Fauna seems like the reliable dark horse though, she's strong in everything.

Council does alright when they're solo streaming or paired off but they're godawful in group collabs and that's where my dislike of Bae comes from, because more often than not she's the one trying to stir the pot and make it more chaotic. Which is fine as a gimmick but when every group stream becomes such pure chaotic idiocy it gets annoying and overshadows whatever they're trying to do. Bae singlehandedly fucked up the Rust streams, there weren't any significant issues until she started goading chat into helping her fuck with iRyS, which led to a tit for tat thing that turned most of them off of Rust entirely because they got tired of wrangling chat. Kronii is a strong streamer by herself but gets kinda silly during group streams, I feel like she fares better than the others though. Fauna imo remains the golden child of Council, she's very strong both in group and solo streams
Council is the generation i started watching all of from the beginning, so of Council, if it's non platform (of which Sana is still the queen of), non mindbreak games, Fauna is definitely the best at, however that's still just the gaming aspect. In Collabs she's basically the high level NPC. Both Fauna and Mumei are basically invisible besides their cute and do cute things gimmick. Sometimes I even forget that Mumei is even there.
Kroni is very awkward in collab settings (but at least she's branching out and trying to improve). So i can respect this.
I will have to disagree about Bae. She is the least chaotic of Council. Her singlemindness of trying to troll iRyS feels like what the youngest sibling trying to get your attention. Doesn't help that if it's not a mobile game she's kind of bad at it.
iRyS is probably the one that does the worst in collab settings. She doesn't really have the collab goals in mind at all, and she tends to make everything about her. This stream (unsure if the girls saw it this way) was to give Council and Sana's fans the closure on the final thing Sana left behind in Hololive, so we can move on, but nope, iRyS has to pick fights and make a scene. I am still a fan of hers, but she's just so bad in group settings, and doesn't give off any indicator that she's even trying to improve on this weakest aspect.
Sometimes the dead air in Council collabs are deafening.
I know you guys love shitting on Kiara, but honestly from my eyes, she's the one that held Myth together during collabs. During Kiara or Sana collabs, there's basically no dead air. Everyone else tends to follow up with conversations, these two can lead with conversation.
Edit: I think Fauna described it best. Sana was insanely witty, and had a comeback for anything. With her gone Council just feels dry. Add in iRyS (and with Kroni, to a lesser extent), and it's like it's become a raisin.
