On the less theoretical side...

Mercury is a champ! Easily the most enjoyable of Cinder's faction (I'm not really including Torchwick). Taking a shotgun for the cause. And seemingly completely intentional. Especially with the smile when Yang stands back up. Looks like he'll go to the final and beat Pyrrha probably with Yang being disqualified. Yeah, after being knee-capped by a shotgun without protection. In RWBY it'd be healed and he be fine, but not in time for the tournament (besides, he was eliminated).
