You could say the same thing about Clare. If you took a skill from any claymore you could probably call them average as well.

Teresa and Priscilla were very similar. Priscilla always fought while supressing her yoki to the limit. Teresa didn’t need to release her powers because she could acutely sense yoki.

Well even without her ability, her stats that the organization gauged at her would be enough to make her much more than an average Claymore. Also note that the Organization does not have an accurate judgement of the sly Teresa, as revealed in the manga special.

Since Teresa is so used to her extra advantage, she was surprised by it being negated and also by Priscilla’s remarkable strength. Priscilla is also by no means an average Claymore.

@Cliff: “why would theresa think about killing priscilla?”
- I guess u understand what your question mean, but will u understand what my question mean? “Why would Teresa lets Priscilla go instead of taking her head down?”

- Ok i will try to find a way to make it easy to explain it to u.
I will guess that Teresa know what is the strength of Priscilla has, I will explain it to Number so we can easily understand it, I will give it 100 dmg(damage) and this is what Priscilla true power has but at that time she only manage to achieve it only 30 dmg of her 100 dmg and Teresa has somewhere above 100 dmg. That is make sense to why Teresa said that she says the same the next time they met again.

- If u want me to explain how does this explanation make sense to that battle, then alright.

@@@ – you know that Irene know nothing about Teresa true power, so what she explains to everyone is not 100% true. And the reason y nobody know Teresa has her power above 100 dmg because everyone only know what she want to let them know and only see what she let them see. And how do i know Teresa has above 100 dmg even above Priscilla’s? Because she keep Priscilla alive instead of take her head off. Teresa knows that even in the near future Priscilla can achieve her 100dmg she still need a little bit long way before Priscilla can surpassed her.

- I will explain y i am so pretty sure that Irene know nothing about Teresa true power. As u can see that Irene can’t even predict how strong Teresa is and Im pretty sure that she has cross sword with Teresa many times already but she still can’t even guess strong Teresa is? She has never seen Teresa release her 10% yoma power yet until that fight with Priscilla. I guess this is enough for explain it.

@ItAintEazy: (what i said above also apply to u too) And Teresa is not a average claymore even without without her acute ability to sense yoki, she is still an Elite Pro of Claymore. As u can see in that battle even with the fast atk speed and incredible move speed that Priscilla used to atk her and even without rely on her ability to sense yoki she still handle it like nothing after a moment of the battle. Do u see how god she is now?

Remember, Teresa had difficulty with Priscilla because Priscilla was able to supress her yoki. Teresa was only able to overcome Priscilla’s initial assault through the grace of her experience. Indeed without her acute ability to sense yoki, Teresa would only be an average claymore.

I’m sure that the Teresa that put the boots to Clare in episode five would’ve killed Priscilla without a thought.

She knew the other claymore’s weren’t any threat but recognized that Priscilla might be trouble in the future. Just as Clare has become stronger, I’m sure Priscilla could’ve become stronger.

My guess is that only claymores can increase their strength over time. Awakened ones don’t seem to be able to get any stronger. That would explain why in episode fifteen Riful had Duff killed that awakened claymore for being too weak.
