Mostly upside
What kinds of drawbacks make an upgrade choice fun rather than annoying?
Selected direction
The direction
Ordinary run powers should mostly feel like upside, not a pile of mandatory drawbacks. Since the build is no longer based on infinitely buying shop upgrades, the interesting choice can be which direction to grow rather than which punishment to accept. Strong tradeoffs can still appear in specialized glass-cannon powers, dungeon juicing or high-tier challenge modifiers.

Exact button count, the language that separates companion from party-wide powers, offer locking and healing amounts are unresolved. Challenging dungeons must keep a real chance of death.
