I mean...what did they expect? Equipment prep aside, MC didn't technically do anything for that battle, so why wouldn't the mage they tried to scout decimate the monster?

Archers should have high STR to be able to draw those bows. I mean, Diablo 2 bows have strength requirements (which reflects irl bows)
@Kuroageha
Anyone who speaks English, and knows that duel explicitly means a fight between two people? It's derived from the latin "duo", meaning two, and "bellum" meaning war.
