Merel was ready for action when she reached the battle, or more accurately when it reached her. While Darian and Alice had enough to work with there were still a fair number of Grimm that charged for Merel as she caught up with them, but Merel knew just how to deal with these smaller Hellcats. Between her training, her ice armour and her semblance there was hardly any damage the beasts could do to her on their own as she danced through the battlefield. Never letting a Hellcat hit her head on, always having her blade moving to intercept the next Grimm and knowing just how to move to never be brought off ballance from the force behind the charging Grimm. She advanced, slow and steady, leaving no grimm to strike her from behind. Her father's lessons always in the back of her mind.

Helena could see the hunters from the car were making their way toward her, and she appreciated the help. With the Alpha's taken care of and the pursuit over it was just a matter of mopping up the remainder of the horde. A task she could do on her own, but would be sped up significantly with the newcommers. Having cleared most of the Grimm immediately around her Helena could use the moment to let loose another burst of plasma fire that mowed down the Grimm trying to close the gap to her again. Taking care now to avoid the trio, leaving them to each handlewhatever Grimm lay between the three of them and herself Helena focussed her attention on the remainder of the horde and as they closed the distance again she switched effortlessly between ranged and close combat within only fractions of a second, using her lance with speed and power.

Merel changed tactics when she was faced with five of the Grimm trying to finally use their numbers to their advantage, no longer charging in mindlessly but coordinating and tyrying to surround her. Merel was prepared though and as they pounced she retalliated with the sound of thunder as the blue armour on her body shattered into a thousand shards that blasted outward from her into the Grimm, tearing across their black flesh and splintering off their bony skulls. It gave her just enough time to retake the initiative and attack with twin swords slicing through the stunned beasts, using the flowing movement of her attacks to also conjure back her protection from the Dust imbued into her gloves. This time with smaller individual pieces, but also creating a thick kite shield on her left arm to better protect herself as she resumed her advance into the horde.
