Shields are dangerous, man.

I'm gonna assume that after Pyrrha was disarmed, she goes full-on melee. If she's supposedly the best, then she should at least be able to fight without her sword, I mean, one of it's basic functions is to become a friggin' javelin. So 30% of the time, she won't be holding it since Milo's busy being in someone's face or on the ground if she misses.
