3546 The Meaning of the Monster Slayer

Though Ves questioned whether it was a good idea to pair the Monster Slayer design with a large, heavy and unwieldy greatsword, Ketis remained unmoved.

"I know what I'm doing, Ves. I planned out my Monster Slayer years ago. Every design choice I make is deliberate to a degree you can't imagine."

"You say that but you are still proceeding with a swordsman mech configuration that only a minority of mech pilots will adequately be able to pilot!"

Greatswords were difficult weapons to wield! Not only were they slow, heavy, and ponderous to move, they could also cause accidents because they were difficult to control!

The Swordmaidens may be able to wield them with great proficiency, but that was because they poured years or decades into mastering this difficult weapon!
