The Devil's Advocate WP wrote: Perhaps the Giant Armor was a Schnee product for high-level training. That would explain her general composure when fighting it, compared to her getting frightened when the Grim show up. Evidence For A Training Exercise:


 * The Armour didn't press it's advantage but stood still whilst Weiss picked herself up after being punched in the face.

Evidence Against A Training Exercise:


 * Weiss seemed genuinely surprised and afraid when the Armour stood up and lunged for her;


 * Weiss started off with fairly light attacks as if she were trying to disable a rogue friendly rather than destroy a threat.

Personally I wonder if it was a training exercise but one her parents didn't bother to tell her about. So, she wasn't in real danger but she believed that she was.
