Friday immediately raised its left arm, locked onto the target, and fired a Repulsor Particle Beam. However, Supiluliumas blocked the attack with his thick shoulder armor and closed in quickly. His lightning-wreathed halberd swept upward, striking the mechanical joint between the Hulkbuster Armor's right arm and torso with precision. The Asgardian Disintegration Field on the halberd's blade sliced through the high-strength metal driveshaft at an atomic level like a hot knife through butter. The heavy high-explosive armor-piercing rounds that followed shattered the wires and other electronic components, interrupting Friday's attempt to punch with its right arm.
Thanks to a completely different power system from that of Gene-modded Warriors, the heavy Power Armor did not hinder Supiluliumas's agility in the slightest. As he pulled the trigger and fired Large Caliber Explosive Rounds at close range to destroy the mechanical transmission structure, he shifted his grip and moved around to Tony Stark's left side. He slipped beneath Friday's left arm as it tried to swing a punch, evading the heavy blow that tore through the air.
The Monarch had told the Praetorian Guard about Tony Stark. He stated bluntly that although those Power Armors were quite ingenious in design and appeared versatile, they could not truly excel in any one aspect. Though they used an operating system combining force feedback and Artificial Intelligence, they were constrained by an ordinary human's neural reaction speed, muscle contraction and extension speed, and joint angles. Tony Stark's armor was utterly incapable of adapting to high-speed combat. To gain ranged firepower, it used palm-mounted Repulsor Particle Beams and micro-missiles, but this inevitably limited its destructive power due to weapon miniaturization. To accommodate thrusters, it had to compress the space within the Power Armor by every possible means to install other necessary equipment. And no matter how powerful
