As you say, Blake's Semblance has been improving. just as she has as she's grown with the team and her in own general confidence and attitudes. She used to "run away" and her clones seemed little more than empty shadowy forms or after images. Frankly, when I first saw her using them in 1.8 against the nevermore I thought it more of an artifact of the lower-grade animation or "speedlines" than an actual aspect of her fighting.

But as she's grown more confident, as she has been learning/resolving not to just run away, the clones have been taking on more definition. In 5.4(? boat and sea monster) when leaping as high as she could, she used a complete duplicate holding her hand to whiplash her higher. She did this same trick in 6.10(? Adam attacking her at the Atlas tower), jumping high-and-out then pushing off the clone to make the tower platform.

Further, it seems that her older shadowy copies not only had less definition but also seemed to be "more" of them, an almost "strobe" effect. Yet now that her she's spinning off a very defined copy, it looks like it's only one at a time.

At any rate, even IF that is not what is happening, not what CRWBY is thinking… until we learn better it remains a brilliant observation and thought.
