DarkSky Dominance

After activating Body Reinforcement, Luke felt like he could finally fight against Troy on even terms, as there was nothing separating the two once his stats got artificially buffed.

Troy's advantage over him was his longer range of attack and unorthodox fighting style that he wasn't accustomed to facing.

While his own advantage over Troy was his technical training, as he kept his shield and sword close and did not let his opponent exploit any openings at all.

Being well trained at the academy on how to deal with enemy aggro, Luke felt confident in defending himself proficiently, which was why although Troy tried his best to establish an advantage by becoming overly aggressive, he had no breakthrough in opening up Luke's defenses.

In such a fight, stamina became the decisive factor as when skill and strength became evenly matched, the outcome of the fight hinged on who would exhaust their energy first.
