Waiting on the english to come out, but if Weis' on Hysteria's dialog is true (that Miria's combat is extremely crude), then it only pushes the parallels to Claire vs Rigardo even further.
Not really, there 4 pages is nothing like Clare vs Rigardo... it's almost a perfectly even match. They're landing almost identical blows on each other however Hysteria's blows are scoring slightly more blood volume and occasonally landing a second minor blow. I guess we'll see if this holds true next chapter, so for now it's not a dodge vs speed contest like Clare vs Rigardo but really a battle of endurance like Miria claimed last chapter. Hysteria maybe be doing slightly more damage even now but we have no idea when either will hit there limit, Hysteria maybe a horrible healer after all and not used to being injured.

Of course, it's flawed since the warriors that, say, had their head taken cleanly like Teresa, suddenly don't look so great.
Yeah, tell me about I don't see how Dae got that stupid... but somehow apparently he did

Plot induced stupidity, I suppose but thankfully more just to hype Cassandra than something that will likely lead to Dae's downfall
