Here are the goods, the news, the updates for 1/15/2017. Cheers!

WHATS NEW
You've all been speculating some interesting guesses for February's daily login character (and some of you have been right on the money!), but Kylo Ren will be the daily Login character for February, complete with some exciting new improvements. Please look forward to them.

NEW CHARACTERS

• Director Krennic
  
• Death Trooper
  

SPECIAL OPERATIONS
The Special Operations event will soon be underway! Get ready to earn shards for Director Krennic and one of his Death Troopers in an all-new limited time event Here’s a sneak peek at Director Krennic and his Death Trooper:

• Director Krennic: Dark side Empire support character
  
• Standard Abilities: Inflicts Stun, Ability Block, and Buff Immunity for 2 turns
  
• New debuff: Stagger! Similar to Expose, but removes all Turn Meter
  
• Leader ability: Enables Critical Chance + Potency Empire squads, with extra Ability Blocks
  
• Can't be Critically Hit while Death Trooper is present
  

• Death Trooper: First Empire unit with an AOE Dispel
  
• Standard Abilities: Inflicts Daze and Stun
  
• Debuff: Inflicts Deathmark
  

CITADEL PACK
The Citadel Pack appears after the start of the final tier of the Special Operations event. Each pack guarantees 5 shards of Director Krennic or Death Trooper with a chance to get 30 shards!

YODA & PALPATINE EVENTS
Starting in March, we will begin rotating the Grand Master's Challenge with the Emperor's Demise Event every other month. These events will still take place on the second Thursday of the month and will last for 7 days. Yoda will run in February, Palpatine in March, Yoda in April, etc. For more information, please see @EA_Jesse’s Events Information post for updates on all event schedules.

IMPROVED GUILD CHAT NOTIFICATIONS
Your guild chat has been updated with the following changes:

• Changed notification from 4* and higher to 7* only
  
• Changed notification from gear level VII and up to gear level IX and up
  

SHARD SHUFFLE
Shoretrooper has been added to Light Side battles (HARD) Tatooine 9-B

BUGS
Fixed a bug that prevented the Target Lock bonus of First Order TIE Fighter's Strafe ability from triggering if the target is defeated by the attack
Cassian Andor: Will now prioritize "Shock Grenade" over other abilities when under AI control
Fixed a bug that caused the AAT's turret to deal massive damage to Boba Fett even when he has the Bounty Hunter's Resolve buff.

WHAT’S AHEAD

A disturbance echoes through the galaxy. Residing in shadow and hungry for power…
