It's not his semblance or a power of his sword, he just had a strong enough attack to do more damage than her aura could handle.

And you can't post the semblance here until after the contest is over, but you can get suggestions from here and discuss it without posting a proper template. The other option you have is taking it to your wall and discussing it there. I'm pretty sure his Semblance was active as well, though. He had that weird glowy absorption via the sword, and the literal cut-scene between the Spider Droid and Yang was very similar if not identical. I mean, his Semblance is thought to absorb damage and redirect it, so that's how I saw it working...I just made the pun for the hell of it, really. The attack just had a greater effect due to her low Aura. Brings up another pre-posed question, though: How did his attack miss?

Wasn't planning to put it in an official template except for when I post the character, but thank you for the clarification. She's pretty much done, just needs an outfit (which I'm horrid at designing) and a Semblance. It's funny how some of her quirks directly contrast other characters already posted there, so.
