Honestly, in Volume 5, I believe Blake simply surprised him with how much her Semblance has advanced.

Back when Ilia attacked her and started a fight in the Belladonna home, it looked as if Blake had teleported with her Semblance. But then, when Adam attacks her at the Battle of Haven, everything goes slow motion while we see Blake actually moving away from her clone to stand next to him. I think that, in real-time, Adam was unable to see Blake move from her clone because she was moving too fast.

Though, I think it would've been better if they had changed the scene to where she moves to the side with the messed up eye so that she could literally blindside him.
