They don't really share any traits except for ATK Down Debuffs. Duran is more built for Arena, with his attack and survivability buffs. However, Ruby is a nice Lead or Sub for spark squads. While she provides no damage potential on ES, you could simply take a friend like Zedus or Mahalu to make up for that. Ruby provides high BC and HC drop rates thanks to her 40 hit SBB and 39 DC normal attack. Her ES further boosts this. If you're only considering ATK Down, Duran surpasses Ruby. However, in FH or spark squads, Ruby is better. She has limited uses.
