Except Emerald can fight while simultaneously using her Hallucinations. She can even make herself invisible (even if that's definitely not how Hallucinatons work) while at it. Case in point, the fight against Amber.

So if you wait out the Hallucination, you risk getting hit. Since it's an Hallucination - unless she uses it terribly - that means you have no idea if X attack thrown at you is real or not, especially since she can make Hallucinatory copies of herself.

Since she can make herself invisible as long as she keeps focus that also means you don't know exactly what she's going to do regardless of what the Hallucination does until she does it.

That said, I forgot that Area-of-Effect attacks are also effective, it even worked for Amber. Attacks that hit in a wide-enough area, so even if they are directed at a fake, they can potentially hit the real Emerald in the process.
