We also have a character based off of the Grim Reaper, who's scythe literally steals the soul of everyone it touches with the smallest possible cut or prick of its blade. Yet Crescent Rose isn't close to that powerful. RWBY stayed true to the Source Material, but a character based on the Grim Reaper can't beat anyone in hand-to-hand combat.

A character based on Cu can be balanced, and even then, as you just proved, Cu was mortal, meaning Gae Bolg could be passed down. There are ways to make it work.
