With the recent 0.40 Cantina update, all Battles, except for Fleet Battles, have had a structural overhaul.
Structural and reward changes
Reduced encounters per battle. Each tier now has 1-2 battles, with the second battle being a ‘Boss’ encounter.
7 new battles added to each of the Light Side (Hard) and Dark Side (Hard) campaigns, distributed across tiers 6-9.
Cantina Battles have a new 9th tier of 7 additional battles.
Includes first-time rewards of Zeta and Omicron materials.
Omicron drops moved from Tier 8 battles to Tier 9.
Tier 8 nodes that previously dropped Omicron materials now drop Zeta materials instead.
Mod Battles have been cut down from 9 tiers to 2.
Tier 1 consists of the same rewards as Tier 3 of Mod Challenges, but still requires 10 Mod Energy per battle, compared to 16 for Mod Challenges.
Tier 2 is identical to the previous Tier 9. It rewards Mod Slicing materials, but now unlocks earlier at player level 60.
Mod Challenges will continue to be available in the Challenges tab of the Events table until the campaign changes go live, at which point Mod Challenges will be permanently removed from the game. (With quests requiring completion of these challenges updated or removed.)
