It's not beyond imagination that the original Crescent Rose might be destroyed in a climactic battle with Crimson, similar in theme to the Luke/Vader duel in The Empire Strikes Back, just to emphasise that Ruby isn't as strong and skilled as she needs to be yet and that this is a serious enemy.

In that scenario, Crescent Rose Mk2 might have some Dust-enabled gimmicks added, based on Ruby's experience with Weiss's and maybe Jaune's equipment. This would include a multi-payload Dust-effect charger for the blade and maybe an aura energy sheild projector on the blade body to let her literally 'bat' ranged attacks away from her.
