Hahah I didn't even think of that.
God that would be the best Arena battle ever.

To me, equipment and people are distinctly different. That's a personal opinion; if you can find someone that is willing to fight you, while you're using multiple people that can't be destroyed, then more power to you; personally, I wouldn't take that particular fight because it is fairly easy to exploit. Just have one decoy and another attack from behind.
There wasn't any leeway given for Character A to cheat, however, I was simply explaining the common rules we use here - NPCs can be auto-hit, and killed; whether or not they cause any particular damage is something that'll come up, maybe they will, maybe they won't.
If the mercs of character B are weaker, then they will likely be killed much faster, perhaps in one hit. But, with the rules of the ranking system being as they are, and I've told Barti this as well in a different debate, you can literally create any type of character, with any set of rules you want; it's just a matter of getting someone to agree to it.
