The tactic worked. Huns could pick infantry formations to pieces, and were too mobile to be countered. All infantry could do is hold their shield up and hope the formation didn't break or he didn't get shot. By deploying lancers and archers against the Huns, the Hunnic forces could be countered and held off. Aetius also likely deployed his Huns against the Hunnic center.
