They generally seem to lack any kind of esp so surprise attacks, especially sniping, seem to be a viable method. additionally, there seems to be a limit to how quickly they can recover from using their powers. Like a man picking up a desk and throwing it, they simply cannot leap immediatley to the next. This is seen in the delay between telekinetic attacks when Eve and Bonaparte fight. In this space there is the ability to bring the fight to a direct physical conforntation where a hexenbiest doesn't have time to focus a magical attack. That said, many lack the sheer power to throw a person across the room or perform other meaningful attacks. For the truly powerful Hexenbiests, direct confrontation is ill advised. Grimm's have no inherent resistance to their power and can easily fall under their control if they are given the chance. The deaths of Henrietta, Bonaparte and Eve (almost) prove that regardless of power, surpise can kill them. I disagree about the concretration part. Adalind didn't need concetration when she broke Tony's fingers and Juilette didn't need concetration when she blow up the hood of a car. Same when Adalind was infront of the police station and blow out all the windows of cars. Same when she was heating the water in her apartment.

We have seen countless instances when thier power happens even when they aren't concetrating. And usually they are powerful instances.
