Personaly i still think that to have BP on hime and save free ex slot for Shingen's MP skill or Herc (PF) is a very good idea for solo content, but if you are making a team for example for rag raids, where someone else will buff BP for you, then sure, Ctulhu aw>>Ruy-Oh or you even may remove them both and add a damage hime. And if you want to go to for example fire ultimate raid solo (or at least hit 51+% and then make invitation to guarantee MVP), not use BP is a bad idea because boss have only 1 orb. Anyway,+20 bg is not too much to be "not debuff slave anymore". Actualy, before aw, Ctulhu was always worse then Ruy-Oh, now she is sometimes better, sometimes not, but this +20% bg on 1-st skill and insignificant -1t cd on 3-rd is almost all that she had from the aw. Comparing to Sol/Gaja/Michael/Titania/Swarog etc it's nothing in terms of power boost. But if you want to have Vohu, Shiva and no Asherath, then Ctulhu can partialy replace her together with Shiva's buff (you will lose burst damage up and crit) and still have -50 def and -45 fire attack/-15 other element attack. Yes, -15 attack -20 def, while Ruy-Oh have -20/-20 so you have both debuffs capped vs fire with Vohu - it's almost 10% less damage from fire source. If you will use Lakshmi instead of Shiva, i don't like the idea not to use Asherath.
P.S. Personaly i don't have Ctulhu on DMM, only Ruy-Oh, Vohu, Lakshmi, Asherath, Saraswati, Ea so it's only my thoughts about her. About 7-8 month old account... 0$ spent... How i wish to be so lucky on Nutaku version... i have just a mediocre tier Posseydon here.

You're throwing debuff values like Cthulhu doesn't have anything else up her arsenal. Lemme bring up the actual comparisons:

Ryu-Oh has 20% def break, 20% atk break, and a BP.

Cthulhu AW has a blob eat for 20 BG (that happens to not be stormtrooper accuracy anymore), a 20% AoE def break, and a 15% atk break. Alright, that's where your comparison ends.

But. But. But. BUT she has an insanity debuff that when sticks, not only has the charm property, but also has a chance to completely drain the boss's orb bar. And Cthulhu gets high DATA rate on any enemy afflicted with insanity. And her burst effect gives herself increased afflict rate making her debuff stick rate higher.

Remind me again, how does having a single BP compare to all that? You're not going to seriously tell me Ryu-Oh is still the better debuff slave are you?
