The things is, if you can't exploit it, then it isn't weakness.

And as I noted, the capture of Lescatie is one fine showcase of strategy.


 * Before it broke into full-scale battle, Lescatie already loss three out of their four aces (Wilmarina, Mimiru, and Primera). Pretty much only Merse left.
 * Once the full scale battle start...
 * The castle is loss to Francisca (she isn't heroine, so this is clearly a strategic move, although Deruella might take pity of her as well). Now we don't know about Lescatie's chain of command or their strategic center, so this may or may not completely ruin the organization of their army. But at very least, lossing the castle, their symbol of royal power, surely cause big effect on soldiers' morale.
 * Sadly the Fallen Maidens profiles don't said much on how each of them contribute to the battle. But if we accept Fallen Brides stories, then at least Wilmarina was causing havoc from inside the town, inside the army facility even, when the battle start. This mean the army was in chaotic state when the battle start, and would hardly has much chance to establish strategy to fight back.
 * The slums is quickly overtaken by Sasha's kids. Sadly we have no clear map to see how much strategic value on taking it. It may make huge breach in Lescatie's defense, or just provide Deruella's force with nearby area that can be used as base of operation.

I will say again, it's one fine strategy. Not exactly brilliant one, but it get the job done.
