Aside from the negative attributes forcibly added by Son of War while the Golden Trait was active, three main factors limited Hunter Tiger's performance.
First, the Low Blood Mutant bloodline.
People said that the rich relied on technology while the poor relied on mutation. In the early stages, the Low Blood Mutant bloodline had indeed given Hunter Tiger significant advantages, granting him strength and physique far beyond those of ordinary humans.
