-We humans don't have Aura. Doesn't mean our slashes with swords and knives didn't cause any damage at all to animals. The blade still causes damage you know. Hell, that's how katanas worked for the most part.

I get that... but we humans don't live in Remnant... my understanding is that aura both defends the body and hones weapons... much like Trion in World trigger when the characters use a trigger or the "sacred weapon" of characters in tabletop RPG's... except everyone has it there... which essentially makes him like a character with a 1d12 weapon in a campaign where everyone else has at least DR 6 and warriors all typically have 1d6+6 weapons with typical hunters being closer to DR 8-14 with 1d6-1d12 weapons that have an extra +6-12 damage from aura....

I grant low level grimm and normal humans with locked aura could be taken down with the sword but other hunters and armored grimm would be next to impossible.

Also, he has 6 arrow types. Esentially 6 slots where to put Dust to fire an arrow. Not 6 arrows. There's a huge difference. As for analyzing the enemy, that's just being smart. When you are weaker physically, you can't just go slashing everything like a maniac, you need to be more careful. thank you for clarifying... it sounded like it was a 6-shooter

-Essentially parkour for the most part. And no, you don't need Aura for that either (but it would likely help). If that's not an option, he could fire a Fire Dust arrow at the ground and explode it, so the explosion pushes him up a bit and slows down his fall (proven by science). again, I see aura as a straight DR above physical endurance, I don't see a regular human surviving a drop of a few hundred feet with just parkour...

-Yes, recently dead. Long-dead bodies would likely have their souls wandering somewhere else instead, with the shock of death long gone so she wouldn't be able to just grab the soul then just like that. so she often finds dead bodies... yet doesn't fight much....
