Vader did not have Maul who at the time was his lifter and he couldn't beat anybody.

I mean he was bad bad bad. Now Lord Vader took a big step up this year with the clones dropping in. The biggest problem with Lord Vader, you know, he's he's a good defensive GL.

He makes your opponents use teams that they you know they exhaust teams they shouldn't use other places or you know in the right situation they might fail on Lord Vader. Um, the biggest thing about Lord Vader is he's really, really expensive. You got to go through his entire farm, which includes relic 8 gas and relic 8 padme.

You got to get the gas team up. You got to get a whole bunch of other teams in there. And then once you get all that done, you got to go farm the dark side clones to add in there as well.

You got to farm the bad batch. There are a lot of newer Kyotech characters and teams you got to farm from, including the new dark cyclones that are not even double shard farmable as of recording of this video. So, he has value in Grand Arena.

He does all right in territory battles and and I really used him much. He Well, he's good in conquest. He's good in conquest, actually.

Um, so he outperforms these two for sure in game modes. Um, he just really takes a lot of effort and work to get him farmed. I see a lot of you guys have farmed him as your first Galactic Legend.

I don't recommend that. There's no return on investment there. You do get some Sith characters that can work for places of power, I guess.

But, you know, [music] I don't know. Or Empire characters. I'm just Lord Vader comes in at number eight.

I I actually like him and I do think he's a good character in the game and he just he just requires a lot of investment for a lot of teams and then like most of those teams you use to unlock him go to the wayside. The Bad Batch anyway. They use him for marauder and that's about it.

Ahsoka, I I struggle with seven and six. Seven and six kind of went back and forth for me. You'll see six here in a second.

I dropped in Ahsoka here at number seven. Um primarily due to the expensiveness of of her farm. Um she requires three relic 9 characters.

All the Ahsokas have to be relic 9 to get her. Um you got to have gas again to get her. You know the the ga gas is kind of the that backside.

Right. So when we we look at the game, Luke opens up the front side of your farming with with you know Jabba and Leia and Jedi Master Luke and and CLS and all you know those great teams and he's easy to get and then gas is much harder to unlock and then opens up the backside which starts with Lord Vader and Ahsoka and then Pyro King onto Anaka. So Ahsoka is um expensive.

She does have the return on investment. She has that one. It's not called an assault battle but it's a mini assault battle and it's pretty good.

It's good. It's got It's got good rewards in there like some Relic 9 rewards you get every month. It is good stuff.

Absolutely. Um she's not very fun to play with. Um she really falls short there for me.

Like she's she has a she has utility in all game modes. If she doesn't have Ezra on her team, she's pretty easy to beat. And I don't think anybody I shouldn't say that there there are probably a few of you out there that that like to like to take Galactic Legend Ahsoka and control the team and and but just generally speaking, you know, she's going to be put on defense for Grand Arena most of the time cuz you know, she does she's beefy and she could take a while to kill.

Um I I I just don't think most people find her team like super fun to play with. There's not Yeah, there's not a lot going on there. Like, it's just it's kind of a timeout team, which most people don't find very interesting.

It's just built to be a timeout team rather than something that kills everybody. So, there you go. SOA number seven.

And I, like I said, I was mix and match. This guy has fallen a lot. And [music] I could easily have reversed these two just because Ahsoka does have return on investment.

And they might you might want to flip these two just because Ahsoka does have return on investment with her mini assault battle. Jedi Master Kenobi is kind of like Sith the Turtle in a lot of ways. If you play the game for a couple years, you might look down at your roster and just look down and say, "All I need is Akira and um and uh and and Cody and Clone Sergeant and I can take I can go Jedi Master Kenobi and and I I need to make sure I have Commander See, you better have Commander Ahsoka or he is just Gas can smoke him too.

" Gas smokes a lot of these guys without their lifters unfortunately, including Jedi Master Kenobi. Um maybe Lord Vader. Uh probably Jedi Master Luke and Sith the Turtle.

No, Curt actually solos gas and Ray. You know, a lot of these teams are it's really important to put the full team together and with Jedi Master Kenobi, he's got to have Commander Ahsoka on his team or he's just kind of a poop fest, right? And even then even then his utility in the game has really waned off a lot at this point.

