Sensitive Ears: The drawback to Corona's sharp ears and highly tuned hearing is the susceptibility to extremely high or sudden noises, which overpowers her attunement to resonant frequencies. Certain pitches interfere with her hearing to the point of being painfully disorienting. Weaponry based around disruptive sonic or concussive shockwaves can be highly effective at crippling her even if they don't do physical harm normally because of this attunement to hearing resonations. The shape and position of her ears, along with how heavily she relies on hearing techniques, prevents her from employing more effective protection against such problems.

Tech Bruiser: Corona can dish out some serious damage in a fight, especially against physical structures and machine based foes. But she replies heavily on her special hammer, plasma-powered weaponry and other tricks to have any sort of presence on the field of conflict. Without her weapons, her tools, some bombs or a machine she can jury-rig into service she is little more than an eccentric vixen that may be too smart for her own good.

Lightweight: Being able to scale walls, crawl through small access spaces and move between defensive positions rapidly requires one to be as quick on their feet as they are with their wits. Corona travels light, carrying little more than the gear she needs to do her job, the weapons to protect herself, and some thorough but basic protective measures. She's got considerable stamina against exertion but can't take more than moderate harm from attacks before starting to suffer from it. She is also really easy to throw around in a fight if her opponent is bigger and stronger ... which is pretty much anything she goes up against. If they can get their hands on her, that is.

Lock And Overload: A wise machinist once said that Necessity is the mother of Invention... And that Stability is often a deadbeat dad. This has a habit of being true with Corona's more inventive works, like jury-rigging a vehicle to make it run, or her modified guns occasionally jamming or backfiring because they don't use standard functionality. It is especially true of the sentry units she uses for field deployment. She hasn't quite perfected the portable design yet and they have a notorious habit of failing at inopportune moments. They're also usually made out of scrap metal and spare parts, so they're not particularly durable, and when they do fail it tends to be in the most spectacular fashion possible. In other words, despite being small they explode really, really well.
