Not only is it not accurate, it's also not very interesting. It means that the warriors only use duelling weapons, rarely halberds, spears, etc. because those aren't as good as swords in duels.
Would be funny to see one side only readying themselves for the second type of battle, while the other is in Phallanx.
Normally the second case would only happen when most people are dead and all formations are broken and the only few remaining are fighting until the last one standing, which, why would someone do?
But this way, the second case would never occur as the duel-searchers won't have the tools to break the Phallanx
