Sort of. The way I see it, we're sort of hung up on 'x will body y in the solstice' from an ability perspective, which isn't awful, but it's more interesting to think about how two different characters would approach a fight with plans and tactics. Mimanon made a great point awhile back that if a wizard goes into a battle, they're going to cheat hard, and in that context, I think Tenshi's the perfect character to explore that, since she's headstrong, but has a great deal of power and tactical xp to back it up.Seija and Goro won the fight by laying traps beforehand, bluffing like hell about how effective those traps were, causing her to lower her guard and expectations by appearing to take the whole thing casually, and using the knowledge gap on her abilities against her. If Tenshi came out swinging 100%, like Mokou did, they'd be toast. Yukari and Okina, while proud and capable of mistakes or oversights, are strong and cunning, so they'll come prepared as well as be tactically capable of changing gears when things go awry.This is part of the reason Ran told Seija to act on instinct and Goro to shut his eyes in a fight. Seija has, arguably, some of the best tactical xp, while Goro is used to planning ahead, so it raises their combat effeteness by maximizing both their strengths and it's why they could pull off the imploding rock counter as well as effectively deal with Tenshi's charge. It's sort of similar to how I imagine Yukari/Ran fight, although Seija has more agency. They can close gaps and probably doors by extension, but Sage bullshit is more then just their capabilities, and even if it was just that, being able to riposte a few jabs doesn't make you a fencer.
tl;dr: prep time is a cool story dynamic.
