Exactly why Orihime from Bleach sucked. Her power allowed her to straightup reverse shit. She took away a dude's scar, and his tattoo that used to be where the scar formed was still in tact. She brought the protagonist back to life after he'd been impaled through the heart. The only way to have any good guys actually die was for her to just not be in the area. 1. Considering his Semblance doesn't discriminate, they really should've had bad luck happening to characters on both sides. I can't tell if Weiss accidentally launching herself backwards into a pillar was just her losing concentration or bad luck or what.

2. Er, how would it have been handy against Tyrian? So far, the SEW powers have only been stated to affect Grimm, and it's questionable whether or not it affects all Maidens or if Cinder is a special case due to using a Grimm to steal the Maiden powers. Either way, Tyrian is neither Grimm nor Maiden and has not been shown to use a Grimm artifact. 1. Actually, Orihime scked because Kubo just wanted her there to be a love interest and nothing else. Her healing powers really weren't that great and she could have been easily replaced by the 4th squad - which was a healing squad. She revived Ichigo because Deus Ex Machina, not because of her powers. At no point,it's said that her powers manage to bring people from the death by screaming their name a lot and it's something that didn't happen before or after that point. Honestly, there are a ton of semblance that could easily lead to overpower: Emerald and the Schnee, for example. I think it'sabout having a drawback. For example, Emerald gets headaches and pretty clear that she doesn't like using it more than 1 a day. So far, the only thing that it causing the Schnee semblance not to be an overpower is that Weiss is just not that great of a fighter compared to professional huntsmen.

2.1 I think you are thinking Qrow's semblance is far more effective than it actually is. When it worked on Tyrian, they're standing in a rooftop that hadn't even been completed. Also, the wooden plank was already partially broken.

2.2 Agree on Cinder being affected by SEW because of how she got the power not because of the power itself.
