Flashpoints + Operations

Karagga’s Palace

Assault on Tython

Blood Hunt
Hard Mode

  • Reduced the health of the Mandalorian Hunters in the Kyramla Gemas’rugam encounter by 17%
  • Kyramla Gemas’rugams’ “Ground Smash” Ability no longer causes players hit by them to be held in place for an extra 1-2 seconds before the impact is properly registered.

Czerka Core Meltdown
