Sith Eternal emperor got a stealth nerf instead of a buff yesterday... When they fixed the so-called "bug" That allowed protection drain to go negative It had negative unintended consequences for the Eternal Emperor.

With the new update the emperor's link ability no longer continues to boost his own protection stats beyond the linked heroes maximum protection. Working as intended or not The way the skill worked allowed Sith Eternal Emperor to be at least somewhat competitive because he could continue to gain maximum protection from enemies that were already drained.

Now as a result of this change, Sith Eternal Emperors survivability has dropped even further. Where he may have in the past been able to survive big hits from Kylo or from Rey, his ability to do that is even more greatly diminished.

So, now a galactic legend that was already very controversially weak is even weaker. It's pretty clear to eternal emperor owners and the Sith community that CG once again did not test this update or how it might impact other heroes even galactic legends who may have been benefiting from it.... Seems like in this instance they only were looking at its impact to Malak, and potentially fives in the KAM mission.

In any case Eternal Emperor has become even less viable in the last 24 hours thanks to this update. For the love of God CG please.

Thanks for raising this! We check with the team if this was intended.

After checking with the team it was working the same way before the update, meaning SEE wasn't gaining any Protection from enemies with 0 max Protection.
As for the issue with "Deceived" not spreading when SEE is transformed into his ultimate, we have already flagged this as a bug.
