But Kuroyukihime herself pointed out that all Duel Avatars start from the same potential. Because that potential is spent on various and wildly different kinds of abilities, each Avatar has situations and opponents which they can easily deal with, and those they will have great difficulty with.
If someone has no weaknesses, then they also have no strengths. If there are no strategies that work well against them, they also have no strategies which work well against others.
Burst Linkers can have varying talents as fighters, tacticians, strategists, leaders, schemers, and whatever else, but their avatars are all essentially equal.
It's also a fact that even the mightiest King started out as a Level 1 newbie, who needed to fight constant duels just to reach the point where they could enter the Unlimited Neutral Field.
True, there are more ways to fight than just duels. Free-for-alls and two-on-two team battles provide a way for "support" type Avatars to progress.
But this offers no protect against random challenges which target just one Avatar. Being on a team is no defense against personal challenges, and the protection of Legion Territories didn't EXIST until the future kings finally reached level 7 or 8.
As someone who became a King herself, White Cosmos would have needed to be able to defend herself from individual attackers and their challenges. What's more, she would need a way to defeat those opponents, or else she wouldn't have earned King status around the same time as the others.
What's more, are there really pure "support" types? I haven't seen or heard anything to suggest that Lime Bell can't use Citron Call on herself to recover her own HP, and she's built exceptionally strong and tough for her small size. She can get into a slugging contest, rack up Special Points from damage dealt and sustained, and then reverse time on herself to recover HP.
Green Grandee isn't just a support-type, since it looks like he could also punch you real good, and he's got a revenge trick of his own to win a fight after a slugging match charges up his Special Meter.
No Duel Avatar would be designed as a rare and precious flower which cannot defend itself. That goes against everything that a Duel Avatar is meant to be.
Yellow Radio, when he started out as a newbie, needed to reduce his opponent's HP to zero. If his "indirect combat" abilities could not do that, then he needed to find another way. Whether by punching them, jumping down on them from a roof, throwing a rock at them, he needed to damage them to win fights.
It doesn't make sense if Level 1 White Cosmos was somehow better able to avoid reliance on direct attacks than Yellow Radio. Compared to him, she would have needed to rely MORE on direct attacks against her opponent to win.

That and her mentality is nothing to scoff at. She climbed the research societies ladder didn't she?

Maybe I'm missing something; I just assumed that she was the one who started the Society.
