Well, keep in mind that Weiss completely outclassed the Lieutenant skill-wise. He couldn't do a single thing to counter her. The only reason she lost that fight was because she couldn't do enough damage to him, her most glaring weakness in combat. It's safe to assume that Emerald isn't a tank, so Weiss would probably do better against her than against someone like the Lieutenant, and I think it's safe to assume that she would have fared better against Neo as well. If Emerald's anything like her partner skill-wise, though, I can't see her losing.

Poor Weiss just needs some way to do damage! I was thinking that it would be pretty cool if she was able to use glyphs with offensive capabilities at some point.
