When you get the chance!
Elizabeth
Shizuka
Sasha
Len
Also, Spica boosts ranged attack. Is there anyone that boosts defenses similarly? Or just generally improves your whole army? It seems to me that most characters are awesome once Awakened, and they would have to be to justify the cost. I'm mostly asking to see what characters I should look out for in the future.
Alright, I have a short break. Herkz has answered the question already, but I'll elaborate a little upon them.
First, a correction for Spica. Spica only boosts the attack of archers by 7% by just being in the party. And just for the fun of it, Spica's Awakening Skill is Magic Arrow, the power boost will drop just 1.2 times, the duration shortened to 30 second, and the range boost removed, but her attack becomes Magic, giving her incredible magic single target DPS. The wait time also shrinks to 20 seconds and the cooldown shrinks to 40 seconds instead of the base skills wait time and cooldown of 42.5 and 85 seconds respectively. While this is an excellent skill, some people may prefer the duration, power, and range boost general utility of her base skill, which is also quite useful on certain maps.
As to units that boost defense, Bernice raises the defense of all HAs by 5% by just being in the party, Katie boosts the defense of all units by 2% by just being in the party, Echidna boosts the defense and HP of all Dragon-type units by 5% by just being in the party, and the unreleased black rarity Saint Iris raises the defense of all units by 7% by just being in the party.
Now for Elizabeth, as Herkz said, her ability increases her range by 15, but her Awakening Skill is a little more nuanced. It still has a duration of 30 seconds and reduces the wait between attacks, but it increases her attack power by 1.9 instead of 1.7. However, after using her Awakening Skill, it will turn back into her normal skill for the rest of that battle. The wait time and cooldown on the Awakening skill are a little longer, 22.5 seconds and 45 seconds instead of 20 seconds and 40 seconds respectively, although the cooldown will be 40 seconds if her base skill is used in a battle after her Awakening Skill.
Shizuka and Sasha haven't received their Skill Awakenings yet, so their abilities are as Herkz described, Shizuka boosts the attack power of all Samurai and Ninjas by 7% just by being in the party while Sasha gets an increased attack speed.
Finally, Len gives a 5% boost to the defense of all units just by being in the party as previously mentioned by Herkz. However, her Awakening Skill has a few extra traits. It only lasts 15 seconds instead of 20 seconds and gives her an instant death attack while boosting defense as Herkz said, but it also gets stronger each time it is used. The first usage is equal to her base skill in power, a 20% defense boost, but the second use increases to a 25% boost and the third caps the skill at a 30% boost to defense. So, while it is a little shorter, the assassination as well as the power boost for longer maps could quite useful. The Awakening Skill also has a shorter wait time and cooldown of 35 and 70 seconds instead of 42.5 and 85 seconds. As an added bonus, Len's class ability is strengthened when she is awakened, instead of reducing cooldowns by 10% or 20% depending upon whether or not she is CC'ed, an Awakened Len reduces the cooldown of skills by 30%, so her own skill only has a cooldown of 59.5 for base or 49 seconds for the Awakening Skill.
I can answer more if needed, but that won't be until much later in the day now or until sometime tomorrow, need to go again.
