4. WF Lieutenant: She went solo, and got her ass kicked majorly, even got KOd, and the only reason she didn't die right there and then was because the writers forgot Banesaw existed by the very next shot.

7. Vernal: Literally almost died. 4. Biggest baddest beatdown. Indeed questionable why the WF Lt didn't kill her. They didn't forget he existed, though. He comes walking through the door that she got thrown through, but it's unknown why he did that in the first place.

7. Weiss drank a big ol' glass of idiot juice. 4. Implication I always got was that the final slash of his broke her aura and sent her flying through the door, so its not that he chose to not finish her off, its that he was on his way to do so before Blake grabbed Weiss and bolted.

7. Meta Reason: Every part of the fights in that hall outside of Hazel vs. Ozcar was poorly written.

In Story Reason: She developed a psychological crutch on her summoning since it was a sign to herself she had gotten better, could stand on her own, and allowed her to escape an abusive enviroment. She treated the Knight like a security blanket to an extent and began to overrely on it. After nearly dying however, said incident has caused her to avoid summoning it period.

Really Weiss' fight record amounts to fact she's an extreme glass cannon, to the point of being a plastic cannon. She can definitely give out damage, but the energy needed to do some of her moves combined with her weak defenses leaves her easily beaten. Hell, if you look back at the fight with the Lieutenant, she only took actual damage at the very end, from two hits. One from Banesaw thrusting her into the floor, the other from his chainsaw sending her flying into the door.

If Weiss needs to work on anything, its her blasted stamina.
