While in RPs, Raven CAN dodge, and Mariposa has no records or seemingly has no demonstration of close/hand-to-hand, Raven's hand-to-hand is not enough to handle fighting both Seager and Serena up-close. If Seager and Serena were purely close-ranged, they might end up being zoned, but Serena's destructive capability both close and far is enough to even the odds.

Once Seager gets close, his incredible strength can already injure the ranged fighters. The only factor I'm not sure about is Seager's speed. He has the durability to go through ranged attacks, but if he's not fast enough, he could be held back by Raven's CC, otherwise, the CC would be reduced by his sharkskin. Serena sort of suffers a similar case with her innacuracy making up for her AoE, but her Semblance might work to her advantage in case she's experienced in winter combat.

So here are the Pros and Cons for each person imo

Raven

+ Ranged-fighter with great CC

+ Versatile and Tricky Semblance

+ CC with Grenade AoE make for a great combination

+ Able to dodge and has some form of hand-to-hand

+ Can possibly survive Snowfall through his Dust mastery

- Can be overcome by the physical strength of Seager and/or Serena.

- Semblance desecrates defense

- While having hand-to-hand, may not be as experienced in close combat like both of them

Mariposa

+ Ranged

+ Agile enough to dodge attacks fluidly

+ Dust Arrows can provide CC

- Low Endurance

- No Semblance

- Lack of hand-to-hand

Seager

+ Durable through skin and Aura

+ Currently the strongest physically in this fight

+ Great Hand-to-hand combat ability

- A bit sluggish in terms of movement and possibly attack speed

- Ranged option is unreliable toward people able to move quick

- Short-term memory loss and Frenzy could be easily taken advantage of

Serena Ciano

+ Destructive Potential and Semblance are effective AoE

+ Physically powerful

+ Despite inaccuracy, still has an effective ranged option

+ Semblance can affect the accuracy of the ranged Huntsmen

- Inaccurate

- Gullible
