I can only say that I'm sorry, if I was off-topic (next I will try to demostrate why I wasn't). At the end of the day this was a topic about the guide for the 0.28.x public update and Varia's status as a OP cannon is a relevant topic seeing that:

a) In Aram, she is a mandatory party member (of just three, or even two for the players without Altina in some cases, party members).

b) There is boss fight at the end of this update where the presence of the Dominated Varia as it was designed in 0.28.1 was making the fight way easier than it should (in my playthrough I was able to finish Riala in three turns: this can be part of the reason of the changes).

c) Now that she is nerfed, we (at least I) should check the fight again to see if her presence in the party is advised (as is now) or she is too fragile for this fight.
