Plus, Blake is clearly faster with her attacks and directional changes, which is the kind of speed that actually matters when fighting a large enemy.

I doubt Ruby could distract the Spider droid as long as Blake did, either.

Yup, I think the key to Blake avoiding the Spider Droid was the fact that she could get in close with her kama and chain, deal several quicks strike that would keep the droid's attention and get back out again using her shadow clones. I don't think Ruby has enough control of her semblance to pull something like that off, and I think Crescent Rose may be too heavy a weapon to attack, recover from any recoil/rebound and get back out, afterall we did see how far she rebounded back after attacking the Nightstalker...
