The octavia development over the past 2 possibly 3 season has been weird. Are we seriously supposed to believe she became strong enough to beat warriors that have trained their whole lives just by being on the earth for 4 months?? For real. 1st Month she spent without any physical training, then the ark came down, she spent 1 week or so as Indra's apprentice (second), in which they were busy doing a bunch of things, like traveling to tondc, getting bombed, marching to mount weather, so i'm not sure how much time she had to actually get taught. And then she separated from Indra at the tunnels. Now during the 3 month timeskip, we see that she has been sleeping on the outside of arkadia, and there is absolutely nothing to suggest she had been trained by anyone, because the next time we meet indra, the information she gives skaikru suggest she has not been in contact for a long time (since they know nothing about clarke's bounty, and niylah implies the bounty has been up for a long time, most likely after the mount weather incident). Point is no-one trained octavia, so how the hell are we supposed to believe she can fight Echo? Kill mulitple grounders with ease. Lol she even earned the name skairipa after commiting one murder that no one was really sure about, lol she earned this from a brutal grounder community that should have seen much greater feats of combat. And lol she was the only who could represent skaikru? Bellamy (although also suspect, was trained till the point he could overpower lincoln for a second, he still lost), Kane has been shown to be able to restrain bellamy, and seemed like he was the Chief Guard, or they could have taken any proficient fighter. Seriously, no one trained in grounder combat? that was just a weak excuse. The writers really had no way else to make octavia relevant to the story, she had to become Batman (Plot) in season 4. #LOLSKAIRIPA
