I have faith the characters can think outside the box and fight without Dust or Aura or Semblance if need be. That's what traps and misdirection is for. A lot of good traps and misdirection can do against the Grimm. Oh sure you can take out two or three when they attack, but eventually you'll have to fight them head on, and without Dust or Aura, your best bet would be normal people with Zweihanders and bows and arrows, and that won't do jack shit compared to 1 fully equipped huntsman, able to run extremely fast, hit hard, remain mobile, and be able to take a punch from a Deathstalker head on if he gets hit.

Just drop it already KNNO, you're reasoning is bullshit. "Oh use ur brains" well all their brains do in a pitched fight is either help them react and reason fast or be used as desert after the Grimm eat the rest of the body, and the former is only useful if the body can keep up!

I'm a (decently) smart fellow with reflexes that are impressive if needed and a good sense of self preservation, but what happens when you ask me to jog 2 miles in full combat gear and then tell me to fight a bear? Well I'll probably be a tired, shambling sod but I'd fight, but I'd probably die within the minute. Why? Because I'm a sedentary white boy attending college. Weiss? Even with Aura she's still a frail rich white girl, who got hurt in her trailer, without Dust she'd have died.

Sure they have limited use of their powers without Aura (Weiss in her trailer) and they can escape the fight with their skill if they need to run, but why the hell do you think they can beat SALEM when they've been completely depowered?
