Blake is fragile. While she's evasive, if she gets hit, she's easily knocked down. She also lacks versatility and strength compared to other characters, even if we include the upgrade her Semblance got with Weiss' Dust.

Honestly to me Blake is the strongest member of team RWBY. Unlike everyone else, Blake seems to lack any major weakness besides not being physically strong.

Ruby is absolutely useless without her weapon

Weiss is completely fragile and it takes very little to take her down

and Yang lacks range and becomes exhausted if her attacks don't make contact.

Blake has no real weakness, and while she isn't very powerful, her strength doesn't come from power, and she is most effective as a hit and run tactical fighter, whittling down health little at a time.
