I certainly that's what gives him away, but then again Forest was also poisoned by his stinger and people still blamed Ironwood. I really hope RT doesn't use the "people are stupid" trope so the villains can triumph, that always irks me.

It only happened to Ruby, but yeah. What confused us was that Ruby kept getting Aura ripples multiple times in a row, which we hadn't seen before. They did a much better job at showing us what happened this time.

Basically, Tyrian touched his fingertips to Fiona's stomach and then dragged his fingers across her stomach and side, and while he did that, it looked as if he was tearing her Aura shield open in that spot. He then swung with his other arm to cut her side with his blade.

If this is his Semblance, it's very deadly and efficient. It means that he doesn't necessarily have to beat the Aura out of someone. Instead, he can make quick work of them without having to deal with a drawn-out fight. Diabolical, it's sort of what Ed did against Greed in the FMA anime; disable one part of his Invincible Shield and then strike at the exposed spot. Yeah, that would definitely explain how he's so efficient against Huntsmen. Thankfully he wasn't able to do that to Qrow or the heroes might've already lost. But man, it's gonna be intense when the heroes fight Tyrian again, he won't be as merciful as he was last time, I can tell.
