Torrent I'm seeing a diffirence between Beacon's level of preparation and a reasonable level of preparation for what you find in the wild. Again, I'm making some assumptions, mainly that the wild is not filled with a perfectly unpredictable distribution of Grimm.

Lets take being thrown off of a cliff. Now which would be easier to teach, how to fall of a cliff, or how to possition a fight so that you don't have to worry about falling off a cliff? Of course, the improtant thing is working on the fly, not falling off a cliff, but maybe my point is getting accross. Same thing with a Nevermore. If you are in a place where a Nevermore attack is reasonable, why are you out there on your own?

My point with bringing up SNK is that you don't need the best to be in the recon group. Even people of lower skill can, with proper startegy and predictive power, survive. I suppose the casualties are still high (the one excurstion which we followed was exceptional though). Yes, they all have the same skills to deal with the titans because the titans are by and large all the same.

Yes, the fact of numbers is imporant, but I question exactly what it take to "hold off" the Grimm. I mean like have you tried armoring up?

Ugh, I have to cut this short, but I think I got through most of your post.
