Yes, he has little aura, but he's best at medium close range, where he could whip his chakram around like Leo's flails. With cars moving around and honking and such, I'm pretty sure he'd be able to ambush either Feacha or Jericho.

This battle could go either way in my opinion, and playing the frogger game might actually be to Amil and Vale's advantage. The bonus mobility would help them out, jumping from car to car.

Overall, though, I think Amil's low aura could cost them the match Former you misunderstand the traffic situation. I already established that in only a few seconds Feacha and Jericho can block ALL traffic on their side of the highway (really, you only need to block the first 5 or so then let it pile up like a Nascar crash) so an ambush is out of the question, and it is Amil and Vale who have the environment still at their disadvantage. with their side of the highway clear of all traffic there is no real way to 'ambush' as would fit with Amilanthior's style. If you have them stay on the traffic and speed off into the sunset they can't eally expect their opponents to follow as their traffic goes the other way and there'd be just an insane amount of distance between them for the majority of the fight. I mena you could do that but it'd just wouldn't help the fight, only delay it.

Now i do admit Amil has more going for him that i might have said before. you are right that he has a mean mid-close range attack with those flaming chakras, but the problem is Jericho is just as good if not better in that range. Seriously Jericho has a very powerful handgun with 36 shots, Amil has two chakrams, the ranged exchange is going to end in Jericho's favour because either Amilanthior attacks and loses the ability to deflect incomming fire or he gets pinned down and eventually overpowered once Jericho throws in the fire-explosive Dust. Not to mention that thanks to his semblance he can both reload with exceptional speed and precision and if need be throw  his sword as an additional mid range attack with practiced accuracy. The swordthrow is not a particularly powerful attack (unless he also activates the Dust cartridge inside the hit to ignite the blade for instance) it is a distraction that combines projectiles flying at differing speeds that might throw a defender off ballance. Also he can instantly retrieve the sword if he misses or gets blocked. He can also use his sword to swing a few fire attacks similar to how Weiss almost incinerated Ruby during their initiation.

sorry i got off on a tangent there but this should make clear that Jericho has more than plenty offensive capability in mid to close range. the advantage of being a jack of all trades that combine shis long range and close range for a deadly mid-range.

Now Delta you kind of contradict yourself there. you claim Vale has normal specs across the board, aside from the stamina. no weaknesses is OK but when she gets outshined in defense and therefor even if they all have equal power in offence, in the end Vale can't eliminate either Jericho or Fea before they eliminate her.

If Vale were to engage combat with Jericho she'd face someone more experienced in fighting against people with her kit (gauntlet weapon + Dust, see Elroy Osmail's latest Accepted version) and would not likely get enough heavy hits in as Jericho knows how to deflect such blows and has about 40% more aura in reserve than the typical fighter on their level, like Vale herself. If Vale were to attack Feacha you'd have even more touble as none of her attacks can really penetrate  her semblance while Feacha can attack with impunity. the explosive bolt is the trumpcard and would definately be a problem for Jericho if she can combine it with more attacks, but Jericho is as much a tactical thinker as Feacha if not even more so. Also having to say a command to fire kind fo destroys any element of surprise in the actual attack and a crossbow bolt would be easy for a Huntsman to deflect or outright dodge, especially with a Dust attack or Feacha's semblance.

Also i cannot find mention of her arm detaching and opperating autonomously, although it does remind me of Thing from The Addams Family, so that's funny i guess.
