I beg to differ. We haven't seen enough of what he's got and his Semblance is still in the dark. But wits over fists sounds more like something I'd expect to see from Jaune, though I would expect to see a good balance of both from Ren.

I don't think Ren's strength is as obvious as most of his peers', but the way I see it, if he and Nora have been together for "so long", I expect Ren to be Nora's equal in combat, even if in the opposite nature/stats. (ex. where Nora's strength lies in raw power, offense, and durability, Ren's could be speed, finesse, and technique idk)

On a side note, one thing about Ren's fighting style that impresses me is that whenever he does win or gains an advantage on an opponent, it's usually when he uses his opponent's attack/weapon against him/her/it. Even in the DeathStalker fight, he was the first to target the stinger, only after he loosened did Jaune and the rest of the team pick up where he left off.

Personally, I'd wager that if Pyrrha hadn't thrown that spear at the scorpion (in vain), not only would Ren not have been thrown off the way he did, but he just might have succeeded in severing the stinger completely, if his shots could already loosen it as much as they did. And then stinger can just fall on Deathstalker's head via gravity and perhaps Ren can force palm it through its skull, similar to what he did with the King Taijitu's fang to the latter's eye. (Although I won't deny that Nora still would've been the optimal choice for "nailing it.")
