Even though Lapis's water wings aren't technically a weapon, flight is a very valuable battle tool, as it allows Lapis to get away from close-combat fighting, and gives her an aerial view that she would use to strategize. The disadvantage to the wings is that they have no offensive power, but that's perfect for Lapis. She isn't a fighter at all, and really prefers to stay out of the action. She's also a bit of a runner, which wings aid her with perfectly. Lapis tends to stay away from situations she doesn't feel comfortable in, so having the power of flight is increasingly useful. Lucky for her, if she does have to fight, it's likely that she's got some awesome hydrokenesis up her sleeve!
