For all that the spider droid knocked her around, when she settled down and just focused on darting around and striking before it could react, she was actually accomplishing something. I doubt any of the other members of team RWBY would have been able to do much of anything against that thing either, even Adam wasn't getting too far before he used Moonslice.

The same sort of thing happened with her fight against Roman. When she was just darting around and keeping him crossed up, he was helpless. Then she slowed down and got knocked around. Ren has the same issues with getting thrown around.

We've mostly seen her against single, major enemies. Nobody**, not Ruby, not Weiss, not Yang, has been able to single-handedly do anything against the likes of a spider droid, a deathstalker, or a fighter like Roman. The one time she gets goon-level enemies in the form of the androids, she mows them down like all the other characters have.

I think above all, being fragile just sort of comes with the fighting style, because it would be absurdly overpowered if she could actually take hits!

. **Except Penny, of course. Well actually Ruby could probably acomplish the same feat if not more efficiantely because of her Semblance which is her innate speed.
