There is quite a few mix and match of existing leader skills and active skills for this collaboration. All the gold cards, except the MP card Saburo Hanazawa, have a type killer awakening so their total multiplier is actually quite high against the relevant types. Here are some of the notable cards for me:

6* Harumichi Bouya
Eschamali-ish active skill for red orbs but converts one less orb. Awoken DLucifer-ish leader skill but for red attackers. His only weakness IMO is his one-sided awakenings as he is only powerful against devils with that type killer awakening.

6* Lindaman
Yomi Dragon's active skill but for red orbs. The leader skill is quite powerful but he's lacking skill bind resist for a leader IMO.

4* Yasu
I'm just pointing him out for his 2 dark resist awakenings. These type of cards can be useful against those huge DQ Hera pre-empt damage but for now I don't think there is a team for him.

MP card Saburo Hanazawa
He's going for 100K MP and I'm mostly reading about people planning to use him as a sub on Tsubaki.


With the game seemingly moving towards mechs and also the MP God dragons, there aren't any subs for them. The 2 best cards are easily the 6* gold eggs but I think they are useful but slightly lacking in their awakenings.
