Artoria is lacking in fighting skills. Merlin trained her how to be a king, not how to be a pure warrior.

For her to be going head to head with Kojiro, the masters have nothing to do with it unless Artoria is using a lot of mana in that fight. The same case with Sigurd. She might win if it's a straightforward showdown of NPs, but Fate being Fate, it's unlikely to go that smooth; hence physical prowess (which Artoria is lacking compared to Sigurd) is important. You can fire excalibur as many times as you want, but it won't do anything if you're struck down before you can fire it (as is seen from her fight with Kuzuki). Same thing goes with Artoria's mana bursts and invisible air. They'd be lethal only if they hit.
