If you mean Adam taking out the Spider Droid, I wonder if it was Dust or Aura.

Dust Argument: In Weiss' trailer, at one point her sword glows red and seems to reflect the attack by the Giant Armor. It could be that Adam used the same ability, reversing the power that the spider shot at him. Also, normally Aura only effects the person using it. Adam seemed to absorb the power of the blast into his sword before shooting it back.

Aura Argument: From what we know of Aura, it normally only effects a person. However, he did ask for Blake to give him some time so he could be using that time to channel his Aura. When the spider attacked, he blocked it with his sword, then unlocked his Aura for a single strike, destroying the spider.

Both Argument: He charged up his Dust abilities, then absorbed the blast the Spider Droid shot at them, before using his Aura to increase his striking power and the power of reflected by the Dust.
