"It's about taking away what power they have"

Emerald tells Cinder that Pyrrha's Semblance is polarity, then Mercury says "You should be able to take her no problem". Cinder says "it's not about overpowering the enemy, it's about taking away what power they have".

Pyrrha's semblance is polarity, which she uses a lot in duels because there are a lot of metal weapons.

Cinder, however, uses glass weapons. Something that I assume Pyrrha's Semblance would not work on. "Taking away what power they have" could mean "take away the usefulness of her Semblance".

I think Cinder was just saying that she's confident enough in her fighting ability to outplay Pyrrha in a fight if Pyrrha can't use her Semblance against Cinder.

"Add her to the list"

What's the list? I have a couple of theories.

Firstly, the list is of "star students" at the academies. The list is compiled so that Cinder knows who to frame or disgrace publicly during V3. I'd say Yang was on the list too, but that's just speculation based on the fact that they targetted her and purposely paired her up with Mercury.

My other theory is that the list is for people who will make it into the finals of the tournament, so that they could manipulate the bracket long in advance. And then frame and disgrace.
