I don't like doing this, but I'm getting tired of the people getting pissed on the fact that Shirou and Archer are having Difficulties in Tracing Mecha-shift Weapons.

Ok, so apparently people just don't get it do they? There's a difference between Magical Weapons and Mecha-shift Weapons. While sure, the concept is the same, The fact is. A Noble Phantasm still follow the basics of a proper weapon. Look at Heracles' Stone Sword... IT'S STILL A SWORD! of course it turns into an axe at max but still! That's the basic concept of them! They're still normal weapons! Just overpowered and full of magic! Except for EA. That's just built different.

I specifically wrote that, while Shirou and Archer CAN, and I can't stress that enough. They have difficulties in Tracing Mecha-shift weapons. I mean... Who the fuck makes a Purse, into a Minigun? It's literally breaking Physics. Literally on par with Transformers with how they fold in pieces. But that's already explained in their Comics, so yeah.

Not only that, but the fact that each Mecha-shift Weapons has thousands upon thousands of moving parts, except for a select few. Tracing every minor detail and parts takes way too long and Prana expensive, knowing how below average Shirou and Archer's Magic Circuits are.

Plus, both of them didn't have a proper concept of a Mecha-shift Weapon to practice on, back in the Nasuverse. So one wrong Tracing and the Mecha-shift Weapon won't transform at all, or literally break on use.

Jaune meanwhile, has been exposed to Mecha-shift Weapons basically at birth. As two of his Elder Sisters are already Huntswomen, and his Father is one as well. So he already has the Basic concept of Mecha-shift Weapon knowledge stored in his brain. Plus, he has Ruby to teach him how different parts of Mecha-shift Weapons would fit in and work in tandem with other parts.

Sure, Shirou and Archer can Trace Crocrea Mors. But the only thing that transforms is the shield... Which just folds in itself, to turn into a Sheath. The concept is basic. But, when it comes to something like, Crescent Rose, Ember Celica, Gambol Shroud, and every other bullshit of a RWBY-verse weapon. It takes way too long to Trace them, and sure. Grimm are just animals, but Rogue Huntsmen? Mercenaries? Assassins?

They will attack in the middle of Tracing a weapon. Hence why both Shirou and Archer, loves to spam Mundane Swords, and spam Kanshou and Bakuya... THEY'RE THE MOST SIMPLE TO TRACE AND PRANA CONSERVATIVE! I mean, in every other Fanfics you read, they take their time to Trace a Noble Phantasm. So imagine a Sword that turns into a Shotgun, and a Scythe.

Yep, more complicated parts! Trace that in the middle of a Horde. I'm sure you can imagine the time it takes to Trace one. That one Jaune moment where he fought with Crescent Rose and Miló and Akūo? Was just those one Anime Moment where the MC gets a power boost or something. Similar to how Shirou Traced Kanshou and Bakuya for the first time.

So, that's enough ranting. Hope this clears up all of your confusions. And if you're still dead set on your own beliefs, then why read this in the first place? So please, if you don't like this, then don't read it. There are tons of other Fanfics, where they make Shirou or Archer completely overpowered, so yeah. That's all.
