"I don't think you have to worry, Mira. Your ability to shift between forms makes you unpredictable, at least in battle. Besides, you can use the different forms for various purposes that go outside of the fighting range. You can use a dog's hearing to find people. You would also basically be a moving alarm. You can take the form of a bird for stealth reconnaissance or use that of a bug for stealthy infiltration. You can change form while fighting; you can sneak attack them. You can do a lot of things thanks to replication."
