Like with a spear, only less effective for obvious reasons. Or better yet; go flying forward thanks to a glyph piercing everything in her path. Going to be attacked? Use Dust to make a shield, like she did with the Lieutenant.

Ruby has shown that she excels at Close-Range, she specializes in CRC, and has shown no problem whatsoever despite using a scythe. Hell, she's arguably more effective at close range than long range. So tell me again how is Ruby not as effective at close range? Tell me again how would she struggle in close spaces? We have seen them all fighting at close-range and it is clear that Weiss and Ruby struggle there as one would expect. Consider how Yang fought in the Yellow Trailer or how Blake fought in the Black Trailer. In those kinds of confrontations, the thing Ruby or Weiss would try to do, would need to do, is establish some distance. Yang and Blake can get right up close and fight much more easily than at a distance.
