Well regarding points 1 and 2 and whether an assasination style attack would work would depend on how much damage one of cinders charged arrows can do if you're not attempting to block it in some way shape or form...

Although I have to concur that a single arrow wouldn't be enough (I rewatched cinder, em and merc vs amber) as I previously thought the arrow pierced her because she turned her back but I admit I was mistaken, I didn't notice her aura having been depleted prior to that...

As for how she would fare directly in match against Ozpin... well, even if as I just concured a single arrow wouldn't be enough she would have had the premptive strike... and it's entirely possible she could have been holding back to prevent drawing attention to herself prior to the events of beacon... and that MIGHT be enough to tip the scales slightly in her favour...

I know this wasnt the case in the show but would it be so farfetched for Cinder to realise that due to the transfer attempt, killing Amber would hasten Pyrrha being a maiden ... rather than merging with the other half since Pyrrha's a purer host ... forcing Cinder to attack Ospin to avoid facing him and Pyrrha at the same time.

Also even if Cinder was forced to face half-maiden Pyrrha alongside or after Ozpin, Pyrrha would still have to worry about protecting Jaune.

Anyway I hope this isn't going to descend into flame wars! Be gentle! I'm not trying to start a fight! lololol
