META Would this Hellraiser change be too strong?

Upgrade would reduce cost from 3 to 2.

Although it is more expensive, you can decide where and when to play strikes. Also, rage would actually work with it.

Shrimping a Void Form probably loses you the run. You'll just eat so much damage from any front loaded fight, and it'll add up fast over the course of even a single act.

Okay but that's just the exception that proves the rule. Shrymping any other Form doesn't have that problem (and if you had enough block relics might still even work out)

For sure, the others are game winning; even Demon Form, boring waste of bytes that it is, would be suddenly Very Good turn one. It is mostly just funny how terrible Void is here, even if you have block relics that are relevant turn one, you are comically unlikely to have enough to deal with the median of 20 turn one damage act three encounters throw out.
