Although it may be rare for battles to be determined by pure luck, battles being determined by a certain amount of luck happen fairly frequently. Barbatos knew this as well. Luck is naturally a factor of victory.
Nonetheless, Barbatos has always been a warrior by nature. She longed for battles that risked everything and lacked luck.