I mean, he just kind of he's slowly faded. He's kind of a guy that you can use to take out Jaba or to do some things out there, but just not performing. when he first came out, he was just just just to the wall, man.

Like, Jedi Master Kenobi dominated this game for about a year and then still was really really really good for another year and he's just kind of falling off a little bit these days. So many so many teams and characters have these, you know, anti-instill mechanics [music] and and uh it's just it just isn't quite what he used to be. He doesn't have any return on investment.

He's definitely going to be cheaper than Ahsoka to get his GL legend. He's definitely going to perform all the way through Kyber for you. you know, you will find uses for him.

He used to be a defensive wall that nobody could get through, but I'm bringing in J Masc. He beats Ahsoka just because he's easy to farm and you'll get there naturally over time. I could have flicked these very easily and been been perfectly happy with that.

Hondo Onaka. Now we he's kind of the round out. You can see we if we go through this here on our last we got uh Galactic Republic, Galactic Republic, Galactic Republic, and gas is required for Hondo Naka.

not Galactic Republic, but gas is required here. So, it takes a lot of effort and time and you need all those relic 9ines for Hondo Onaka as well. So, there is a big effort and and big farm required.

The requirements are really large for Hondo Onaka. Not to mention that the pirates are still only single shard farmable in Star Wars Galaxy. So, it's hard to get your hands on those pirates freeto play.

There are no uh um lighteed bundles for him yet. Now, Hondo Naka has one big benefit, and that is Smugglers Run Three. We talked about Smugglers Run 2 with Jabba a little bit, and it's the exact same thing with Hondo.

It's Smugglers Run Three, and it's just you you when you get them unlocked, you auto your way through it. That's what I did anyway. I haven't been relic 9.

I just auto my way through it. Hondo Anaka has a lot of value there. And I'll tell you what, in in the game, he is just performing.

He is performing. And he's a fun I I I have fun playing with Hondo. I think he's a lot of fun.

I like his kit. I like the characters around him. SME is a lot of fun with him.

Um, I really like Hondo. He's just he drops down to here even with the return on investment, he drops down to number five just because he is still to this right now. He's the newest Galactic Legend and he's still hard to get your hands on.

There's a lot of work and farming that needs to happen to get your hands on Hondo Onaka. Coming in at number four is Ray. Now, I think there's some caveats to put in here.

Ray is a pretty easy farm. you know, those first Galactic Legends, they're pretty easy. She was the first one, and her and Kyla were the first one the same day.

Um, but almost nobody, there are very few, very, very, very few people that will farm Ray free to play without buying the light speeded bundles that are permanent in the game. Most people are going to buy those lighteed bundles and farm Ry that way. So, she's it's an easy farm to do.

Most people aren't doing it freeto play. Ray with the right team around her with Ben Solo, maybe some Unaligned Force users. You might throw um Ezra Exile in there [music] is an absolute baller on Grand Arena defense.

I think we've all run into raid teams that we couldn't beat and just wiped it. She is a machine. Okay, now the problem is that without those guys, gas beats her.

So if you don't have the I mean not not perfectly but if you don't have the lifters Ben Solo Unline force users Ezra exile etc. So basically you have to be into proving grounds have those some of those proving grounds characters unlocked like Ben Solo and Ezra like you mentioned you got to have the team around her [music] to really make her work properly. Like you put resistance hero Finn and Po on there it's just not going to be that difficult of team.

So Ray is really really really good on defense with the right team around her. She's an easy farm, very accessible with light speeded bundles as well, permanent light speeded bundles in the game. You can get her unlocked um without the right teams.

She's older. She just doesn't perform at the levels you'd want her to perform at as a Galactic Legend without those correct support units around her. Like we mentioned, coming to the top three now, guys, if you want to look at night and day as far as maintaining performance over a long period of time, Supreme Kylo versus the rest of these GL's, his relevance in game is as important as it's ever been.

The guy kills almost every other Galactic Legend. He's taking out Pirate King Hondo Anaka. He takes out Ray.

He's taking out Leia. The guy just kills everything, especially not with Dark Side Ray on the team. That's your proving grounds character.

But he works without Dark Side Ray as well. It's a cheap farm, much exactly like Ray. Cheap farm.

