Ok so I have noticed something that im pretty sure everyone else also knows but im gonna explain anyways . Cardinals are seperated into 4 colors , red , blue , yellow and green . Each color respresenting something
Red - Represents offensive / active gameplay as it is mostly used for attacking towers or upgrades that encourage you to run around and stuff ( fei's factory upgrade that lets her choose any weapon to make )
Blue - Represents defensive / passive gameplay as it is mostly used for blockades / defensive towers or upgrades that let you forget about them and do something else ( boutmans bucket and the entire janitor bucket branch )
Yellow - Represents economy / MONEY MONEY MONEY gameplay is it is mostly used for economy buildings or upgrades that encourages a more GET THAT DOUGH kind of playstyle
Green - Represents Jack-of-all-trades / special gameplay as the cardinals that are in the green section either provide some benefit that doesnt fit into the other 3 , or gives an all around buff ( green coin , slippers )
And something else that i also noticed is that each vessel also embodies one of the 4 very well .
Smacky - Embodies Green well due to being the starter character and having a very well rounded kit
Sno Sno - Embodies Blue for obvious reasons
-# Those who sno
Boutman - Embodies Red well because his kit revolves around buffing himself and his
fish and going on the offensive to absolutely MURDER the enemies.
Buster - Embodies Red as well because his kit also revolves around attacking enemies using himself / other dogs as projectiles
-# Gonna be honest i completely forgot he existed
Fei - Embodies Yellow well because her kit is based on arming her knights using her econ tower , whos weapons depend on what ore you are mining
