Was Clare's Yoki Reading Technique doomed to fail against Priscilla?

[PDQ]

From what I could tell, Clare developed her Yoki reading for the sole sake of fighting Priscilla.
However, not only does Priscilla, even awakened, apparently have good Yoki suppression ability, but when she wasn't even fully awakened, her Yoki was so large even Teresa couldn't read it. So while it was useful later on, her original purpose was flawed, wasn't it?

If we go by Rigardo's description of it, then yes, it appears trying to use Yoki reading to predict Priscilla's attacks is pointless.

However, it all depends on what Riful "found".

I was talking more about Teresa than Rigaldo as she should be the most qualified at knowing

I wonder if the other AOs are like that.

I was using Rigardo to reinforce your statement, in which you had already pointed out Teresa's reaction :zaru

When "endless yoki is pouring into her wounds" I'm betting it's not something readable :zaru

You are so wrong man...first Clare reading skill was not meant to kill only Priscilla but to survive until that day if Clare didn't know this skill Ofelia, the Male AB, Rigardo, Dauf, Some random AB from the North War or even some Yoma loser that sneaking on her could end her revenge killing Clare before even she meet the new Priscilla and i sure that skill will help her when the time comes.

well the #6 claymore had no clue priscilla was even there while she was right next to her... so yeah. but clare knows what priscilla looks like i believe. although it would be kinda funny to see clare meet raki and not realize that girl is priscilla

[Sci-Fi]

Depends on how one looks at it. Clare has encountered an A.O. (Riful) as well as formidable A.B.'s (Rigardo and Dauf). Galatea pointed out Riful to Clare and Riful has been around long enough to hide her yoki. Then after the fight Clare got to sense Riful's full potential. So one could say she has gained valuable experience, both in sensing and fighting high level awakened beings.

Clare should probably thank Galatea and later Miria for developing a wider and more precise yoki detection ability as well as Rubel for sending her on those A.B. hunting missions. This doesn't mean Clare could beat Priscilla one-on-one, if Pris has almost unlimited yoki to up her power levels, but Clare could survive like she did against Rigardo and after the TS Riful.

As noted by others. Clare hasn't sensed Priscilla's power yet (full or hidden), so nobody can say whether or not her technique is advanced enough at this point to be of any help. Galatea or Tabitha may or may not be able to detect Priscilla right off or at a distance. Outside of the A.O.'s, Rene is the only Claymore that sensed Priscilla's yoki, although closeup.

clare should be able to identify priscilla

that's the minimum i expect her to be able to do with teresa's power

Also, guys, I'd like to point out, PDQ didn't mean just Clare being able to identify/find Priscilla.

He's talking about Teresa's ability, the ability Clare inherited to battle AOs (see Miria's note when they fight an AB for the first time).

He's asking, if Teresa couldn't read Priscilla movements anymore at 80% power, Clare would obviously not be able to read Priscilla's awakened "endless yoki" effectively enough to read her movements. Thus, making her original purpose for developing the skill useless.

Claire isn't as good as Teresa at yoki reading, so I think she will only identify Priscilla, but won't be able to use her ability to fight her.

But we have to say that Claire has faced some AB and AO, maybe Teresa couldn't read Priscilla's yoki flow, because she wasn't used to reading yokis so large.
Or maybe because teresa excelled at sensing she was overwhelmed, but Claire isn't as good as her, so she would be able to read some attacks.
