If we ignore the hallucinations, Mercury kicks Emerald's ass nine ways to sunday.

But if we include them then it becomes more complicated, though I still think he would win.

For starters, they could confuse Mercury, but as we've seen, they require focus to work properly, so if Emerald herself loses focus, she loses that advantage.

And given Mercury's speed and relentlessness, keeping focus long enough for a decent hallucionation, or even having enough time to make a decent one, would be next to impossible if Mercury goes at it seriously.

At the same time, since Semblances cost Aura, overusing them leads to her Aura running out quicker, which leads to her getting tired quicker and thus getting kicked harder.
