Trait and stats : urtikus is a tiny bit better (stats are not that different, 3619 vs 3652, 3454 vs 3465, 38k vs 39k). Moves : hookuai is a lot better, you need double PER for his power of deep, you only need PER for double damage + evasion. Double PER is much rarer there are only a few monsters who possess this skill, almost every Monster have single PER now. Now let’s look at what they can do besides attacking, hook can CDA and urtikus can only stun and shock. CDA is much more reliable as it bypasses artifact and Control immune monsters and only monsters with 0CD counters it (there is some but stun immunity is much more common given the amount of control immune and artifacts nowadays) and also hook’s 0CD 0s skills do 70 dmg, which is 16.7% more powerful than 60 damage, making up for his lacking (0.9% lacking) power stat. Now let’s look at relics, it baffles me that you can call Essence + sword “just a bit better” than 2 swords, Essence can save you from death. And your ragnarok argument is just a bruh moment because ragnarok can kill your urtikus just like a revived hookuai and also hookuai have a sword so he can hold the Cain sword and heal. Relics hook wins by a Long shot. So no, hook is still better and a tier above
