^^ As someone who plays Xenoblade Chroicles, I can tell you that that is not true. Melia summons Ether Elementals which, while summoned, give herself certain buffs. For example: Summon Wind increases speed, Summon Bolt increases Ether Damage, and so on. But then Melia can use Elemental Discharge to cause reliable damage, and side effects, with the summoned Elementals.

Not only that, but overall, Melia can counter anything Weiss can throw at her. If Weiss tries to attack her with Dust from afar, Melia can use Reflection which sends Ether projectiles back to sender. And Dust and Ether are pretty much the same thing, both Crystals that hold elemental power and in Xenoblade Chronicles, most characters attach Ether to their weapons, exactly like Dust.

And she has Hypnotize to temporarely put an enemy asleep (they will automatically wake up if they're attacked) and can use Spear Break followed by Starlight Kick to topple an opponent.

Also, I'd argue that Melia's Mind Blast can shut down Weiss' Semblance. The Art Mind Blast is an ability that can disable an enemy's Aura. I'm not going to take the easy way out and say that the Aura's in Xenoblade and the Aura's in RWBY are the same thing, because they aren't. But an Aura in Xenoblade is a special ability that someone activates that can buff them, just like the Semblances in RWBY.
