Its in the sticky under AW ORDER.

Basically its laffy's own list of who he is going to AW first.

Although i personally won't recommend betty or healers for the first 3 AW units.
Betty - you'll be pressured to use her, even when you dont need it, because of ROI.
To get the returns for pumping all the resources into her ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), you have to spam maps that you'll usually commission. Her ability is chance to get 100g(?) per kill, so its like 800g vs 2mins of your time.

Of course, you don't HAVE to spam her, but if you don't , why AW her. (other than to pump stuff into her ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
Source: i have merchant totonononono(dmm) which has a similar ability (can spawn tokens that has a chance to get 100g(?) per kill)...i never use her for gold unless the map is clearly very easy (first 2 event maps etc) because 1. I am lazy 2. Mistakes might be made if I am don't pay attention.

Healers - generally healers have poor aw skills (10 MR, drop to heal 500, -1) making them one of the latter targets for AW. (unless you have BLACK iris #smallboobschan..if you do, say in the chat below so we are report you for hacking kappa)

General guideline - awaken those units that
1. you frequently use
2. have good global aw abilities (eg. aria's 2% dmg increase for all, spica's 7% increase dmg for archers, adele's 10% hp up for all)
3. are easier to AW should go first (despara vs bernice = bernice first)*

*if you have prepared the mats/gold/are lucky with orbs, choose whatever you like because YOUR BODY IS READY

bernice AW is arguable because her cost+ and block+ might be hard to manage, especially for people who aren't used to it. also, I wouldn't say fedora's -1 cost AW is poor. but that's me.
also, I'd say one of the greatest reasons for spica AW taking high priority is her damage being able to reach up to 800+ (with self ability, prince buff and skill up) which is necessary to make crystal keeper X easy mode. that said, w/o priest healers it's probably still fairly tough.

You aren't AW healers for the AW abilties. You are AW them because of their increase range allow them to heal from a further distance. That can be key in many maps.

healers don't gain anymore range after AW unless it's from their ability or skill. a CC healer has 260 range and an AW healer has 260 range.

Besides the poor aw abilites, the other reason why i didn't recommend healers as the top 3 awakening candidates is simple .
Awakening orb maps/daily mission X maps - having high DPS makes clearing maps easier. (UP is tight so high dps compensates for lack of min-cost units) Their difficulty lies in clearing mobs fast enough while dealing with low UP (hint archers are gud)


You'll only really need AW healers as you approach the awakened fairy maps, where they allow only AW units.

The thing about that is you have to be able to first clear AW Orb maps without AW units in order to AW... so it is not needed to AW for the maps at all.

EDIT: Wait... it was the additional ability that can make something do or die that made it a priority for AW. I know something got increase ranged that made a difference for AW.... but now I'm confusing myself.

there is a difference between 1 starring and 3 starring those maps. I am running 2 AW units and i still leak units for the harder AW orb maps.
Sora who runs none, and wasn't lucky enough to roll a black cant clear those maps.

Not all AW orbs maps are born equal. I doubt they will release sat/sun's AW map, seeing we are severely lacking many classes, but those are usually the harder AW orb maps
