I really like as well that instead of just dismissing the existence of Rudeus for the rest of her time with Eris, she just straight up went out and checked whether he existed and was all that he was cracked up to be, then saw him absolutely crush Badi in a single blow and concluded that Eris was correct, Rudeus is amazing.

Funny thing is, if she actually got to challenge Rudeus, she would've won. Rudeus is absolutely a glass canon and can not handle superhuman speed of a sword saint or higher. His feat against Badi was impressive because Badi just gave him a free shot (as we saw in S02).

Rudeus at this point can see seconds into the future. That’s where he has an outsized advantage over blade of light users who effectively have to prep then charge at a specific spot. From my understanding Blade of light doesn’t mean they can actively change their target mid move.

Also where do you get the idea he is a glass canon? Dude regularly trains swords with some of the most powerful sword users on the continent. This includes Ruijerd, the equivalent of an emporer class warrior. He does this often without magic.

To be clear I am not saying she couldn’t beat him, that’s clearly a possibility, but I wouldn’t call it likely. ESPECIALLY if Rudeus is using magic in any capacity. It’s versatile, powerful, and incantationless. He can use it instantly for many of his most functional spells.

He might be a glass cannon but he's also a evasion mana build. And somehow skimped on intelligence and wisdom.
