Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes adds Tarfful to the lineup

Tarfful, the Wookiee warrior Star Wars fans saw the return of in the Jedi: Fallen Order video game, has made his way to Galaxy of Heroes.

This new addition to the game closely follows the arrival of other game series characters like Cal Kestis, Cere, and Merrin. Tarfful appears to be arriving in honor of the release of the game’s sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, later this week.

According to the character’s kit details, the newest addition to the ever-growing set of available characters is a Light Side player that can act as both a Leader and Support class. He is best paired with other Smuggler units, but ultimately will battle most effectively with other Wookiee characters.

In fact, the bonuses he offers when other Wookiees are present makes the creation of a Wookiee team very difficult to resist.

Seeing as there are only a handful of Wookiee characters to choose from in the game thus far, it’s nice to see a new furry face added to the fray. Tarfful joins several renditions of Chewbacca (three to be exact), as well as Krrsantan (from the comics and The Book of Boba Fett) and Zaalbar. With the addition of Tarfful, players can now battle with an entire five-unit team of Wookiees. Terrifying? Only for the opposing team. Watch your arms.

Since Tarfful will release as the latest Marquee character (available to unlock in the “Events” section of the game), he will be available to unlock almost immediately. However, getting him fully starred and leveled up will, for the time being, require the use of crystals, real-world currency, or both. Eventually, shards will become available through other (free) methods as other Marquee characters rotate in to replace him.

Tarfful will be available to unlock in the game very soon.
