Most acolytes that survive their first battles rapidly seek promotion to a more protected role away from the front ranks. However, some acolytes are chosen to remain even once they are promoted to be NuraKira. These experienced acolytes are considered to be slightly more valuable, and are often blessed with bodyguards.

The NuraKiras aren’t great military minds - they’ve just been pushed into that role. As the war has progressed, some have demonstrated their capabilities, however as the Delgon army structure’s is very static it is a slow process.
