Looks like I was misled.

Reading the translated bonus novel, Silver Crow's Level 2 "Hard Armor" choice wasn't a reinforcement, but an Enhanced Armament.

Makes sense, really. Since Silver Crow benefits so much from being lightweight, heavier armor would be a double-edged sword. So it would be advantageous to have the ability to equip or remove an external piece of armor depending on what weight he needs to be.

Though sometimes being heavier can be an advantage in flight, such as when he wants to lose altitude more rapidly, either falling to avoid an attack or adding mass to his diving punch or kick.

Indeed, thinking about it like that has me rethinking the idea of a Duel Avatar whose major feature is switching between a lightweight basic form and a heavyweight armored state.