It's out of your way to go get him free to play, but people do farm. people do farm Supreme Leader Kylo Ren free to play because even though his farm is out of the way, it does overlap with the finalizer because to get sorry, it overlaps with the executive, you know, uh because to get the finalizer, you got to go farm those bounty hunter ships. So, there's a lot of overlap there with executive, which is a very positive thing.

You got to go farm all those uh those [music] first order characters or go buy the likes bundle for them. And by the way, that live bundle is 10 bucks. It cost you 30 bucks to unlock spring there in the game basically and well worth it.

High performer all game modes. The guy is just has been a beast from beginning to end. He is making it happen.

He is crushing to this day. And by the way, they keep just throwing data at us that make him really awesome. So first order special versus tie pilot spring the Kylo.

I mean it was a year it was a great year for Kylo. He is still just really really good. No specific return on investment for either one of these two right here, but the cheapness of their farms, their accessibility, their functionality in game.

Ray's got the right characters. Kylo performs. He's just really, really, really good.

I love that guy. Uh, this is a big difference, guys. This is a big difference for me.

Sanja is is is celebrating right now. Um, Jabba has been my number one galactic legend for a couple of years now. number one as far as you got to get them unlocked first.

Number one as far as he gives you the um he gives you the smugglers run two which gives you all sorts of mod materials like 10,000 crystals worth of mod materials every single month. He is accessible with the farming for him in the game. Light speed tokens you can farm right now to get you to Jabba pretty pretty efficiently.

Um he overlaps with Leia, he overlaps with Luke, you know, Jedi Knight Lucaser. you can get Jabba and make great things happen on your roster. As far as your mods go, as far as utility in the game, he's required in Rise Empire territory battles.

Every single middle territory has a required Jaba battle in there. So, he's required for one battle every time you do rote. [music] Um, he's still performing.

He's not the performer he used to be in Grand Arena, but especially in like 3v3 Grand [music] Arena, he can really put a rock into somebody's shoe in a big big way. like 3v3 he's really difficult to beat. You put the right data out there with a bunch of potency, he could I mean he you can still field a Java team that can cause some real problems for your opponent or at least make them use something big like supreme leader Kylo Ren to beat Jabba.

The main thing about Jabba is he's accessible. His return on investment is huge and he is huge. He was the first large character.

There's only one other great mothers, but job of the Hut really, really, really good all across the board in Star Wars Galaxy Heroes. I mean, he's not he's just really good. I love Jabba, but with all that said, they've just made Leia too easy to unlock for me not to have her in this slot.

She has a minimal return on investment which is you know there's a a endor escalation battle or whatever and she gets one omocrron and some other stuff you know minor stuff out of that every month. Um she's a bone crusher dude. I mean Leia counters pretty much everybody except for maybe Kylo.

Isn't that crazy? The son beats the mother. Anyway, Leia is like a counter to everything.

She performs in every game mode in this game. [music] And now they've made it so you can unlock her free to play in four to five months. And then she leads you into Jabba and she leads you into Jedi M.

Look, if you want them, she leads you I mean she'll lead you into Exeutor. You got to you're going to end up getting Chewbacca for that CLS team which is bounty hunters which get you to executive and finalizer which gets you to [music] her farm like bleeds into so much other stuff while she's also an amazing performer in all game modes and while she is also going to be free to play available within a few months of playing the game. What am I supposed to say here?

What? How is there any other decision than Lao Orana as the number one? And by the way, one second.

for a little [music] boy, for a little boy who fell in love with Leia Orana many, many, many years ago. 48 years ago, 1977. This This is my bubblegum card.

Spirited Princess Leia. For a little boy whose first love was Princess Leia, it does my heart good to see Leia Orana [music] at the top of the at the top of the stack. And there you go.

That is your Galactic Legend rankings for 2026 in Star Wars Galaxy Heroes. Let me know in the comments. I'd love to hear from you guys what you think, where your rankings are, where they fall.

Uh did I miss anything? Do I have like is Ahsoka too low? Whatever.

I want to hear from you guys. That might be the one where I think people might get the most uh most kurfuffle is is the old uh the old Ahsoka versus Jedi Master Kenobi thing. H I don't know.

We'll see. We'll see what you guys think. I'd love to hear from all of you guys.

I hope you all have a great day. I will talk to all of you very soon. And of course, always remember, nooch to good.
