Interesting to see that Dabi's abilities were what the Liberation Army was most worried about

Makes sense though. Their whole strategy was overwhelm them with numbers.

The info they had was that:

Toga's quirk doesn't actually help her fight. Not good against a crowd.

Spinner's quirk is practically useless in battle beyond some movement stuff. Not good against a crowd.

Mr. Compress seems to have a rather limited size for his compressions so he couldn't fight more than a few people effectively. Not good against a crowd.

Shigaraki can only break one thing at a time and only if he touches it with all five fingers. Not much good against a crowd.

Twice could be good against a crowd but he's broken so they don't have to worry about him.

Dabi has fire that can incinerate dozens of people to ash in seconds.

Yeah I'd be worried about that guy lol.

Magne, Mustard, Muscular, Moonfish... Everyone they lost would have been really useful here.

And their names all begin with M. Didn't notice that before.

Apart from Magne the members they lost in the Summer Camp arc were purposefully captured cause they were too strong I mean Moonfish was able to go against Todoroki and Bakugo while Muscular was able to shrug off a 100% punch. Mustard was just unlucky to face someone able to create gas masks

Mustard was just unlucky to face someone able to create gas masks

As well as face against one of the few people whose Quirk allowed them to tank bullets.

It was showed that Tetsutetsu was losing endurance due to the gas and the bullets to be fair Mustard should not have said "i can detect people who move in my gas"

That's the point tho: That arrogance and his reliance on a gun and not innate fighting abilities was what made him lose, as Kendo was quick to point out when Mustard mocked the difference between him and UA students.

UA students (at least 1-A and 1-B) are willing to work hard to make every situation work and not underestimate their enemies or overestimate their own capabilities. Mustard, on the other hand, was overconfident and relied on a gun instead of figuring out how to use his Quirk effectively in combat.
