@Koury That is true, there are a lot of situations where ensnaring weapons have flaws, that I will not argue, however, other then catching it on an unmovable object, Leo has the advantage of raw power. blocking (or catching) a spiky flail is easier said then done.

Catch it by the chain and the laws of physics are going to have the chain on the far side of what you caught continue swinging towards your back. And block it with a blade, and suddenly your weapons are intertwined. Just like a sword is designed to be able to deal focused damage to a devastating degree, a Flail is a weapon designed to be incredibly hard to block. However, if his weapon was somehow blocked, I do feel the need to state that the bottom end of his weapon is wooden and extremely thick, making it a powerful bashing tool when the top end of his weapon has been ensnared.

@Rain I should ask, just because I am a bit curious. How breakable are the cards, because about 70% of the time, Leo has his flails spinning about his head, and dropping a blow into a swarm of thin cards might shatter, or at the very least, disrupt it's ability to work.
