... Pyrrha's shield is small? I'll say that it's trimmed a little as compared to the standard round shield to allow more manueverability, but to say that it's small is just so...

Not to mention that Pyrrha's shield has been tested against a Deathstalker, and while she did negate a majority of the energy by simply deflecting it off course (which by the way is something that's going to screw up Yang's hits big time), the girl's defense can give even the strongest melee warriors a run for their money. In fact, I'm guessnig that her greatest strength most likely doesn't lie on her Semblance or her spear techniques - it's that god damn shield defense that's as unshakable as a mountain.

Favoritism getting obvious here...
