This fight should be interesting given what RNJR has going for it and against it. The plot has built up both the positives and the negatives.

Things not in their favor:

The Grimm it's self is a village killer that's had at least ten years to grow stronger and smarter.

While we don't know if any village besides Shion had a Huntsman the four of them are still in training.

Ren's PTSD could hinder them.

Jaune has the least experience/skills and has short range.

Ruby might rush in and make mistakes while trying to protect others.

What could work in their favor:

Nora's semblance. They already showed Ruby powering up once, her weapon creates it's own charge now and we heard thunder.

Jaune trying to do an Aura slash was built up already so seeing it wouldn't come out of no where.

Ren's semblance--if he can overcome his PTSD could potentially save them again.

The Geist fight made a point of having Jaune being stated as the strategist able to figure out how to use their abilities best. If he can make a plan and has enough information to do so (via observation and Ren/Nora) they got a shot.

Wild Cards:

Crow's semblance. It can either negatively effect them or the Grimm.

Ruby's SEW powers but she can't control them.

Jaune's semblance.
