Hmmm, you gave the point to Hookuai in terms of pure damage output, but I think Ugluk deserves it more. Hookuai has 2 40 dmg AoE moves with 1 torture effect each. Ugluk has a 45 dmg AoE move with 1 torture, a 35 dmg AoE with 2 tortures, and an AoE 30% life drain move, which can be better or worse than 40 dmg depending on who you're fighting. Additionally, you mentioned Hookuai's Power of the Deep. If you're talking about pure damage output, Ugluk wins due to his setup skill providing double damage instead of damage boost. Both Ugluk and Hookuai have a 70 dmg 0s 0cd move. You said that Hookuai's is superior due to having an elemental advantage, but this also means having an elemental disadvantage, especially against Eisul, a very popular tank in the meta. And if elemental advantages are being considered, keep in mind both of Hookuai's AoE attacks have no elemental advantage, while Ugluk has an AoE Earth attack as well as a Metal attack that does residule dmg. And finally, Ugluk has a 65 dmg attack that does triple dmg to taunt monsters, that also gives him an extra turn, allowing him to finish off whoever he is fighting with another one of his devastating moves. Hookuai has nothing like this. With all this said, I think Ugluk should get the point  instead of Hookaui for pure damage output.
