Hey, I'm defending Homura for once. Imagine that.
Yeah sadly at that point there wasn't much for Homura to do. Kyoko was set on her path and forcing a retreat could have been a disaster. In this case it was too late.

There is definitely a lot to regret though for Homura as she likely walks into this battle alone. Her level head/cold sentiment and singular focus on Madoka aren't bad things. Focusing on one goal should be easier than trying to deal with a ton of things. If she had a more friendly personality might have gotten along better with Mami and Sayaka before impressions were set. If so then Mami probably doesn't bind Homura and get killed. That incident alone was huge since without it Sayaka doesn't build as hostile a stance against Homura and maybe doesn't even make a contract at all. Plus if she wasn't so focused just on Madoka might have gotten along better with Madoka anyways. Always saying to forget her friends who were Puella Magi was something Madoka couldn't do and made things more conflicted.

Obviously the main problem at the core of everything is Kyuube. But Homura's future knowledge could have gone a lot further if things had been done differently. Of course if she has gone through different timelines might have thought this was her only option. Just too bad with how things are looking right now.
