I feel like a shield bash of that sort wouldn't necessarily need to lower his guard. An attack using a high Defense stat is no more absurd than an attack that completely ignores a target's Defense, after all; it just so happens that Metar is completely focused in Defense, which obviously has massive drawbacks in other notable areas.

• Automatic reaction on a Skill: As it is a skill, this usually implies that you activate it to provide an effect, not that the ability activates itself on certain conditions. Those things are more common for Traits. A solution is to, simply put, turn this into a trait. But if this happens, then another problem becomes a bigger issue...
• Energy consumption in an automatic reaction: Traits are not intended to expend energy, but it is allowed for them to do so as drawbacks for particularly powerful effects.that can be fixed with other traits that provide more energy, or bigger energy regeneration.
• Reaction Time: As it is a reaction, the moment when it activates is a bit of a problem. If it's a skill, it can only activate in your turn, which makes it kind of useless when you have to react to enemy actions. A solution, which is (IMO) the most effective, is to give yourself a one-use buff that allows you to react to enemy actions, triggering an action of yours. This allows the skill to keep being a skill, and gives more control on its reaction time and, consequently, on your energy meter.

Also, when leveling up, the meter starts at 0. Surplus XP is added to that number

@Genni Level: 2. (1/100 XP)

@Eklispe Seems good. To even things up, spend an extra 4 StP and 1 SkP before I bring up the new enemy. This way, you won't get curbstomped by the enemies.

• Blindside - Whenever Phantom would successfully attack an enemy while using his Stealth skill, the resulting attack will deal 1.5x damage [applied before any defense calculations], as well as dispelling Stealth.

Actually I'm a little confused now. In the Character tab you've listed Meat Mallet's Health as 11, but in the IC you used 15 and now changed it to 16 after upgrading.

• Float Like A Butterfly - Bumblebee hovers several feet in the air, making her immune to any ground-based attacks or status effects.

Could I Train, to gain some XP perhaps? Or attack one of the others for target practice?

It seems a bit excessive to have her immune to all ground effects. Perhaps give the Trait a power drain of 1 Energy/Turn or something, since she'd be burning fuel to stay aloft?

Do it! Shoot somebody!

I would advise against shooting Meat Mallet though. That would be a grave mistake.

Traits: Lockon Every attack that Shinon makes on a target adds 1 stack of Lockon to it. For every stack of Lockon that a target has Shinon deals 1 additional damage when attacking it.

ya I think a stack of 3 sounds reasonable. Infinite stacking is a little strong.
