I think it depends. Black trailer was a lot of parry (I mean, she chose to cut the one AK's bullets out of the sky instead of dodging them, and she blocked more swords then she dodged IIRC), but from what I can tell, Blake likes to be on offence. She dodged away from Roman in V1E16 but had no problems attacking him later (I mean, outside of losing). She directly attacked him in No Brakes. In Players and Pieces, she dodged the Nevermore when the rest of RWBY did, but the had already gone and attacked it earlier. I'll have to re-watch her fight with Reese, but I seem to remember her dodging Reese's initial attack and then launching a counter-attack of her own. Seems like her style.

TL;DR Blake seems to like attacking things, so in Yang's place she'd probably dodge. She would likely immediately counter-attack, however, leading to the same result.

Except she'd probably lop off his leg and end the charade right there. Maybe cut him in half. I get the feeling Blake can be brutal if threatened.
