It was good that she had an encounter that forced her to adapt. A lot of players seem to get stuck in an "every problem is a nail" mentality, where they get locked into whatever playstyle/build they first discover that works. In addition to being less interesting to watch, it can lead to situations where encounters become harder than they need to be, because they don't recognize alternative approaches.
This will serve her well when she meets Astel and discovers her ground pounds are useless.
