@Rain Fair enough, but even if thinness doesn't mean fragility, thinness is still less durable then thickness. Leo's thick armor might be able to shrug them off. Even if he couldn't destroy all of them though, with only 13 cards, each one destroyed severely reduces her capability.

And a comparison to Penny might not be fair, a blade is far harder to stop/destroy then a razor.

BTW speaking of Penny, how exactly are the cards controlled? (I might just not seen it in the weapons section) because Penny had some strings on her in order to do her thing.

@Koury Also, a thought came to me, and correct me if I'm wrong. But Darian likes to control combat. He seems to have a tenancy to block and counter, using his speed to fight on his terms.

Which, I think, would lead to a terrible match up against Leo. Leo may not be the fastest, he may not be the smartest, but what he is, is good at fighting on his terms.

Candidus (Leo's weapon) is a multi-chained flail, not only for the extra power, but for the extra versatility in combat. Your foe is dancing right at the edge of your range? At the last moment, deploy another flail and force them to either take a hit, or step into your preferred range. Someone is proving too hard to take at close range? Deploy your longest one and spin like a damn discus thrower. Forcing them to give you some much needed space. Leo knows he's normally hitting above his skill level, so he forces his foe to fight on his terms.

A sword is a damn good weapon, but like any weapon, it has flaws, it needs to have control to be useful.

A sword is a weapon of skill and focus. A flail is a weapon of Manipulation and Disruption.
