INTRO
Death Battle Intro

Wiz: When humanity is in danger from beings stronger than itself, they often expect an external savior to protect them.

Boomstick: But sometimes when no hero comes along, you just have to create one yourself!

W: When humans create an artificial being, they often create it in their own image...

B: And what image would be better than cute loli girls?

W: Like Ruby Rose, the Silver-Eyed Reaper.

B: And Betty, the Black Beast! He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!

W: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win... A DEATH BATTLE.

Ruby Rose's Analysis
RWBY: World of Remnant 1st theme

Wiz: Humans in the real world have prospered for thousands of years because we are on top of the foodchain.

Boomstick: The people in the world of Remnant are not so fortunate!

W: Ever since humanity remembers itself, it was under constant danger from mysterious alien beings known as Grimm. Because of these monsters, the human civilizations have been destroyed and rebuilt more time than history remembers. But even in the present, these bygone kingdoms have left powerful legacies, in the form of magic.

B: Magic in Remnant can be almost anything, from explosive elemental drug crystals to mystic Relics.

W: One form of magic that is known only as a legend was created to fight and kill Grimm. This magical energy is fused within a lineage of people, commonly known for having silver eyes, and are often refered to as "Silver-Eyed Warriors". Ruby Rose is the only known silver-eyed warrior this far.

B: But she by no means needs magic powers to kick those Grimm's asses!

W: Ever since she was a child, Ruby has trained to become a Huntress, one of humanity's most elite warriors. Both of these facts allowed Ruby to be accepted into Beacon Academy, a special school for Huntsmen training, two years ahead of time. Only 15 years old, Ruby was already a skilled fighter with Crescent Rose, a weapon she made herself.

B: Seriously? A scythe? Isn't it, like, the most inefficient weapon ever?

Ruby: It's also a customizable, high-impact sniper rifle.

Jaune: What?

R: It's also a gun.

Wiz: Crescent Rose can fold between a scythe and sniper rifle form, and Ruby is highly skilled at wielding both. She can use the recoil from the gunfiring to propel herself at a high speed, and use the momentum to strike with increased force and speed. She's able to use the blade of the scythe as a monopod for using the rifle, and can hit targets from a far distance.

Boomstick: But still, it's a scythe. She could make it, I don't know, a battleaxe? A scythe is literally meant to slice towards the user!

W: That's mostly because she's taken inspiration from her uncle. However, Crescent Rose's scythe blade is able to bend back into a form that resembles a war scythe or a spear. Crescent Rose also has a small, hooklike, jagged blade on the bottom tip. She can use it as a secondary offense when attacking multiple opponents

W: Crescent Rose is also capable of using bullets made of a magical substance called Dust.

B: Why does it sound awfully like a slang for drugs?

W: Regardless, like many magical objects in Remnant, Dust typically has elemental powers. There are many different types of Dust, each one can wield a different element. Ruby has notably used four types of Dust with her weapon thus far. The most common one is gravity -

B: How is gravity an element?

W: I said typically. Gravity Dust is used by Crescent Rose to increase the recoil of Crescent Rose and fire bullets that cause a shockwave whenever they hit. As we mentioned earlier, Ruby uses her weapon's recoil to her advantage, making the former use beneficial. She also uses Ice, Fire and Lightning Dust with her bullets.

B: Fire Dust spews flame or shoots explosive fireballs, Ice Dust freezes enemies, and Lightning Dust creates chain lightning that stuns whoever it hits!

W: Ruby can spin Crescent Rose at a high speed, creating a powerful wheel slash, and can spiral down at an enemy, smashing into the ground and causing rocks to spike out violently.

Emerald Forest Ambience - RWBY: Grimm Eclipse

B: Crescent Rose is one deadly weapon, but without it, Ruby is nearly useless, and her skill at unarmed combat is very low.

W: But Ruby does have a few tricks up her sleeves. Like most huntsmen, Ruby's body is protected with an energy field called aura. This protects her from attacks and can heal her from injuries. She can use up this aura to drastically increase her speed, to the level of seemingly being able to teleport.

B: She's able to create strong whirlwinds, as well as pick up and carry others.

W: Until recently, this ability was implied to be Ruby's Semblance, a psionic ability that is linked to the aura, but her real semblance goes beyond that. It allows Ruby to actually dematerialize into rose petals!

B: And these rose petals are hella strong! They can fly, and even split into multiple separate clouds! Makes you wonder what would happen if she rematerializes when split though.
