Hunting down space pirates in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is an easy job if you know where to look.
And that is exactly what I am here for with today’s article: I will tell you which are the best nodes to complete quickly to defeat 50 pirates (either with Ezra Bridger) or any amount for any mission other than that.
This way, you will know exactly where to go and who to bring to minimize time spent completing this mission and maximize rewards. Let’s jump right i!
Defeat 50 Pirates with Any Version of Ezra Bridger present

The main massive headache is the objective asking you to defeat 50 Pirates with any version of Ezra Bridger present. This means that he just needs to be in the squad, not destroy the amount of pirates with him alone.
To complete this mission quickly, pair Ezra with fast characters or Phoenix allies packing heavy Area of Effect (AoE) attacks. Throw Captain Rex or Sabine Wren into the mix – or, honestly, any solid high-level characters you have, as the pirate farming locations are easy to beat.
Note: Defeat 10 Pirates with Vane present & Other Quests
While the main pirate-related quest is the one I mentioned above, you might have a quest asking you to defeat pirates with Vane present (and various other quests). For all of them, the nodes below will work just fine.

Best nodes in SWGOH to defeat pirates

Do not blindly tap through the holotables hoping for the best – the locations I am listing below are the best for destroying multiple pirates in a single run
Light Side Battles Normal 6-E: This is the golden goose. It costs 8 energy per battle and spawns 10-11 pirates each time. You will finish the 50 kills in just 5 attempts, so it is the easiest of the bunch.
Cantina 2-D: Another incredibly cheap option sitting at 8 energy. You get 8 to 10 pirates per run, letting you finish the feat in 5 to 6 attempts.
Cantina 3-D: The pirate spawn rate drops noticeably here. However, this node awards POW (Padawan Obi-Wan) shards. If you need for that specific character, the slower pirate count is a fair trade.
JAKKU 8-A: A highly reliable alternative if you are farming other gear on this table. You will encounter around 6 to 7 pirates per mission.
Tatooine 8-A: This one mirrors Jakku perfectly. Expect to see around 6 to 7 pirates per mission here as well.
SWGOH Pirates Located In Mod Battles
For the Vane mission specifically, you might have to check out the Mod Battles instead. These also yield a fair number of pirates:
- Mod Battles 2-F: 7 pirates.
- Mod Battles 2-D: 5 pirates.
- Mod Battles 2-E: 2 pirates.
