When a character only seems weak because they constantly end up fighting someone stronger or someone they're weak against, otherwise they're pretty competent in their own rights.
Like Alice is a knight and a skilled swordsman, who can defeats a band of common thugs or one or two elite warriors alone, but she constantly have finds herself fighting legendary fighters that can destory an entire army or monsters that require an entire team of professional hunters to take down.
