@ Chishio: Then it is possible that Ren has been using his semblance during fights. There are time when even Jaune has been braver. TBH I was under the impression that what was happening to Oscar and Oz was decades in the future until I saw Hazel. Time passing is hard to tell right now. The way grimm are getting stronger and foes from Salem pop up makes their lives feel more dream like, like a nightmare. The only time it doesn't feel like a dream is when it switches away from Oscar or Ruby's POVs to Yang, Weiss or Blake. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if even Ruby breaks down and cries or panics when the Cleric Beast 4 Horseman Chimera shows up.

Tactically, I have nothing on this. I thought Ren's pop was a hunter but when he said they needed one, it seemed like there weren't any at all in town. He even said he needed to speak to the mayor and sent Ren home (likely not wanting him scared by what he found out about the new threat).

If the best way to fight Grimm is via self control and positive moods. Then we have a problem because all the new Grimm are stronger and raiding towns with reckless abandon ever since the fall of Beacon and the first showing of the Ape Grimm. At this point I think they just moving from place to place instill fear and killing and chasing runner to the next time, following their trail of fear, and repeating.
