Note: Usage is the share of the global top players whose latest Rank Battle deck (one per player) includes the card. "Before" is from the count of September 30, 2026 (981 players) and "now" from the latest count (970 players), so they are not the same group of players.
Note: For changes to the Evolution or Hero only, usage is not shown because it is counted together with the normal card.
