How does that make more sense within the show's reality? The Giant Armor was possessed by a Grimm, and the official manga explains why she had to fight it: Weiss insisted on leaving home to attend Beacon Academy, but her father wanted her to stay home and attend Atlas instead. Thus, he had his assistant make a deal with Weiss. If she could defeat the Giant Armor, she would be allowed to attend Beacon. If she couldn't defeat it, she'd have to stay home. Also, the manga confirms that Weiss got her scar from fighting the Giant Armor.
