In terms of skills Snowbaron is slightly better, because it has Rec Speed while Hiryu doesn't... But Rec Speed isn't exactly very useful

But Hiryu has higher Defense (A Total of 610, while Snowbaron has 560), 7 Slots (REALLY useful) and at last, but not least, no elemental weakness (a total of 10 elemental res)
