What I meant is Gordes situation, I express it wrong.

In LN, its a stupid move wasting two CS for Balmung as no such mistake happened before.

With Siegfried felt that Balmung won't get through Achilles, there should be consideration for CS and Siegfried identity whatever the reason.

In anime its much more tolerable with they noted Gordes main reason of allowing NP usage is Siegfried fight against Karna. Darnic didn't know about that and believe Siegfried identity is still safe; you can accept Gordes act as he may thought Siegfried name is not a risk anymore after Siegfried vs. Karna have Siegfried reveal his name.

AFAIK, it doesn't count because Armor of Fafnir will nullify the damage as the object hit Armor of Fafnir first before reaching his back. You need to hit Siegfried back to truly injure him.
