Right, so I was just wondering whether or not having Awakened units is something that is a "must do right away" or if I could hold back on it while I level my other units. Mostly I'm wondering if there are event maps in the near future where I absolutely have to have some awakened unit or I won't survive or whatever. It honestly feels like, from the online guides and such, that it's not a "must do" right now and I should just focus on leveling the units I do have before going for broke and trying to spend time and resources on a single awakened unit.

Oh, and as a side question, I just want to make sure that the units I use for fodder won't affect the awakened unit, so just using a level 30 silver unit to CC and then fodderize. I figure it doesn't matter, but better safe than sorry.
