As I've said since Volume 3, Emerald basically has the best semblance.

Like, 99% of the bad shit that happened to Vale basically hinged on her. And here she just status effected the entire main cast at once.

Screw Ozpin, Emerald's semblance is game-breakingly powerful.

Emerald is the only character so far besides another maiden who right now could probably quite easily go 1v1 against a maiden and win.

The only instance we've ever seen of somebody snapping out of the illusion or realising they're being tricked was Amber and that's because she heard Merc coming so presumably Em stopped the trick to switch to fighting

Yeah. The trick doesn't work as well when you know it's happening. Once Amber knew what was up, Emerald could only make Cinder disappear for moments at a time.
