Same answer should be posted in the wiki as well, but the English one, no idea about the Japanese one.
Should we ever reach the point of guaranteed first drops, it might make sense for new players to CC their archers at 30, since a 30CC20 archer is statwise the same as a 50 non-CC one, though with greater range and easier XP requirements. And said archer is later fed to a Bashira or Spica to awaken her.
