The reason I fixate more on units like Nadia, Uzume, Gellius and Rachel more than Minerva, Nanaly & Aisha is because the former group of units is merely hard to acquire while the latter group drinks big salty whale tears with every meal.

Personally in my opinion both are good to have AW but end of the day it is who you believe it is better for your team. I am going to awaken Rachel first on my team as I already have Spica and Bashira as good archers but will eventually AW my Nanaly too. Her increased range and skill make her good for large maps and with her affection up has more health than Nanaly just a little less defense but only by two point. But as I said who would you use more?

Throw in the Black tier initial skill timer and you have a unit that's uniquely suited to single-handedly carrying a crappy team past nasty early rushes through the magic of superior firepower. She's less dramatic on a veteran team that's already rocking Awakened plats but even then she's a nice pickup.
i think i didn't make myself clear here, i WILL awake Nanaly because 1. i want that nice range up and 2. she has a nice dmg up against flying monsters
i was just asking if Rachel was worth awakening, now i have done some research and while she seems usefull in the future (dat 90s skill), right now she seems more like a situational unit to me, maybe i'll awake her after a few units
