Alright, thanks for the clarification.

However, I never once talked about 'throwing' the flail. Merely wielding it at multiple ranges, and as I said previously, catching a moving flail is right up there with catching a moving scythe. Easier said then done. (Seriously, would you try to catch a whip?)

And yes, Leo likes to keep his foes out of face-to-face range. However, that's because he loses the ability to control his foe at that point. (Something he's very good at doing) Not due to a lack of skill in hand-to-hand combat. While he has no training in it, he's big enough that a 'swift' knee or jab to anything up in his face would at the very least buy him some time, he's not fancy in a brawl with fists, but his fist still packs a punch, yet I should stress, getting that close in the first place isn't easy.

Though I have to note that you seem to be overestimating Darians speed, it's hard to move out of the way of an attack that changes half-way through it's swing, and from what I can read from Darian semblance, he's only able to use it five times in a row, meaning that each one must take a bit out of him, and he seems to be almost constantly using it in combat to avoid attacks, that means that he's going to be either run down after using it for a while. Or having to retreat to regain his breath, meaning that he'll free up whoever is fighting him to gang up on his teammate.
