Pleidas' gears are more like custom created gears. I'm more worried about the magical properties that may or may not be there. If there's really not much of an enchantment there then it's nothing more than super hardened armor that looks like... well, maid uniforms with extra decorations. If the BS members all have special enchantments from wearing their gears then things can get pretty even though like you said, speculation at best.

I do remember Lupus being a Cleric but you do have to remember... Yuri's a Dullahan and Shizu's an automaton. Casting healing on an undead isn't really helping and can something of a construct be healed by well... healing magic? In term of healers, I meant those that can help to assist healing multiple types of team members. Narberal, Lupusregina, Solution and probably Entoma would benefit from holy type healing magic but Yuri's definitely going to suffer in a long fight since she cannot receive any sort of battlefield medical support because even the potions are a no go. Just who's the crazy fuck that made her deputy leader! Shizu may not be affected much if she keeps her range. If Yuri ever does fall, there's literally nobody else to keep the group in check. Well, Narberal has been taking lessons from Ainz directly so she probably can take up the mantle temporarily.

So, I guess I must have remembered the part with the Skeleton Dragon wrongly. Need to read the RAW LN tomorrow.

I wouldn't dismiss the claim that magic will beat martial arts hands down though. For a situation of one on one, it will be difficult but not impossible; depending on what gears the one performing the martial arts can use. Anything that can cause confusion and distraction would at be a plus. The main problem here is that we're not talking about a duel but rather a group battle. Unless you go all out with an AOE attack, having to deal with multiple martial arts users can be a bane for a magic caster. Also, as I said, the Black Scripture does have an overall more members compared to Pleidas. It's pretty much a two to one encounter.

Since you mention Tatsuya, you do remember that the guy is plotting to kill his "aunt", under the no-speaking rule of the military and hiding the fact that he possesses a magic so powerful that he can literally recreate Big Bang. Of course he has to lay low somehow and let others take the spotlight because there's no point letting people know he's crazy awesome (add to the fact that his brain is already fucked up) in order to perfom his role as Guardian. Still, his first priority just got screwed anyway.
