Her weaknesses are strength and stamina. As for the lieutenant being unabled to counter her. She was completely at his mercy by the end of the fight.

I agree that Emerald has a different fighting style but the problem with Weiss is that her semblance is better geared for support while we don't even know Emerald semblance yet.

As for faring better against Neo, the reason Yang couldn't touch her apparently was because she kept making illusions of herself getting hit when she was not according to Monty. Might cause some problem with Weiss too
