Probably one of the closest fights of the tourney so far, this fight comes down to a few things. Firstly, the personalities. I'm using the standard Deat Battle and Outskirts Battledome assumptions that these characters are in the fight in the mindset to win. With this considered, Tianee not liking hurting humans will NOT hinder her in this fight.

Now then, Tianee having killed an Ursa on her lonesome by 16, she has a good deal of experience. Kaius has a lot of experience in training, but it may not transition as well into dire combat as Tianee's combat experience. For the weapons, Kaius uses a slow, strong weapon in melee, and a pair of gauntlets for ranged, and melee. Tianee uses... Basically a trident drill with a mechanism that begs that at one point Tianee says "GET OVER HERE!". That said, Kaius is going to be spending most of the fight in Melee range, where he's constantly at risk of the devastating power of Tianee's semblance and weapon. He'll need to take more hits to take Tianee down, but Tianee's experience will make her a versatile adaptable enemy who proves very hard to kill.

In addition, though Kaius is a strategist, a plan can only be thought out over information you actually know. In all likelihood, Tianee's first time shooting her trident and pulling him in, he'll be completely taken off guard, and it'll be too late. My vote is for Lil' T. Neviah Represent.
