Strategy can work but as Ravel said, tactics are useless against overwhelming power. This was how Issei beat Baraqiel's team. Issei not only beat the king but they destroyed more objects when Issei nuked the field. Mahabali lost not because he was surprised but also because he was overwhelmed. His entire team practically got swept the moment they came accross the Super Devils.
