[up] If Adam Semblance is confirmed to be anti-aura then that could be a counter.

Hell, imagine if Yang developes a Healing Factor coupled with her semblance? plis nerf

[up]Actually, they already confirmed that Adam brute forced Yang's aura in that scene. So it is all but stated that his semblance is not anti-aura.Which, if you think about it, make sense. His attack there had the same visual effect as his final move in the Black Trailer, but in said trailer his enemy was a robot, which doesn't have an aura.

I do think his semblance have something to do with that, but it is not an anti-aura thing. I think it is something that allows him to make a single ultra powerful stroke but possibly with some sort of downside. In the trailer he seemed to need some time to charge, so maybe it is something like that.

[up][up][up]It's never been stated that Semblances can only work when someone has their aura up.

And I was talking Healing Factor like "You cut off my arm? Well that's annoying -holds arm to stump, reattaches itself- "Aaaand there we go." not in RWBY how people heal from cuts in seconds/minutes.

Still going with Adam having some form of energy absorption or conversion.

But the sword having that power would open up a bunch of potentially interesting lore

No, not really. Pretty sure Junior's mooks had red swords as well, besides it would take away something unique from the characters.

[up]Oh they are laughting right now as they deliver more glorious despair.

And about Adam, is intersting the idea he just blunt force Yang aura in one hit, consider she was bleeing yellow I think he did to just that area.

All the misery thus far was Monty's idea.

Wait to see what they come up with once they're past the points he set up for them.

@AJ 2: I had a similar idea. The character idea in question, she had to stand still and scream to recharge her aura, effectively making herself a target.

Honestly, Adam being just that strong is more interesting than the alternatives. Provides a nice bechmark for Maiden!Cinder scaring him, and will make the inevitable eventual asskicking by Blake and cyborg Yang to a sick remix of I Burn all that more satisfying.

He "just being that strong" is not quite consistent with the trailer, though. I mean, I agree it is probably not something super elaborated, but I don't think he can just slice with such strength all times either.

So how do you think Blake and Yang's reunion will go down? I'm personally hoping Yang decks her and gives a what the hell hero speech before pulling her into a hug.

Yeah, I get you. I meant that even if it's his Semblance, it probably isn't something like a possessed sword or whatever. Just a boost for him.

That's an interesting one. I might pop that one over at /r/whowouldwin. We don't really have a non-Aura baseline for Adam's power, but you can probably estimate Yang's Aura durability and extrapolate from there. On the other hand, Sam could keep up with Raiden, who's way superhuman.

The RWBY Manga actually says that powerful enough attacks can slip past aura without completely draining it. Hence Weiss getting that scar while fighting the giant Knight.

We don't really have a non-Aura baseline for Adam's power, but you can probably estimate Yang's Aura durability and extrapolate from there.

I will say sam. He took down Raiden in his first fight and fought with Armstrong on equal foot.

And can Adam do this? I don't think so
