For a F2P player, it's unlikely that you would be able to afford spending Dragon Eyes on anything but Awakenings. Of course, that is, if you actually land on a Hime that can be awakened... ... but what you can get with Dragon Eyes outside of Awakenings is... well, not much. Better save them up for Awakenings, should RNG bless you.
Himeless SSR weapons are for whales only. That's not really a problem, as they're nothing particularly special. They get a big power boost when FLB hits Nutaku, but eventually even through events you'll start to bridge the gap.It doesn't have to be only Belial... Hraesvergr for Wind or Kirin for Thunder are fine too. In a couple of weeks we'll also get Water 100% Eidolon.
... well, Kirin is questionable since Thunder SR Himes are rather lacking.The amount of Jewels gained from events is about to explode, so free players will have access to far more SSR Hime than before. Then you just need to pray to the RNG gods that you'll get useful SSRs, instead of random garbage.
