Well, my reasoning on preference here was that both Red and Blue both have cards that are pretty low in worth outside of being used a sub (Garnet and Walrus, respectively). Heltares is a beast and is fantastic in PvP, because blindness is one of the hardest things to get around, on top of his heavy hitting.
Galvin, in my experience, has seemed to be pretty overwhelmingly average. Not terrible, not fantastic, just solid damage and a minor buff.
Meanwhile all three cards in Green are pretty great. Ranmaru is pretty useful and has served me well, but does kind of feel obsolete at the point of the game I'm at. Galahad seems to be solid, powerful damage as well as a pretty awesome sub. Ns-L'yi is a terror in PvP, being basically a fixed 3-hit Ranmaru with healing capabilities built in. She's a beast and definitely the one to pull for there, in my opinion.
For Red, Garnet's main use is as a sub, where she's incredible, but unless you already have a solid deck of gods set up, that should be a lower priority. Not to mention that Garnet has shown up in free SS pools (one of which is coming soon!), so you may be able to score her for free anyway. Nikita's pretty great and I think she's the one to go for if you really want to roll red. Also, playing Garnet as a main card is a constant source of frustration, because she fuses with Peridot (which will make people very mad please don't do that).
Leonidas seems very situational at best. According to #dorapo, he's got a base damage of 1.2x, with an additional .1x for each extra red card in the hand. Thus, a maximum of 3 1.6x hits, which would be pretty nice, but when you consider the only odds of that happening are in situations where it's forced into a flush (which is one of the weakest hands in the game by a long shot), or in situations of House Flushes, Straight Flushes, and Royal Straight Flushes, all of which rarely ever happen.
So yeah. Pull blue if you want Heltares or to a lesser extent Galvin, but you really can't go wrong with Green.
EDIT: I WILL say, however, as a caveat for pursuing Ns-L'yi: While there are only four cards in the Eldritch fusion pool and two of them are EXTREMELY rare (Cthulhu and Tsathoggua, who can only be pulled off-gacha), both Ns-L'yi and Sfatlicllp are very, VERY common right now and you will inevitably be sucked into super fusions with other folks' cards. The Eldritch super fusion is pretty fucking awful compared to the monstrous payload of the cards themselves, so do keep that in mind. (It's one-hit AOE damage with stat drops, which will utterly wreck your damage output.)
EDIT 2: I should also add that Enhance cards have been nerfed to the point of being ruined. Like, really really bad.
Powerups @ SL7: From 2.0x to 1.35x
AOE @ SL7: From 1.2x to 0.6x
Multiply @ SL7: 0.8x to 0.6x
Guess I'll be shooting for Peridot next time she's around, because she's the one who got wrecked least. There seems to be little point in running Mercurius or Ifrina anymore, too.
AOE supremacy is over. :persona:
