~ど at the end of a sentence?

Question

フェイズスキルにはいたらねど

And the next sentence

それゆえに「螺旋撃」は武の極致

I don't know how to break up the hiragana in the first sentence.

Answer 1

フェイズスキルにはいたらねど here means フェイズスキルには至らないが ("although it does not reach (the level of) phase skill", "although it's not as good as phase skills").

ねど is a combination of ね and ど, both of which are words from archaic Japanese.

• ね: 已然形 form of ず, which is equivalent to ～ない (="not") in modern Japanese.
• ど: ≒ ～が/～けれども in modern Japanese. (eg 金あれど = 金はあるが)

Perhaps the best-known phrase that uses this ねど would be 武士は食わねど高楊枝.
