I did, in fact, do the math to determine which characters the TWST writers like the most based on the cards they have available and how special those cards are. I assigned them 1 point for each R card, 2 for each SR card, and 3 per SSR card. I play the English server so this is based on what cards have been released there. Here is a list of all the main characters, in order of the writers' favorite to least favorite, based on total score so far:
Vil - 51 points
Jamil - 49 points
Floyd - 48 points
Azul - 47 points
Deuce, Idia, Jade, Ruggie, and Trey - 46 points
Malleus - 45 points
Kalim - 44 points
Cater, Leona, and Sebek - 43 points
Jack, Lilia, Ortho, and Rook - 42 points
Epel, Riddle, and Silver - 41 points
Ace - 40 points
(I decided to pin this post and keep tracking the scores over time. Just because it's important for everyone to know who needs more love and also because I like color-coded spreadsheets. Scores are current as of Deuce's 2026 birthday.)
