@Mega Birb He's got a ranged attack now, right? Which is better. But still.
I imagine a fight between him and Artoria going like this.
Torag: Stand still and fight me.
Artoria: No.
Torag: Fine, ranged attack go.
Artoria: Annnd Mephila shield.
Torag: Drat.
Artoria: I'm just gonna charge up an attack for umpteen-bazillion turns and then explode you. You just keep scowling and slowly approaching.
Or if he's really unlucky:
Torag: Stand still and... Oh shit, now I'm in half.
Artoria: Whee, spider cowboy powers!
