Yeah, I guess I could have phrased it better. You still missed my point with the boarbatusk thing, though - I get why her having trouble with the fight was necessary; I was simply saying that there were other ways to illustrated it than the Boarbatusk managing to disarm her. I have been working on a couple of fight scenes of my own - one of which I am currently transcribing onto computer - so I'm kind of in the mindset of figuring out alternate ways for events to take place, hence my comment.

I'm finding we are misunderstanding each other a lot here. We are on different paragraphs of the same page, so to speak. XD Weiss' defense (DEF, or damage reduction, and VIT, vitality) is low - that is, she can't take a hit very well. She has high DEX to make up for that (high DEX = high AVO and CRIT), and high INT for her Dust and Semblance-based attacks. Basically, she's a glass cannon that's good at dodging. ^.^ Interesting that she used what appears to be Burn Dust in the trailer to boost her STR for that parry. You are right though, without using another glyph, she really didn't have a lot of options there.

We're on the same page, I think - right? >.> I can't really tell. ^.^;

Yeah, I do the same thing with some of my own fights - the "scratched breastplate," so to speak. There's a trope for it, but I don't remember which one it is.
