Let me just explain why your rank up question is going to be hard to answer for almost anyone. Who you should rank depends on:1. Where you are in game (what you have left to do, or how new you are)2. Who else you have ranked (don’t rank two nearly identical champs early on, you need diversity)3. Key immunities that might be missing from your roster (bleed, poison, incinerate, cold-snap etc) 4. Overall champion power. (The power of the champ you are considering ranking.) Although this seems to be the most important. It’s a bit counterintuitive. Because a weaker champ that can actually comply with the nodes of the fight is more valuable than a powerful champ that CANT comply with a fights nodes. I hope this helps you decide. From the champs you gave, Galan hulkling venom and sunspot are good to go unawakened. You can’t go wrong ranking any of them. Kitty needs the awakening to be her true self.
Kitty or Galan.
If you are considering Battlegrounds, Galan and Hulkling are top tier cosmics, and sunspot is a little better than kitty (sunspot has power gain which is good for speed even though kitty has more consistent high damage). Venom is a decent champion but there are so many banger champs in cosmic that he is outshined presently.
