So you've seen Different view of reality? Good, makes my job easier; Yes I meant the wingblades from the animation, not the armor, my bad. I'm not thinking specifically about how they're designed, but the concept of the thing. Back to point, sorry, I see both good and bad with them again. Many variables have both pros and cons which counter each other.

Something lightweight= Thin or certain types of metal, which most of the time isn't very strong. To my knowledge.

Wings being used As the weapons= weapon breaks from clash would most likely take the wing with it. Strategically in IRL dueling, the quickest way to disarm an opponent is to target the arm holding the weapon, specifically the shoulder blade, one of the reasons pauldrons were made.
