Among top players, the most settled part of the build is trait (ATK, 29.6%) and the least settled is pet (Devil's Fire, only 6.9%), so the pet slot is where you have the most freedom to adapt.

Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.
