That depends on what his venom does to his victims. And if Ruby still had Aura left, the stinger wouldn't be able to pierce her. To me those Aura flashes represents Tyrian using his best punches on Ruby, not surprising since she is his target. And if his blows can disrupt someone's Aura, then they can't use their Semblance, which is a big problem in a life or death struggle. And I'll be surprised if Ruby's Aura isn't broken from all those crushing blows, this isn't Torchwick she's dealing with, not even remotely close.
