A woman who is comfortable in that sexy outfit is considered a STRONG FEMALE warrior because she knows she can take on adversaries without taking damage.

No, the only thing a sexy outfit represents is "this character is too stupid to wear armor/something practical".
Especially a naked female body isn't going to add intimidation factor in the same way a naked, painted viking or Celt warrior would be.
Don't use dumb logic to try and justify a dumb design.
Attila the Hun is a beautiful strong black woman who don't need no armor.
It's one thing to say "this is anime, this character is solely created for the purposes of aesthetics above believability and practicailty".
It's another thing to try and treat a battle bikini as being the most ingenious of designs. I repeat, a sexy outfit in a warzone represents NOTHING but the designers' preferences.
What you're trying to say sounds like "a dog is the strongest animal on earth because it's the world's most popular pet", or "rice is the secret to immortality because billions of people have been eating it for thousands of years". It's stupid logic that attempts to justify some baseless, stupid claim.
Also Attila isn't black. So I see you're not even trying to put any credibility into your words.

Never forget that seduction is also one of the most powerful and oldest form of distractions. Wearing sexy outfits to tempt the horny idiots and have them underestimate her is also a tactic.
Fear and intimidation isn't the only way to win a battle.
Though there is some historical precedent if you want to stretch. Why some warriors, ala Lancer, would fight naked was a sort of taunt by saying the enemy was so weak that they did not require armor, or something like that.
No armor is better than being armored only at the extremities. The latter only serves to impair mobility while still leaving the center of your body (AKA the organ bag) as a fat, juicy inviting target.
(I'm looking at you, Yoshitsune and Boudica. Also a lot of Stage 3/4 female servants, really, like our dear little Mordy.)

I'd like a better dressed Attila, personally.
Hear, hear! And better-dressed everyone, while we're at it.
