Side note, it's probably not a good idea to put game mechanics in ability descriptions. Especially with incompatible series like Smash and Soul Calibur. It makes it difficult to actually compare strengths and weaknesses, and inhibits voting.

So...

Offensive Weapon: Autoreticle wins. Ignoring the game mechanics, this is a pretty simple case of a ranged weapon having more options than a melee one. Sophitia has to get up close to use her Omega Sword, but Paletuna can strike Sophitia from nearly anywhere.

Defensive Weapon: Mirror Shield/Reflect Barrier wins. Omnidirectional shielding > monodirectional shielding. Nothing more to say. And an "attack over 50%" may break it, whatever the hell that actually translates to, but from the description it seems self-repairing. Further, if it reflects projectiles, it could even redirect Sophitia's Critical Edge back at her, either sword or lightning bolt. Sophitia can get a few decent blocks in with the Elk Shield, but it's nothing compared to Paletuna's defensive options.

Finisher: Black Hole Laser wins. Much like Autoreticle v Omega Sword, this is a problem of range. Sophitia has to be in melee range to initiate Divine Palladium, but Paletuna's finisher is ranged. She can set it off from anywhere and still (potentially) hit Sophitia. There's also the problem mentioned above; Paletuna can potentially block or even reflect Divine Palladium back at Sophitia, if she reacts fast enough; with a 20-point lead in the Speed X-Factor, I think that's more than likely. Sophitia doesn't have any corresponding defense; the Elk Shield is basically rendered useless here due to the high volume of damage incoming.

Overall: This is a fairly easy victory for Paletuna, especially since this is to a KO rather than a kill. Sophitia has to get in melee range for every attack of hers; Paletuna can keep pressure on her with ranged attacks, wearing Sophitia out for a simple KO by exhaustion, or just to create an opening for her Final Smash. ON top of this, the X-factors show Paletuna to be superior in every way to Sophitia. Hell, this is borderline unfair with how much of an advantage Paletuna has. But that's why mortals usually come of the worse when they attack gods, and this case is no different.
