I wouldn't say Ruby showed skill with the sword since all she did was use it to stab the Nevermore, but she at least seemed competent with it. I'm still wondering how she knew how to managed the sword. If she learned a little from Qrow, why didn't she learn how to hand-to-hand combat? I mean again, she didn't so much handle it as she did pick it up and stab something using her Speed Semblance. But it isn't too complex to hold a sword. I mean she fights with a sniper scythe. A sword may not be quite the same tool, but she should be competent enough to use it against a giant Nevermore.

@Chishio THEY BETTER NOT!

@98.20.138.248 To be honest, I didn't get the impression Oobleck and Port were in grave danger. More like they were geared up for a fight. Though considering I still don't feel they even gave Ironwood the fake death misdirection... I guess for me they are in the same boat.

So fight wise we have....

Ruby vs Neo and Torchwick?

Weiss vs Advanced Paladin

Blake vs Adam?

SSSN, Qrow, Glynda, Maybe more vs Papa Dragon (It comes to destroy Hometree Beacon)

Nora and Ren maybe helping against Papa Dragon, Random Grimm where they were told to stay, or getting wrecked as Cinder decides to follow Pyrrha and takes the straight line approach.

Yang going to the Docks (I assume the landing pads near Beacon).

Mercury and Emerald as discount Action News.
