Sorry. I don't know why I posted that.

The semblance has too many hard limitations to be useful- it's too niche. They would likely require most of the items listed above to even be remotely useful in combat or scouting.

For one, this semblance is less effective against Grimm, as it basically makes them lose most of their defenses, speed, and power in return for partial cloaking that could be replicated using weapons.

Two, this semblance is ineffective for scouting as the user loses their aural sensory abilities unless they leave themselves blurry. Aural sensory abilities at this point in time are assumed by many people to be the most important of a hunter's senses- Fox has ADA and telepathy, and could probably go toe to toe with Neo (his semblance is a definite S- tier for sure). Unless using 95% of the semblance makes the user "invisible" for all the other senses (including aural) this semblance is actually useless for scouting, and even if it does, other semblances like Fox's could likely do the job better as they have an innate way to both sense and escape from opponents (mental shout lowkey pretty good if he unintentionally gives people headaches by being mad).

Three, I see no reason for this semblance to have to lower the user's aural shields. It feels like a limiter got slapped on at the last minute, with no real precedent for such a limit and no explanation tacked on.

Lastly, this semblance is really just a hinderance. If you lose all of your aura, any rapid-fire gun could kill you easily. In combat, losing aura doesn't just mean losing defence- you also lose agility and strength. As for the blurred effect, it simply does not make up for the loss of more than  95% of your aura as even if your weapon is invisible, the way that biomechanics work ensure that your opponent has some idea of when and where you are striking at. Unless they have a extremely large aura pool or their opponent is bad, they will use.

Ultimately, this semblance feels like you wanted to make the Ultimate (insert scout, assassain, rogue), realized that it was broken, and put a limiter on it. This wouldn't really be a problem, but the limiter makes the semblance somewhat like Volume 3 Ruby's in terms of practical usage.
