Correction, Vasco has the Durandal II which is superior to the Durandal Xenovia has. Not to mention, Vasco also has the Galantine.

Also we don't know how much Valerie has improved, you're currently assuming Valerie doesn't have much experience but are you sure she doesn't have? She was abused while with the Vampires, for all we know, Valerie has enough experience with her Longinus due to the years of experiment she underwent. Besides Valerie managed to use the Incinerate Anthem during the Evil Dragon War, so we can't just randomly assume Valerie doesn't know how to use her Longinus. Don't forget Valerie managed to make Vasco's body younger. In short the current Vasco is much stronger than he was in V19.
