| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | War God (20.1%) | Revitalize (11.8%) | contested |
| Insignia | Revitalize Insignia (20.4%) | Unholy Pact Insignia (10.1%) | contested |
| Square Insignia | Blood Barrier Insignia (11.8%) | Winged Rebirth Insignia (9.8%) | no consensus |

| Trait | ATK (31.7%) | Accuracy (24.5%) | clear favourite |
| Pet | Fowl Play (8.8%) | Drako's Breath (6.6%) | no consensus |
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.
