Well, since that match is long over, and we can assume they won't be back for a while, I feel like it's necessary to rate this team's effectiveness. And it will be from weakest/least effectual to strongest/most effective

First up, of course, is Nadir. From what we've seen. Nadir is garbage, he seems to be a team mate who's primary job is to act as long range support to Arslan and yet in every instance he comes up, he's rendered ineffectual mere seconds later. One could argue that he's purely support, but given that he appears to not readily engage anyone, you'd think he'd be more effective at camping.

Next up is... Reese. "But wait, she fought the most!", While that's true, what did she really accomplish with all of that? As far as we know, she'd been fighting Blake and only blake from match start. Despite this, her aura was the lowest even before Blake's sneak attack and she... yeah she's not very smart. Which is exemplified by her falling for Blakes clone, despite blake having used several in their fight leading up to the trap and her absolute inability to guage her landing when trying to recover when her board got hacked.

Third, by process of elimination, has to be Bolin. He certainly didn't fight nearly as much as Reese, however all things considering, he had far more benefitial moments. He managed to sneak up on Ruby, despite being a close range fighter. He held his own(even if only for a short period of time) against ruby and weiss together and even managed to bypass both to get reese to help Nadir. That said, he still joined nadir in causing Arslan a triple loss.

And Of course, last and best, Arslan. Keeping toe to toe with Yang, and having the superior aura amount (not just against yang, but also of her entire team). She clearly knew how to use the environment to her advantage and managed to bail Nadir and Bolin out of their situation. That said, it seems odd that she didn't follow up on striking Yang after she got her toppled over, and freeing nadir the first time he got caught, but that could just be down to Yang not letting her have the chance.
