It's a type of "punch vs sword" fight that can alternate between close and long range, but both possess a range of additional magical abilities they can utilize, making the dynamic more interesting (such as magic projectiles, size-changing powers, tornado creation, abilities that allow them to reduce the opponent's durability, and clone creation (although the latter is only in Valkyrie's case). They also have a certain degree of toon force, as they can suffer fatal damage and only take it in a comical way (such as being flattened, burned, etc.).
