lets not forget about awakened spica. Increases damage to all archers , and gets bonus damage to fliers , which is great for farming the x and g maps for more dcs. There are a crapload of units that i'd rather awaken first before buying a saki. That was exactly my point. If ill ever have extra , then sure , ill go for her , but i wouldn't recomant a saki to newbies , unless they really really need a ranged on melee slot
