The bigger DEM is clearly the Silver Eyes of God. A DEM is characterized by being sudden, having next-to-no reasonable amount of foreshadowing, and solving a problem that seemed hopeless and/or impossible.

Velvet, we at least knew her weapon was going to be special. And while she kicked some ass with it, she hardly saved anything, and even got beaten up a bit.

Ruby, the only thing we had for foreshadowing of the eyes was Ozpin's "you got silver eyes" line, which could've meant a myriad things (For example, that he knew Summer). We didn't even know such thing as the Silver Eyed Warriors existed, and if you told anyone before that episode, they would think you were joking.

And, it froze the Dragon. The thing that sweated Grimm to life every second. Even if Cinder is still alive and Beacon has fallen, it heavily decreases the number of Grimm coming every day, thus guaranteeing Vale has a chance to recover.
