Her potentially being the most powerful character in the series by ripping off other people is EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I HAVE. Honestly, it is total bullshit. She's like a fucking walking deus ex machina with that sort of ability.

"you didn't see it but offscreen i took a tour of the Atlesian ships and got pictures of the main gun battery"


 * spawns massive cannonand oneshots giant grimm

And at least half of the weapons she used the pictures were, indeed, taken off-screen.

Hell, what's stopping her from taking pictures of a paladin and just insta-spawning a giant mech suit?

literally nothing.

She obviously has some kind of limit. In the Volume 2 finaley Coco stopped her from using her weapon saying, "Hey you spent all semester building that up, don't waste it on these guys."

As I mention previously Velvet most likely burns through her wire frame weapons very quickly. The fact that she switches what weapon she uses every few seconds supports this.

Also she has to get a good detailed shot of something in its entierty before she can replicate it. She might be able to replicate a Paladin but I doubt she can replicate a Militery ship.
