To unlock Darth Revan in Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes, you must complete all seven tiers of the Scourge of the Old Republic Ancient Journey event. Accessing the final battle requires five specific Old Republic characters promoted to seven stars: Bastila Shan (Fallen), HK-47, Carth Onasi, Canderous Ordo, and Juhani.
Clearing Tier VII efficiently does not require equal investment across all five units. Focus your highest gear and speed on Bastila Shan (Fallen) and HK-47, as they carry the offensive load, control enemy turn meter, and remain permanent fixtures in Darth Revan squads later.
Character Requirements and Gear Targets
Every squad member must be at seven stars to participate in Tier VII. Distribute your gear and ability materials unevenly to conserve resources while ensuring your damage dealers survive incoming enemy bursts.
| Character | Target Gear Level | Primary Role |
|---|---|---|
| Bastila Shan (Fallen) | Gear 11–12 | Disabler; applies Fear, Shock, and Corrupted Battle Meditation |
| HK-47 | Gear 11–12 | Main burst damage dealer; uses Meatbag Mayhem and Havoc |
| Carth Onasi | Gear 9–10 | Leader; inflicts Damage over Time and calls assists |
| Canderous Ordo | Gear 9–10 | Physical attacker; stacks rapid Damage over Time effects |
| Juhani | Gear 9–10 | Tank; absorbs opening damage and provides an emergency stun |
You do not need Zeta abilities on Carth Onasi, Canderous Ordo, or Juhani to complete the event. Reserve your Zeta materials for Bastila Shan (Fallen) or save them for Darth Revan's abilities after unlocking him.
Modding and Turn Order Setup
Configure your mods so that Bastila Shan (Fallen) takes the first turn in every encounter:
- Bastila Shan (Fallen): Equip a Speed set and a Potency set. Prioritize Speed secondaries to make her your fastest unit, ensuring she can apply Corrupted Battle Meditation and Fear before enemies act.
- HK-47: Equip a Critical Damage set with either a Critical Chance or Offense set. Use a Critical Damage or Offense primary stat on the triangle mod so his special attacks defeat targets in one or two hits.
- Carth Onasi and Canderous Ordo: Focus on Potency and Offense secondary stats to maximize the reliability of their Damage over Time debuffs.
- Juhani: Equip Health, Defense, or Protection sets with defensive primaries so she survives enemy opening salvos.
Tactics for Key Event Encounters
Tiers IV and V: Cooldown Management and Droids
- Tier IV (Ajunta Pall): Use Bastila Shan (Fallen) to inflict Shock on Ajunta Pall immediately. Shock prevents him from gaining bonus turn meter and blocks defensive buffs. Avoid using heavy damage abilities on targets protected by retaliation buffs.
- Tier V (War Droids): Direct Canderous Ordo's basic attacks against one droid at a time to stack multiple Damage over Time effects. Finish softened targets with HK-47's Meatbag Mayhem. Save Bastila's Fear ability for the final wave so you can incapacitate side droids while focusing down the primary threat.
Tier VI: Carth and Canderous Duo
Tier VI restricts your squad composition and tests your focus fire. Target enemy support units and snipers first to eliminate incoming daze and defense down debuffs. Have Canderous attack the same target as Carth to trigger bonus attacks and accelerate health burn through bleed effects.
Tier VII: Final Unlock Strategy
The final tier pits your full squad against hallucinations and guardians. Follow this combat sequence to secure the unlock:
- Cast Bastila's Fear immediately: Disable the fastest enemy units before they take turns against your lower-geared Carth or Juhani.
- Apply Shock to the primary target: Keep Shock active on the central boss to shut down healing and turn meter acceleration.
- Delay Juhani's taunt: Wait until enemy dispels are on cooldown before triggering Juhani's taunt, ensuring she absorbs the hardest-hitting single-target abilities away from Bastila.
- Conserve HK-47's burst cooldowns: Use HK-47's basic attack to finish off heavily damaged minions so his special abilities are ready when high-health enemies become vulnerable.
Next Progression Steps
After completing Tier VII and unlocking Darth Revan, immediately allocate gear to him along with Bastila Shan (Fallen) and HK-47. Darth Revan requires three Zeta upgrades—Lord of the Sith, Conqueror, and Villain—to reach peak performance in competitive modes.
Once your core Sith Empire trio is functional, prepare for the Star Forge Showdown event to unlock Darth Malak:
- Complete the Light Side Old Republic journey to unlock Jedi Knight Revan if you have not done so.
- Hoard Guild Event Tokens (GET1), as they are required to purchase Malak shards up to seven stars after clearing his event.
