Er... how so? Because it's a weapon designed to kill eclipse infected? Weapons tend to be designed to kill things. That's what they are for. Specific weapons have specific designs often with tweaks for specialist purposes. Warhammers are good for dealing with armor, halbers are excellent anti-cavalry in addition to their intended design to deal with pikemen.

Even Laevateine's design is to efficiently fights mages while providing aditional support for mid- to long ranges of combat in case the attacker draws distance.

So please, do explain to me how her new equipment 'talks bad' about her overall skills.

Still she isn't able to fix broken bones as quickly as Cypha, it will be more or less like Piccolo VS. 2nd form Cell.
And all this even unreacted?

Yet still increased Signum's defense to the point where the attack that previously nearly tore her in four now only scratches her. Granted, it's not full guard, but Signum's not the one who lost her arm. Again.

As for the sword... can't get a good look at it, but meh. Fate's is bigger.
