On one hand, RWBY aura is kinda broken, as it allows Hazel to not only ignore a lot of damage until his aura breaks, but his semblance on top of that allows him to ignore ALL pain. Hood punches Hazel, Hazel might get pushed back, but for all intents and purposes, he's gonna ignore it
On the other hand, RWBY aura has a crippling weakness as once it hits zero, EVERYTHING stops working. Aura, semblance, all gone. And Hood's plenty strong enough to shatter Hazel's aura in a couple of hits, especially since Hood is arguably equal to Hazel in hand to hand combat
Then again, not only does Hazel have better regeneration, elemental attacks which Hood resists none of, and more reliable range due to dust projectiles
(meanwhile Hood needs to stretch his arms which runs the risk of getting his arm ripped off cuz of Hazels' Class G), he also has a very significant scaling chain on top of this. Hood might be stronger than rappa cuz he broke Rappa's shoulder with a single blow, Hazel after a single Electric Dust enhancement could 1 shot Qrow, a character he was comparable to, and nearly shatter his aura on the spot. Hazel can stack multiple other elements on top of this, each of which should grant him an equivalent stat amp
Hood starts at 3 times stronger, and can kinda 1 shot the calc he scales to (breaking Rappa's arm), but Rappa does still scale to him and could hurt him
Hazel has 5 different elements at his disposal
Hazel starts 3 times weaker, but not only does he upscale from the calc on his profile (his calc comes from Weiss and Queen Lancers and he's stronger than both) but each Dust Injection gives him a 1 shot worthy amp on top of his base form
At the very least, Overdosing should help him close the gap between him and Hood, in which case Hazel overwhelms Hood through forcefields and sheer versatility
not to mention his stamina is LEAGUES upon LEAGUES better than Hoods. Apparently, Hood's abilities (I assume quirks) start dropping after a few minutes, meanwhile Hazel can just fight forever and never drops his output due to his semblance
So overall, unless Hood goes out of his way to shatter Hazel's aura off the bat to cripple him immediately, I see Hazel winning this more often than not. He's probably gonna be forced to use Overdose, but once he does, Hood can't do much
voting Hazel
