Nako has had sword training for an hour a day since he was about 15, so 22 years on, I would say he's quite well versed in its use. (he increased that amount when he had his aether restricted.
He tends more to the wear them down method of fighting. Use the shield and sword to deflect and create an opening, take a couple of hits on the armour and strike at them. He is a bit too wary. He does however line his sword with a form of pitch, so that he can set it on fire. Cause firesword.
His aether is reasonably restricted when he's in armour, due to not having a focus, so it tends to be relegated to short distance or touch magic, such as setting his sword on fire, or using the burning pitch that sticks to his opponent to litterally burn through their defences or turn them into a walking conflagration.
Outside of armour it tends to be a little more free roam. Given his status as an aetheric scholar, I tend not to use specific ability names, and have made up several little spells that work well in the grey area of the lore (Astral Projection for one, Void chains for the another, summoning a gribbly cthonic monster for a third.) but typically it's stuff like using air to push people back or immobilise them off the ground, using earth to form rock spikes piercing their feet, that kinda stuff. Or making a pulse of pure aether flow through someone in such a way that it liquidises their insides.
he has a small ammount of unarmed training, but it's your typical army/police self defence. Closer to Krav Maga than Wushu.
