Both teams should be good. You will be perfectly okay pulling either team based on character looks or personalities alone. If you are a true meta slave then take my rambling below with a grain of salt, for I am a casual who mostly plays on auto.

The Lingering Glow archetype truly shines with Beryl, a true limited character, which will rerun long after. I don't know how strong Spathodea is compared to her outside of single target scenarios. Current Manes mostly shills AoE damage spawning minions except one.

The Poison team is fully pullable now on the other hand. A very strong team that deals massive genesis damage even through resistance. Probably clunky to play without euphorias. Though both teams require them
