When you actually do the math on ki awoken, it is literally unusable in any scenario. You NEVER get any benefit with it when weighted against the lost hp. Even in the dream scenario with a build designed around using ki awoken, you might break even on extra damage dealt/mitigated vs the hp cost, ignoring the momentum cost of activating it in the first place. This is all assuming you have it activated for one round and one round only as well, any more than that and you are literally just killing yourself for your opponent. I agree that it's one of the most stylish things in the game, but I personally think that it needs a total rework. Stacking worn out debuffs is kind of a nice idea but potentially abusable for basic attackers that don't care much for fp, but I do like the idea of changing up the boost it gives rather than just stats. Just dear lord, remove the hp loss. Even if it didn't stack, it would make the skill basically unusable.
