Given this is a lower-tiered fight, this comes down to abilities.

When the battle starts, the first thing to note is that there will be no use for stealth in this battle, since they are too close to each other. The Huntress’ passive Fear Aura will activate, but Noir s is me to resist somewhat. The Huntress will begin throwing axes and using various abilities, and given she’s fought gun users before, she’s certainly not going to make herself an easy target.

As well, Huntress clearly seems to have more combat experience. While not smart academically, she has taken down many German soldiers and hunters, while Noir’s intelligence is specialized in detective work. Her attacks are going to be quite accurate.

Given their close proximity, her Fear Aura is incredibly useful here (Possibly enough to overwhelm the resistance), but The Huntress has more. Status Reduction can ruin Noir’s chances at dodging with lowered speeds. A resistance to pain means Huntress can even get shot a few times and continue fighting. Mangled slows down Noir’s healing, Exhaustion make some it harder to dodge, and Hemmorage makes things messy with blood. She even has some more situational abilities such as Rage Mode if they come up. Huntress can also negate Extrasensory Perception.

Overall, I think Huntress takes this. She counters most of Noir’s abilities, and unless Noir instantly gets a shot to the head on Huntress, Noir will succumb to pain while Huntress will not.
