The main problem with CFVY's real introduction in Breach Spiegel, is that it comes out as completely unnecesary. RWBY and JNPR had already been shown fighting, and owning every single Grimm they saw, never looking even slightly tired nor looking like they were having too much dificulty. Hell, it looked like a tutorial fight.

RWBY and JNPR easily showed they could have held on against the Grimm until Glynda closed the Breach, with no problem at all. As such, CFVY's arrival feels very unnecesary, and they ended up stealing the spotlight entirely, which makes this the 2nd time it happens in a Volume finale (first time Blake, in her own character arc at that, got the spotlight stolen by Sun and then Penny, and Penny was completely irrelevant to the plot not just for these 2 episodes, but arguably for all of Vol.2).

I understand they want to introduce the characters, but they should do it when they will become important, when they will have a real participation in the plot, or at least an arc. Otherwise, it feels a bit rushed. Being fast is important, but rushing is bad.
