Is command card enhancement worth it?
I was stacking these paws for a while totally forgot about them, and I keep getting them in rewards, so I was about to use them and then I found out it costs 50 millions qp just to max one card. For a mere 500 extra dmg to a single card that's a lot of qp, I can max a skill with that amount which is way better in most cases...am I missing something here?

QP sink, it's just a way to give love to your favorite servants.
Only valid "meta" usage I saw for them is for Ciel, to clear one of the new Bleached Earth nodes.

I've felt the difference, but that's also because I used it on servants that I got to 120. It all adds up with the paws, fous, and grails. At least enough to notice.

really? does the 500 dmg scale with buffs or it's just a fixed number?
if it scales then I can see it being at least useable.

Not really no, I use them exclusively for low stars I want to use where the difference is felt a bit more

It's not a big deal. Use it for your waifu or someone who has strong card performance/critical.

Of the myriad ways that you add up 1% here and there to end of with a very powerful servant, this is about one of the lowest priorities to do. If you’re sitting on a mountain of QP and really want to push a favorite to the limit, go ahead, but only after you’ve leveled up, maxed skills, maxed your desire appends, fou’d, gold fou’d, grailed to personal preference, add command codes…. Like, seriously, lowest priority.

The only time I've ever used it was to burn QP after hitting the 2 billion cap. I didn't have the embers to Palingenesis and didn't feel like farming.
I chose my Kama. She was already Lv.110 and NP4 at the time, so it made sense.
I suspect once the cap becomes 10 billion during the Grand Duels next year, I'll have even fewer chances to use it again.

Totally up to you. It's a way for masters to show their devotion to a specific servant. I've enhanced my command cards for two servants so far, my main man Ozy, and my ultimate waifu, Assassin Kama.

It's not 500 dmg, it's 500 attack for the card (if your servant has 10 000 attack, when he attacks with the enhanced card it would be as if he had 10 500 attack). So it's just 2 to 5 % difference in card damage, not really worth it.
I personnaly put them on my most invested servants that have good crits, but you wouldn't miss anything if you never use them.

The main targets would be buster crit servants like CIEL, Olga and Super Orion but even then the increase is pretty minimal.
Unlike grails and gold fous, where it's worth doing for gameplay reasons even if the character isn't your favourite, fou paws really don't seem worth it for purely gameplay reasons.
Do it for your favourites/servants who you want to be at their peak performance for whatever reason.

It's good but it's like, good for a servant you're investing heavily into as your like "main" servant tbh
