No offense to characters whose whole power resolves around a single ability, for example, naruto was capable of perfecting the rasengan and using sage mode long term using something as simple as a shadow clone technique. He was also capable of creating his own lotus (uzumaki barrage) because of his perfect use of shadow clones. This is shown being used very well because it shows a character taking a simple abilities and using it in numerous different ways you wouldn't initially think of however, as the descendant of Lucifer and a dragon-humanoid made from Great Red's flesh you would think they would branch out a bit and not rely so heavily on their sacred gears. And aside from new armor forms and gags technique they never really come up with anything that deviates from their sacred gears.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it or my expectations are too high...Vali and Issei are more fist fighters not strategists (aside from Issei's moments of genius). Maybe watching the vampire diaries is making me overthink things here...
