Obviouslythis is something we can't quite confirm until velvet actually explains how her weapon works, but my theory is that it has two parts- one that feeds into a mimic semblence and lets her emulate other weapons/fighting styles. But another that feeds directly off of her aura- perhaps it's like a battery and charges off of her own aura.So, the longer she leaves her weapon to charge the stronger its mimicries get. This explains why she was able to take down 4 of those huge atlesian robots so (relatively) easily. At the same time, she might be such a glass cannon because the power draw leaves her aura relatively low on a consistent basis. Obviously she wouldn't have known to stop her weapon from charging before the battle of the beacon because it's a surprise attack. Thus, she may be fighting with supercharged weapons (given she's been charging for a year or so now), but her aura is low. This is why she seems tired after taking those 4 robots down, and then gets wrecked by the fifth. This also explains why she's so timid- she's vulnerable when the weapon is charging, and so doesn't want to provoke cardin or anyone else into a physical confrontation.
