I think you've misunderstood what I was trying to say. I'm not saying that what happened in that fight will happen in this one, I'm saying that there are a lot of similarities between the two, so I'll explain that for you now.

When the battle begins, Ulric and Orion will undoubtably move forward in CQC, as will Liath if he in not already within range. Since Orion moves faster than Ulric, he'll be further away from his teammate when the two fighters meet in combat.

Not only is Amber capable of a barrage attack similar to what Liath is capable of (fireballs, ice shards, etc.), but she is also very competant in melee and has a weapon capable of short-range fire (as seen by when she burned Mercury, which is similar to Orion's Dragon's Breath rounds in terms of range and how they are used). Need I point out that she was beating both Mercury and Emerald quite decisively before Cinder got involved.

I compare Viridis to Cinder for good reason, and that is because they both use bows with similar ammunition. Do I think Viridis could take Cinder in a fight? No, of course not. But the main use Cinder used of her bow was the explosive arrows used to knock down Amber, which in my opinion was the turning point in the fight, and to do that she just had to have them land next to her - not exactly a diffcult thing to do, especially if you consider Viridis' Semblance allowing for greatly improved accuracy, which Cinder lacks. So unless you're saying that Viridis couldn't make that shot, it's not such an outlandish thought now, is it?

And finally, you say that Glyphs can be controlled more precisely than arrows. You're evidence for this? In terms of Viridis' arrows, we're talking about five max per volley. For Liath, it's around 20. If he wants to support Orion, he'll have to reduce the number of Glyphs, which I see no problem with. But 2 or 3 Glyphs don't make a barrage. The whole point of a barrage is that it covers a large area and does a lot of damage, making it so the target can't avoid it. The more precise it is, the easier it is to avoid since they are trained on one spot. I shouldn't have to say this, but the instinct which detects danger applies to all Aura-users, including Ulric. He'll know if something's about to his him in the back.

I hope this clarification helps you understand my point a little better.
