iirc you started not long ago, so unless you can farm 3rd map for lauren, I think you should just farm armors today. in particular, aim to rush CC for your core units (1 witch 1 healer 1 archer 1 heavy and katie)

aim for golden armor (monday) H, crystal keeper (thursday) H and maybe skyfallen gift H, as well as phalanx 2 within 2 weeks.
if you can farm lauren, just farm him since you'll need lots of archer fodders.
