Ofc Cthullu's buffs will also land.

However as you can see Ryu-Oh is the better choice.

Furthermore new player will have, starting with the next advent, the opportunity to get old raid Himes.
Getting Gabriel or Atlanta. You can reach with both def cap if you have Cthullu + Gabriel or Ryu-Oh+Atlanta.

However I would go with Ryu-Oh instead because, like I said before, she is the better choice with Wolf-Maanaf.
Cthulhu + Wolf Maanaf isn't that bad but if you have both then Ryu-Oh please. Attack down + BP will save your ass more than Cthulhu later.
I think you're missing a few things here.

This needs stressing IMO: Cthulhu's C frame is AoE. Hits everything. Already helps out a ton in AQ4 trash stages, but with more strong multi-mob stages in the future (GO, tower, AQ5), I'd like to think her value increases along with the updates.

Atalanta is good. For C frame. But that's all she's good for. Again my opinion, but she's a worse C frame slave than Cthulhu is. Lower burst multiplier, and literally only one debuff to show off.

Ryu-Oh's BP is very risky IMO. And not just because of the miss rate. Recharge takes 10 turns, and for a 180 second debuff, that's really not a lot of time when you face bosses that are strong enough to force you to refresh the debuff. If the server lags, you WILL suffer for it. And Nutaku server lags a fuck ton. Even worse on raids.
