I didn't mean to say she should start out with the Nakagami armour. But there is a difference between not using your full power and actually locking it away so that it needs extra activation.

And while you don't start out with your stongest attacks, neither is it very sensible to let you get so badly hurt as Erza was. Those wounds almost cost her the tournament and soon will come close to costing her her very life!
