The dust paint itself kinda works in combat like Myrtenaster in the White Trailer

I also forgot to mention that the shield does have a string to call it back, hence her want to install some kind of disc launcher for range reasons.

Her Semblance doesn't directly copy another Semblance, it more so takes one aspect of it that she understands, like if she sees Blake do her shadow thing, Lilo will probably only use the fact that the Blake Shadow gets hit.

And the Projector part comes from how the inner mechanisms of the shield project the dust off the shield. Let's say if Ruby shot at Lilo while she was using Gravity Dust, the dust would propel the bullets back at her. Or how ice dust would freeze her attacker in place after a strike.

Myrtenaster works by spraying powder dust into the blade. pure dust.

using it as paint increases the weight needlessly.

That semblance sounds absolutely awful. just fucking terrible.

And you are not really explaining how it works, if anything that description is more confusing. First off, yes the Semblance is total dogshit, it doesn't even work half the time. It's actually the point. It even gets Lilo killed after she attempts to copy Neo and she just shatters.

Second, I see where I screwed up here. I meant that the shield sprays the paint onto the shield, sorry for the confusion. I'm a little tired right now so I see my explanation is... Lacking
