Issei’s peerage as of late has too many support and not enough pure power. All Asia can really do to support combat is summon Fafnir, Xenovia is strong but I feel like she’s lacking compared to how the series and other characters are progressing, Ravel is mostly there to help Issei run and strategize, and his new queen Ingvild while having lots of potential of becoming very strong it seems like will be used mainly for support too as she can’t control her power yet. So really the only manpowers Issei has rn is himself and Xenovia which sucks because he needs more people he can really on in combat other then trying to do things all himself imo when it comes to really strong opponents
