Still the Fortress Mode is for the most part "Awesome but Impractical", even toughlooks to be pretty efficient i still don't get totally convinced by Nanoha using such a saturated equipement, she's like a fast bird flying on the sky but she looks now more like a floating castle xDU.

The same goes for Signum, it will be jarring if she receives something similar to the Fortress mode, i prefer some sleeker equipement(one the suits her Lightning Bruiser style).

That's what i meant, the AEC equipement give the Section Six mages the chance to actually fight back without getting all their attacks cancelled, but an effective method to actually defeat a Huckbein is yet to be seen.

The spartan way is cool when you're on groups and on a defensive stance, Signum is an offensive focused warrior and also lacks the group of people necessary to make said shield strategy effective(they were uhm... 300 you know xDU).

Tsuzuki is you by chance read this forums and don't hate me by this point ....give Signum a super-scabbard with defensive qualities, it will be all kinds of cool xD!
