But you did say that you factored in "Nen, intelligence, physical attrivutes..." I suppose that includes intel on enemies' strengths and weaknesses.

Countering Autopilot requires that you know 1) how it activates 2) how long it lasts 3) its effect on Shalnark. Given that some of the troupe members already know about his ability means they know how it works. So I don't see Shalnark beating those who know his ability even with autopilot activated and even if it the aura usage is boundless in terms of strength.  Again we're talking overall combat prowess and not instantaneous power ups. To use autopilot mode as if it's Shal's normal state would be wrong.

Fighting with half of their skull crashed? I don't see why that's an advantage. If anything, that only extends the misery of whoever that person is. Sure they can still fight but I doubt it's gonna be a happy ending.

Being impervious to pain? Uvo would be the same. They are all impervious to pain. Gon at a very young age didn't mind losing a limb to fight Genthru... Getting the enemy to cover their ears is the purpose of that shout - mainly to lower one's guard. Hisoka set up the bungee gum on Kastro while he still had one remaining arm. When fighting non-enhancers, the bigbang impact is very effective in that Uvo doesn't really have to hit the enemy. Remember when Youpi launched an attack at the staircase? Shoot wasn't hit directly, and most of them had to find cover to avoid the blast and rocks. Enhancers like Kurapika during ET have better chances than non-enhancers in a fight against the likes of Uvo. That's also partly why Wing said Enhancers are most balanced (offense-defense-wise). I believe combat- type specialists also have a better chance of defeating Uvo.
