There was no reason to assume Kyoka was a fighter in the first place.
She already has extremely useful magic powers (or curses if it really matters) in that she was able to revive the other members after death, is able to forcibly turn people into demons, and modify peoples sensation to pain (and possibly other feelings).
In fact, that last one is why I don't care too much. Ok, yeah, she was making erza scream in pain when she was hitting her with a whip.
But so what? Kyoukas magic means that even superficial damage would cause her to react like that, and getting whipped a bit for the person who routinely takes the most punishment (For instance, way back in the shadow lord arc, Tanking an entire hit from Jupiter herself that would have destroyed the entire town, then fighting the 3rd strongest member of a guild and then the master, or the grimore heart arc where she fought Meredy, Asuma (including taking 2x his terra chrymals and being the only person to win a fight without the magic boost provided by the tenrou tree), or beating all 100 of those monsters in the GMG when the strongest alone was supposed to defeat a wizard saint) in the series is seriously selling her short.
