The thing is, we haven't seen Sayla take a single blow till Elfman hit her from behind, so what anon above is saying is quite plausible, their defenses simply suck. Franmalth got beaten by a rock, after all. To be clear, I'm not trying to defend the fact that they go down so easily, but it's not all that inconsistent either.

(Also, "we"? I wasn't referring to you or anyone else here, rather, a simple observation from another forums and/or discussions)
