Truth be told though all they need to do to bring the whole empire back is give EP a zeta that gives the empire some sort of speed boost or TM to start the match. Maybe like empire and sith allies gain speed up at the begging of the match and whenever a debuff is cleansed.

Even just the 1st half of that zeta would make his squads unbeatable. If you could lead DT tarkin and DN followed by EP and Krennic it would be nerf post city.

Unfortunately since he's DS they would have to balance him more and he'd get his protection and health cut in half :)

Why R2 has 46k health + protection and 157 speed vs. EP's 29k h/p and 122 speed I'll never understand. R2 even has really good debuff ability. That's 59% more h/p! Huge! Doesn't even count his unique that stacks stats. 29% faster as well.

power creep. They're one year apart. Oh, and Yoda is worse than EP too.

The power creep theory only makes sense for pay toons though. Why did CG need to powercreep something they handed out to everyone for free with a VERY easy R2 event? They got minimal $ payoff from the R2 event - he's just highly tuned.

They didn't directly make money with R2, but they did with the Empire packs, with people leveling/gearing/modding their Empire characters, and then with people leveling/gearing/modding R2.

It also shook the meta, and forced people who used Zaul to switch to another team, once again having to level/gear/mod them. It's also a way to ensure that F2P can't compete as well as before, since Zaul was easily accessible to F2P. Now, you need Chaze and DN to make a triple cleanse team, which requires a lot of crystals. And again, more sales and more profit for EA.

Additionally, the R2 event was heavily featured on social media, as well as on the Google Play Store and the App Store. All these ads probably brought many players back or new players in.

The R2 event was a way for them to gain cash through power creep - just not on character packs.
