I'm saying stealth attacks, if done properly, are near impossible to sense. Torchwick didn't sense Sun even until he literally dropped in on him. The only reason Ren was able to sense someone as skilled as stealth and speed as Tyrian is with his semblance. Blocking the bolas with a metal weapon would definetly lead to disaster, so the only feasible means of blocking it are to either use an aura strike, an aura shield or dust, all of which see usage by only extremely select individuals that no longer specialize or are able to use these techniques (Weiss is probably the only one that can use that much dust due to her previous status).

If the lieutenant was able to beat Weiss, than many other members of the White Fang are likely skilled enough to take on the main cast in a 1v1 without any stealth. The only ones that stand a chance against a sneak attack with electric bolas by competent individuals are Ren, Nora, maybe Blake with her hearing, and Qrow (Ozpin and his magic bs).
