If you're refering to Sword Fiona vs Sword Lann, it doesn't.

In terms of actual gameplay, Sword Lann is just faster and Gliding Fury has wonderful precentiles. His damage will only suffer once he spends more time dodging then attacking (and even then, it'll still be better then a Sword Fiona). In regards to survivability, Fiona just wins as she carries a shield instead of a second sword.

In terms of literal thinking and per hit, Lann's style of fighting revolves around speed more (thus his Agility stat is used for some damage calculations). Due to this, his equipment weight would probably be lower in order to allow him to keep moving at such speeds (not like you ever see Fiona skating along the ground). That and most people's non dominant hand aren't as strong in the first place. Fiona's style of fighting barely uses her sword first of all (her best moves either use her shield or foot to attack), and it focuses more on strong single hits.

On a random side note, I swear Fiona and Lann share the same running animation.

More sword =/= more power.
It all depend on how you use it.

Just like in mabi.

You have a higher damage range with 1 sword. But Lann has 2 swords delivers more DPS, and out damages fiona.

Though in this particular case its kind of hard to explain, since both classes hold something in both hands. Lowering their power when thrusting a sword.

They used to thrust before "Rose Thorn" and the Lann equivalent were implemented.
