Talk:Volume 5 Yang Character Short/@comment-82.74.216.70-20171014161505/@comment-4010415-20171015023038

That situation with Ruby and Tyrian is literally the only time that has happened in RWBY thus far.

The rest of the times, the character had their Aura shimmer pass over their body, and then, if they received a hit after that, it actually did damage to them.


 * Mercury - He wasn't injured, but his prosthetic leg was damaged, evidenced by him mentioning that they're expensive while he was using a screwdriver on the leg that Yang shot.


 * Amber - Cinder shot her in the back with an arrow, and the arrow actually went in.


 * Pyrrha - Cinder shot an arrow into her ankle and then another through her chest.


 * Qrow - Tyrian actually cut him.


 * Tyrian - Ruby actually cut his stinger off.

With 5 instances of an Aura shimmer either passing over their body (Mercury, Amber, Pyrrha) or flickering over their body (Qrow and Tyrian) being followed by them receiving actual damage, I'd rather believe the majority over the singular case that is Ruby Rose.
