Personally I find her stress the only thing that needs to be removed. Her health penalty is annoying but able to work around. I like the idea of her cougar form dealing damage, however, I worry about the power it could be. It could be overpowered.
Whenever her cougar form was stress-free her cougar form was much more than just a sprint. Once they made her cougar form stressed it killed over half of her card set ups and playstyles (that I know of). Now she is one of the weakest raiders in my opinion. Still useful but other raiders can do what she can do and more now.
It's not overpowered considering you'll keep the previous nerfs and you'll rely on conditional affects the way her weapons do
I had this idea because i thought, since they want her to be seen always let her defend herself
I should also add that this form is not affected by cards
You might think that the wall jump from the schleuder is going to make alicia absolete...but i disagree...because alicia got so many advatages already
