Sugar Tray and Defense

I'm a new director who's been playing for about 3 months. I heard that this Tray-senpai is strong and has good synergy with Maretsumu... but I have a lot of SSRs that are Defense type, and this Tray-senpai is also Defense, so I'm hesitating 😭 Azul is my absolute favorite, but I heard rumors that he might appear next year for New Year's, and after that, his birthday and the anniversary are coming up, so I'm really torn on what to do. Senpai directors, please give me some advice 🙇🏻‍♀️´- Sugar Lilia is Attack type, so I'm wondering if I should pull for that one instead...
