2) I do, however, question the writer's idea of having Blake almost get killed by them. I mean, it's the exact same as with Weiss in the Battle of Haven, no matter how bad things look, since she's one of the Main 4, anyone with a brain would never believe the idea that she could die, which hurts the drama.

I'd say it was used for Ruby to activate her eyes considering losing her friends is a trauma button for her since Pyrrha.
