Definitely higher. Qrow is a veteran hunter who has likely had decades to hone his chosen style. What we see Ruby use is likely just the bare basics of scythe-wielding. It's likely that Qrow just gave her the generic foundation of Scythe wielding since her build, personal style, and weapon will undoubtedly be different from his own.



Since pretty much every weapon used by a Hunter has a gun attached, it's pretty safe to assume that Qrow follows that trend. It might be a more archiac method, though, like Weiss and her Myrtenaster.



Since it's been hinted that Blake's weapon will be modified, I suspect Ruby might alter Crescent Rose eventually for greater adaptability. And oh the doors that will open from there...
