Any one of the trio - Cinder, Mercury or Emerald - could have been killed by Amber in that last part of the fight. Amber just chose to go after Emerald because she was the one Amber saw first. If Amber had gone after Mercury, who was lying just as prone as Emerald, then it would be Mercury who you would say is the weakest link.

They're all just as strong as each other, really. It's just that Emerald is much stealthier than the others, so she focuses her fighting style around that instead of being an in-you-face fighter like Neo, or strong like Mercury, or agile and adaptable like Cinder.

Just because someone plays to their own strengths and goes for stealth instead of head to head fights does not make them weaker than someone else who's strength is in head to head fighting. That's like calling a fish stupid because he can't climb a tree like a monkey, but not calling the monkey stupid because he can't breath underwater.
