** Matthias has learned magical means of protecting himself from physical harm. Sure, you could ''technically'' knock him out in one punch, but only after breaking through a shielding spell designed to withstand siege engines.

Added DiffLines:

** Physically speaking, Matthias is a total damage sponge with average to slightly above average combat skills, making him a StoneWall, factor in his magic and he's a MightyGlacier. Evulz, being WrongGenreSavvy, pays dearly for this as his army is slaughtered for focusing exclusively on him.


Added DiffLines:

** Matthias's weakness is speed, so Evulz's FragileSpeedster mooks slowly chop away at Matthias, wearing him down, and forcing his teammates to rush in to prevent him from being taken out.

** Despite being a square-jawed [[StoutStrength mountain of a man]], Matthias almost never uses his strength in combat, preferring to use magic: he works out because he likes being muscular. That's not to say he ''can't'' throw a punch if cornered, though.
