Leon was playing a delicate game of chess.
He was heavily injured, his brain was aching, and yet he couldn't afford to stop thinking and plotting because he couldn't afford to let his enemy settle within a consistent battle rhythm.
This was why he choose chaos, and the only reason why he was able to execute it and last this long was because of his Class.
Leon already realized long ago that unlike what people thought, Cyber Gladiators were not the ultimate combat Class. In his eyes, Mechanists were the ultimate combat Class because of their infinite versatility and adaptability.
If he was an Ascended of any other Class, General Sylvari Charr would have murdered him within the first 10 seconds of this clash.
No matter how much power a D Rank Cyber Gladiator had, all that power meant nothing in the face of a vastly superior opponent like a C Rank Ascended. They would be overwhelmed with sheer quality and killed.
