To be honest, that is what I feel is going to be Pyrrha's Achilles Heel. Especially how in chapter 1 she mentions they should be glad they are going to enter a tournament with actual rules and not against murderers.

She has experience in a controlled combat setting. I feel she's physically/combat ready, but I don't think Pyrrha's mind has really developed for the task of being a beacon against darkness (I am assuming the guardian has some sort of position against the Grimm and underworld of Remnant). A fight to the death and a duel that ends before people are at risk are very different when applied to the mind.

As she comes in contact with people on her level or above it, I think that change in mentality could be a crutch. Especially when applied in a one on one scenario where she doesn't have a team.
