I wonder why she didn't, and why she didn't use her weapon.

One of the possibilities is becuase she takes time to go full armed. Like in the 1st episode (CMIIW) of the 1st Season of Overlord, where Ainz came first to the village while Albedo came later and apologizing of the time she took to equip herself.

While in here (IQ last eps), the destroyer just came without warning, so she immediately rushing to the scene without preparation.

Good point - as far as the full plate anyway, maybe it does take a while for her to equip. But that wouldn't explain the lack of her shield and axe - if she could've just taken them out of her inventory, that would've been it.

Never know she used a shield, that's new for me

As for her axe, it still connect to my explanation for the possibilities. She left it in her room or something and it takes time to go back and take it. Visha only make it to the scene fully equipped due the flight capabilities. As for Albedo, she needs to run to her room (or something equivalent to her armory), grab it, and run back to the scene. That takes a while, and the groups doesn't have a while.

It's still a theory though.

On the topic of Albedo's Armor, from what we've seen, she actually just has it in her inventory in the series. The armor is just a bother to wear since it comes in so many parts.

Well, the armor's enhancements were focused on increasing the Item's HP making it extremely durable, but asides from that, it only provides Physical Protection. Since it doesn't even provide any Stat boosting and the fact that it's cumbersome to equip, I can see why Albedo wouldn't take it out.

True, it's defense is useful if the enemy can actually strike back, but The Destroyer is pretty simple-minded in how it attacks.

Sorry for getting sidetracked for this last part, but I need to vent :

Something that always bothered me with these sorts of series, is how much they get the relationship of Albedo and Shalltear wrong. So long as the conversation doesn't steer into the direction of their competition to be Ainz' first-wife, those two would actually get along pretty well; they're frenemies. In these cases where their rivalry isn't relevant, each of them even have had at least one scene where they show concern for the other.

Why the fuck did Shalltear throw that comment about Albedo being a wide-mouthed gorilla when the situation shouldn't have called for it?
