Well, Darian is quite strong. But a thing to note is that though Darian has fought a Leo-esk fighter with a tough shell to crack, he did so in a two-on-one match. The problem with any defencive fighter, is alone, though they have power, their real ability is the fact they can take pressure off their allies. They demand focus and attention, something far harder to do when you don't outnumber your foe.

As well as that, the reason Leo preferes the flail as a weapon, is because of it's ability to (much like a whip) amplify force, a slow movement in handle of the weapon can lead to devistanting speed near the top. Leo may not be fast. But his flail can crack down on anything around him with (unless his foe is aware of it) a surpisingly sudden blow, not only beating, but possibly ensnaring his foes in the chain of the weapon.
