Weaknesses

AuraSilver EyesUnarmed Combat Continual damage to her Aura will cause it to decay to the point where she can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack she takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without it they cannot be used until it is recharged. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura. Ruby has yet to master the powers of the Silver Eyes, currently requiring focus or a strong emotional state in order to use them properly, with outside factors such as battlefield chaos being enough to cause her powers to fail completely by breaking her concentration. Prior to Volume 7 Ruby was unable to use Silver Eyes willingly at all, only demonstrating the ability to utilize them involuntarily in situations where people she cares about have been or are in danger of being killed, such as after witnessing Pyrrha being murdered in front of her or Cinder almost killing Jaune, the former resulting in her being left unconscious for several days with no recollection of what happened prior, though this may have been due to the magnitude to which the ability was used, as when she saved Jaune the ability was far less powerful. Ruby is heavily reliant on her scythe in combat and is inept at unarmed combat, limiting her to extremely basic techniques such as punches, kicks, and headbutts if disarmed and forced into close quarters combat. However, Ruby has demonstrated some clever techniques to work around this, such as using her Semblance to knock opponents off guard or to enhance the power of her strikes.

Ranked tied for #9 of 99 in RWBY by strength.
