@Pigzillion,

My biggest gripes against the "Entropic Enhancement (Explosive Aura)" lies within the fact I personally find it just a bit too "high risk low gain" to the point of being counter-intuitive.

My main concerns fundamentally lie within the fact that:

1: It's based on Water Divination, which is very unreliable as it was introduced extremely early on in the title's life.

2. It's based on Enhancement Nen's property of water expansion which it is shown that it is not powerful enough to crack a coffee mug, even when the Nen user who did it are a very capable Enhancer and they were in foul moods (which would strengthen the Nen) when that happened. Hence it can be roughly concluded that the water expansion would never reached the level of water explosion no matter how hard you try.

3. And even if you do manage to raise your Enhancement to the point of being capable of creating a lethal water explosion just by touching liquids, then why couldn't you just punch people dead seeing you are probably already one of the strongest Enhancer ever in the history of HxH by that point.

4. This ability can not have range, as it is a completely Enhancement ability. And if you mix it with Emission to give it some ranged capabilities, its already not-so-impressive damage would be reduced further, I mean why don't you just use Emission Nen blasts by that point?

I mean, you can use Manipulation that delivers your Nen into someone else's body upon contact which you can add up and detonate any time you please. You can use Emission to just blast out your aura upon contact that depends on how much force you punch/poke/grab/whatever a person. Or you can be the second Genthuru who transmute his aura into explosions so everything he grabs simply dies.

Idk, I think if you have to instantly kill people upon touch through explosions or anything along that line, Enhancement is really the last Nen category you should base your ability on. It just seems a bit too "clutch" if you know what I mean.
