But double the critical chance to the weapon is pretty good for the episode too.

Actually, the raids seem to be introduced to even the playing field to give T2 players and lower a chance against stronger decks. Remember, initally, it was stated that there would be no new cards for PVP and it would be a currect deck configuration from your own available cards vs another under the same stipulations. However, now we have raids with high defense so that they will not be one shotted by a card of the next higher tier. Thus, T2 decks with a T2 Acid Storm fair better against T1 decks and T3 decks vs T2 decks with a Vortex will fair better and etc. It is also a purchasing gimmick. But I hope that they does not require an elaborate explaination to understand.

DeNa is continually creating more inbalances. I hope that these new weapon abilities are tested before they release them.
