The problem is they went for the two theoretically strongest instead of the two practically strongest. In theory, Yang the bruised and Weiss the Dust Mage sound better than Blake the Ninja.

But in practise, Blake has adaptability and strength to prove herself against a multitude of enemies, plus the ability to get herself out of a sticky situation in a pinch. If they’d sent Blake with Weiss as backup (such as enhancing Blake with Time Dilation glyphs like she did in V2) they would have faired better, as Blake isn’t the type to charge in senselessly except where the White Fang is concerned. The two of them could have worked together and stuck together, showing their teamwork far better than Weiss and Yang who split immediately and faced against an opponent who was pretty much super effective against them (to use a Pokémon term).
