Why couldn't Arthur gain a upper edge?
He knew about Phantasia's weaknesses… And yet, he was completely helpless.
He couldn't turn the situation around, even when he started using his stronger skills left and right.
The reason?
Too much.
True, Phantasia maybe oriented in too many things, but at the same time it is giving the man too many weapons.
Not only that, but it is also a variety of different "weapons" that he needs to deal in different matter.
Dodge, block, counter, parry, he needs to know which one to use.
However, because of the sheer volume of the attacks, he straight up can't deal with it all, which in turn allows Phantasia to sneak in some more powerful strikes here and there, which Arthur couldn't handle.
