Hi Holotable Heroes,
Today we are launching a new piece of content for high level guilds who have mastered the other raids, The Pit Challenge Tier!
The Pit: Challenge Tier
The Challenge Tier for The Pit raid requires a high level Guild to work closely together in order to complete. While the rewards will help you power up your squads even further, the event is intended to challenge a guild as whole. As a result, it will be very difficult for a player or even a handful of guildmates to complete. Similar to Heroic Raids, Guilds will have 48 hours to complete this event. Since the Challenge Tier is designed to require cooperation, we have opted for a flatter prizing structure to reduce some of the friction in-guild while still acknowledging degrees of participation and success. In short, every player who participates will earn the new Level 8 Relic Amplifier material, Aeromagnifiers.
The event is available to all Guilds right away but only Relic 5 characters and up are allowed to participate. The Challenge tier uses a new type of ticket and is a completely separate event in the Guilds tab. Which means Guilds will be able to participate in the Challenge Tier while simming the regular The Pit like before.
Launch Cost: 180,000 Tickets
Note: Ticket cap for The Pit (Challenge) tickets is 210,000 Tickets. Guilds will receive an initial credit of 210,000 tickets when their Guild Leader logs in for the first time.
Below, we’ve highlighted in blue[/color] all the mechanical changes compared to the original raid.

Relic 8
The Challenge Tier of The Pit provides a variety of top tier rewards but it also rewards an exclusive item needed for the next level of Relic Amplifiers. Level 8 Relic Amplifiers require 20 each of two new Relic materials. The first material, Impulse Detectors, is created from salvage; the other material, Aeromagnifiers, are unique to the Challenge Rancor Raid.
We wanted Relic 8 to initially have a raid-exclusive aspect in order to give Guilds some new goals to work toward and at the same time, reinforce the core gameplay for Guilds in Galaxy of Heroes. Here’s how many Aeromagnifiers you can earn (in addition to other rewards) from completing the Challenge Tier.
Note: There is a visual bug that only shows Reward Ranks 1, 2, 6-10, 11-25, 26-40, 41-50. Ranks 3-5 have the same rewards as Rank 2.
This event will be live later today. Stay tuned for the Update Notes and see you on the Holotables!
