@Sentry: 1-That's right, tacticians are more inmediate and oportunist, strategies....but then consider how the strategist must have tactical capabilities. Things can happen mid-plan, a strategist must double as a tactician to be effective.

Now let's consider the fight against the Nevermore and DS. Ruby stopped for some moments, thought up a plan, called her teammates and carried it out. Jaune meanwhile planned nothing, he just saw a tactical oportunity and exploited it.

Alas, Jaune is the real tactician. Now, for strategy, I consider how we've pretty much never seen Ruby show real strategic skill after that fight, unless you want to count her "team attacks" against the Paladin, which may fall under tactics more than strategy. Meanwhile, Jaune has shown his tactical skills more often.

Total: Hard to argue that Ruby's a better tactician. Easier to argue she's a better strategist, depending on whether you mean "only strategies" or "strategic and tactical".

2-Remember RWBY is based mostly on anime before anything else. In anime the leader is usually a "Red Oni", active, aggressive, emotional, with the lancer being a "Blue Oni", more calm, passive, even if just compared to the leader. The BO is usually the one doing the real thinking, the RO is more likely to throw himself before thinking what to do.

If we based ourselves on that, Ruby would be the boss, while Jaune would be the Lancer and strategist.
