If that's the case, and by the size of the carpet-bombing area that Green stated, and with the fact that Ysolda and Erde were fairly close to the center, then that would mean that Ysolda would be a short distance outside the blast radius. Granted, the heat of the explosions would still be intense, and the shockwave would pepper her Essence Mech-thingy with dirt, rocks, and small debris... but nothing powerful enough to just fuck her day over.

I can work with this. Basically her realizing that what she's up against is like nothing she's ever seen before, etc, etc. Seem good?
