Like for example with a few super powered characters and series.

Froppy from MHA

Jean Grey- Xmen

Green lantern- DC

The three super heroes I listed have versatile powers that have their strengths and weaknesses, and that’s the keyword here. Weaknesses.

Froppy has the flexibility of a frog and while that may not sound useful to the guy who favors the reality bending heroes/villains she’s got muscles that can pack a punch and a tongue that can reach long distances, not to mention being able to hold her breath and swim like a fish in water.

However this power comes with a weakness, making it too cold and she’ll pass out, as if her amphibian body is hibernating. Her tongue is still something that can be burned, used against her and for all of her abilities can still be taken down by physically imposing opponents.

How about Jean Grey? well for all her power she can still lose hold and control over them if she becomes emotionally unstable which is...often and her powerful telekinesis still leaves her with massive headaches (hell there’s a meme of all the times with the ibuprofen) some that can knock her cold, she’s one of the most powerful mutant but these two weaknesses can prove to sometimes be too much even for one with so much power.

And lastly Green lantern, his weakness is simple compared to the others.  Fear. GL’s operate on willpower and fear can depower and cloud their judgment to make their powerful constructs! Sometimes more physically powerful opponents can also break through them and even the ring can be shattered by the right person leaving the users completely powerless.

Regardless of these three heroes' weaknesses they can still be powerful adversaries to any villain that crosses them and can even come out on top despite their weaknesses; stakes.

YES! RWBY removing aura powered semblances makes the series lose what small stakes it already had, them removing that removes a weakness “Oh no this character's aura is broken now they can’t use their powers.’” Before it was a contest to “which of these losers is gonna drop their shield first? So we can start caring about the fight.. Oh both at the same time!? How convenient.” They went after the wrong thing and instead of removing the sometimes protective shield they took away all stakes by going “you can now just use your super forever, no fear of meters going down.” Now semblances like Yang’s that had a timer of both activating when she was low on aura and also being passive so she had to be smart and quick are now just gone.
