Ruby's Silver Eyes

[Izreldan]

So, what happened to Ruby's Silver Eyes?

They are capable of severely wounding Maidens (and they work on Grimm too, so they're not just a hax against Maidens)

Shouldn't Ruby's tier be "High 8-C. High 7-C with Silver Eyes"?

Aren't Silver Eyes specifically effective against both Maidens and Grimm? (So saying they're not just hax against Maidens doesn't matter much).

They are

 

[SchroKatze]

The Silver Eyes are effective against Grimms/souless beings, not Maidens. Raven was just fine when Ruby used it on the same room, but Cinder was affected due to her Grimm arm.

 

[Kaltias]

Salem quite literally says that Cinder's new power gave her a weakness though.

Also Cinder doesn't have a Grimm arm before the fall of Beacon

 

[SchroKatze]

Yep, she had. Thats how she forcibly absorbed half of Amber's powers, and the Grimm coming out of her arm just proves that. Also, as I said, Raven was completely fine, despite taking an direct stare from The Silver Eyes.

 

[Damage3245]

Writer oversight? Or maybe Raven was out of range.

 

[TheRustyOne]

Salem said that the Maiden's power are weak to the silver eyes.

Watts: "Even without her new power it should have been effortless

Salem: It is because of the Maiden's power.

[WeeklyBattles]

Silver Eyes work specifically against Grimm and Maidens, Cinder was affected worse because she has both

 

[SchroKatze]

Raven was completely unaffected.

 

[TheRustyOne]

Raven was completely unaffected.

Doesn't matter, Salem said Maiden's are weak to the Silver Eyes. Tell me if it was all about the Grimm then why did Cinder lose her eye and arm to the Silver Eyes if she didn't have a Grimm arm yet?

Why did Salem said that the Maiden's power was responsible for Cinder losing?

A possible answer is that Grimm are more sensitive to the Silver Eyes than the Maidens, remember Ruby didn't fully activate them since Emerald stopped her.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Ruby also has literally no control over her silver eyes

 

[PrettyFearMachine]

Sorry, but "Doesn't matter" is not a good answer. And Raven being unaffected by Silver Eyes kinda contradicts them being effective against Maidens (not saying they aren't though, the writers probably forgot about that)

 

[The_Everlasting]

They probably just did it to facilitate the reveal.
