Assuming you don't have a completely absurd mindset about that character anyway. |

Cypha cheated Signum with her EC powers on their first match and Signum cheated Cypha with the AEC-Gladiator on their rematch.

And neither is it cheating to come up with a counter-strategy to get your own back once you've figured the other man out. Now, do you need a World Cultures Encyclopedia? I'm pretty sure they sell it down at the Infinite Library, just call 1800-SCRYA to find out more. Last edited by XenahortCharybdis; 2013-03-16 at 02:02. Reason: Dammit, Lhklan, I was editing it in!

And yeah, a "fair" fight feels like an oxymoron to me. |

No, Lhklan, you didn't miss anything at the time you posted...I was editing my post at that moment.
Anyway, to clarify, what Aki (he says) actually meant is that he believes that the AEC is not the only legitimate way in which Signum and the rest of the cast can defeat the Eclipse infectees. So yeah, let's leave him to elaborate on and defend that point instead of beating a dead -and misunderstood- dog. And if I'm not mistaken "fair" in the Middle Ages was the process of negotiating rather basic rules of engagement such as what weapons to use and the conditions of victory. There were still loads of loopholes you could exploit. Same then, same today. Same in everyone's favorite Nanohaverse. That's what I think at least.

Then there's Bardiche which is the living proof old devices can be optimized to fight the Eclipse and so far the 5th Gen upgrade has proven to be far more effective than most AEC-units present on the battlefield (with Fate being the most successful in fighting the Huckebein so far). It was also explicity mentioned said upgrade was more optimal to mages who posses a "Mana Conversion Affinity (MCA)" ...so it escapes from my limited comprehension why Signum got the Gladiator instead of an upgraded Laevatein. Being so relaint on an AEC-unit means she acknowledges Cypha is too much for her to handle so she uses the Gladiator to compensate for her flaws as a fighter. Quote:
Yup, basically this Eclipse VS. Section Six looks more and more like a confrontation between two corrupt forces. No surprise both sides tend to play dirty that much.

She use the AEC, you said that she's compensating. And for me, if she doesn't do it, I call her stupid. Beside, it's still a sword. So she still need to user her sword skills to win. There's "Skill surpassing power", but there's also "Power that can not be surpassed by skills alone". |

Beside, unless the sword is sentient and can take control of the user, it's useless if the user is knocked out. |

I would like to know why they got rid of the main advantage of the devices ...i mean ok, the AEC-units serve the purpouse of letting squishy mages/knights a chance to stand up against EC Drivers. But one of the main advantages of devices was the fact they can voluntarily help thier masters in a moment of need (Mach Caliber being a great example) and also being able to put their own determination to accomplish tasks usually beyond their perceived capabilities (kudos to Graf Eisen at the craddle, the cracked outclassed Hammer managed to invoke the gooddess of fortune by sheer force of will at the very last moment). Raising Heart at least got a decent assignment helping Nanoha with the coordination of the Fortress sub-units ...but i wonder what Laevatein, Graf Eisen, Cross Mirage, Strada or Kerykeion has been doing all this time xDU Synch with the AEC-equipement so this can work as a supportive unit to the main devices sounds like a pretty neat idea, hope Shari wises up on oncoming chapters xD
