Spare Gold: AW Fodder, CR Fodder, or Rainbow Crystals?

Not to mention RC are for whales mostly, since you have to discharge Gold+ units (not very common if you aren't spending) and event units take a huge hit to their trade-in value. The only way to "farm" RC is to farm Demon Crystals on Thursday and trade for Cyrus (the only TP unit that's also in shrine and therefore gets full trade-in value). however, that's 100 DC for 20 RC and will take ages without SC spending which defeats the purpose of using this method in the first place (other than avoiding silvers mixed into your shrine rolls).

Anyways, AW fodder is generally a bad use for gold because you can farm silvers in events, CC them and use that instead. Using gold units as AW fodder is something only full-time whales would do. CR/SU for commonly used units is recommended by me, especially the first one (which is guaranteed). Rarely used units depends on if they're niche like Anemone (though this might become a common use down the road when we get more story areas) or if they'll almost never be used due to having better alternatives (like in my previous post's examples). Units you'll likely never use I'd keep one copy for scene completion and trade the rest.

Honestly, when i got my second garret... i used one of them to AW my Bernice. Events just had such long breaks. Silvers got rare. What can i say? I dont intend to ever use garret but since im a collector i keep at least one copy of every rare unit. When i get a second one being as "useless" as garret though (heck even leannee makes a better second HA to bernice then garret) i can just as well save me some gold, save me some farming and save me 2 silvers.
Same would go for lets say Stray and AWing Archers like Bashira and Spica. Or your second cyrus when u already have mehlis and garania. The RC are not worth it as i dont spend so much that i will hit 1000 RCs anytime soon.
In my eyes using golds as AW fodder is absolutly acceptable if you know for sure u never itend to use them ever. (and if your like me u will keep around at least one copy anyways)

Well, if you're NEVER going to use them (Garret is a good example, even the silvers do his job better) and you're not interested in saving toward RC units (non-whales will take ages to get enough RC so some of them may give up on it altogether) then sure, it's fine to use such units for AW fodder. If you have interest in RC or think you might use the gold, then I'd heavily recommend NOT using them as AW fodder if you aren't a full-whale player.
