Probably worth noting (if it hasn't been already) that the refund works on Youkai, robots, Wraithguard and other summoned units. The refund happens in PVP more frequently than one would normally imagine.

There's no drawback to pressing Exaggerate at the start of a fight for map wide Hesitation outside of very specific, rare circumstances. It's good enough that people frequently use it without RPing the skill to begin with.

I feel the thread linked above provides a deeper look into why Exaggerate can be very oppressive.
