@KNN: You're not saying that. Having a fallback is never a bad idea, but what you are suggesting is that they take away from their current skillset. Basically sacrificing their main form of combat for skills they won't rely on/inefficently use in battle. Also who said that they don't know how to use alterrnate means of combat. Ruby knows how to use a sword, Ren has knife skills. What's to say they haven't trained in other things offscreen? Rather, they need to learn complimentary skils. We saw that an ace up your sleeve doesn't always work. Remember Ruby shooting Nora to charge her to attack Tyrian? It did squat. It's not a bad thing, but not always something you can rely on.
