I'm probably just jaded at this point, but the risk part of risk/reward kinda went away since we cannot control her like we used to.
I personally didn't mind it too much since HW, because the bonuses are pretty good. But if you remove the 3 aetherflow stacks, the kit is going to be way worse than it currently is fun to play with.
If the player agency was there, I would've cared about it.
