I will deny the usefulness of a stamina booster, but it prevents her from getting tired. That doesn't acount for damage, the Hinezumi is bound to end up with numerous cuts from the Salamanders sword and claws, not to mention punching the Salamanders scales would be like punching concrete. Even if the strain of moving and punching is eliminated the strain of constantly receiving damage will slow anyone down.

The Salamander on the other hand doesn't need to move nearly as much, her weapon offers superior reach, her tail makes flanking attacks risky at best, and all she needs to do to prevent damage is shift so the Hinezumi hits scales instead of skin. Meanwhile the Hinezumi has to move constantly just to avoid being skewered. The Hinezumi can win, but I still say the advantage lies with the Salamander.
