I believe he mentions in the episode how ill prepared he is to be in a one on one fight against a physically aggressive monster. Seeing as his magic largely deals in summoning undead, which he couldn't use for the fight, he ended up at a huge disadvantage since he basically had no offensive line to take a beating while he dealt in magic. Not to mention that, with his magic skills, he definitely seems more like a back row raid group member than a front row fighter. Shalltear is basically raid boss status, so the fact that Ains can handle her on his own as a mage that can't use half the skills that would be useful is pretty impressive. |
Sorry, that was basically a WoW joke, where melee have traditionally hated Ice Mages more than life itself. But, yes, they did a good job of setting up why he would struggle against that particular opponent.
I wish we could see his buff bar.
