@Matsu Why is it hard to control its attacks? It's still him. Semblances may activate when under emotional duress, but they don't have a mind of their own. Weiss's boarbatusk only went for the lady because she was focused directly on her (and there are theories that it wasn't Weiss's boarbatusk at all, but Whitley's designed to make her look bad). Every other semblance has activated to do the natural reaction of the person who is stressed, not made it hard to control attacks, and only under duress.

Heck, when Pyrrha was stressed she could still control her semblance just fine, even if it activated by itself.
