@Rai while Erza's battles may be better for some, saying that they are more interesting than Lucy's because she "doesn't need help" doesn't make much sense. It's Lucy's magic to summon stuff, so technically she does win her fights by herself, using her own magic. Also, since most of her spirits are lame she actually has to use her wits to end her fights while Erza's recent fights consist of one-shotting opponents in her lame fire pants :/ You can like Erza all you want, but I've seen the argument that Lucy is lame because she doesn't kick ass by herself numerous times, and it's just silly.
