Well, since aura is connected to the weapon, there are several abilities that we haven't seen, yet, we know that they exist. Aura and Semblance will be explained further and since new characters and stronger enemies will appear, I say it will take more than badass combos to take down these new enemies since most of them are competent fighters unlike the typical goons we have seen so far in the series.

For example, some semblances haven't been seen at full potential or even properly used. It's like if the trailers took place after Beacon since Team RWBY looks weak compared to when we saw them in for the first time. Ruby managed to dodge a Beowolf and somehow appeared on top of them like if she teleported, yet, she was easily hit by a beowolf and Roman during their fights simply because she wasn't looking at them and couldn't react on time even though she showed the ability to react to an enemy attack in the last second.

Weiss has several abilities in the White Trailer and none of them, except for the air step, was used in the actual show. Blake never fought by herself and when fighting alone, even with that great semblance of hers, she got hurt a lot of times. And Yang uses her semblance to go berserker which is cool but it's also a weakness since all she does is punch, punch and more punch, that could be easily countered through the right moves which no enemy has showed but we'll probably see it during Volume 2 thanks to Mercury.

So yeah, Aura and Semblance must be explained further and used properly. Since the upcoming enemies are going to be a real challenge, it's going to be necessary to use more than epic combos to defeat them.

Also, since Jaune is training with Pyrrha, she'll probably bring up the Semblance topic and explain it to Jaune during one of their trainings.
