Note: All this is generalized there are some steps you may want to skipped based on your play style(Will be marked with *). Specific units will be given alternate options. Finally there will be two sections. The first you should do. The second is for those of you who want to follow a guide further then that.
~~~~~~~~~
Gold Gen*
Recommended
Generally this will always be Betty. However, some of you may not wish to run maps like you did pre-commission. So you can skip this step. If we happen to get the Feng Shui User Mia or Bishop Noel they would replace Betty here if you were going to previously skip this step.
Aria
Recommended
You want to AW Aria here. There really isn't an alternate choice for exactly why she was picked, but Julian could substitute her to some extent.

+2% attack AW passive, min-cost due to being an event unit (or should be), ridiculously nice stats for 10 cost, after AW skill (As 2nd soldier, it's suggested to AW her skill, but not as your first soldier due to nerf to deployment point gathering) breaking 1k attack easily despite being early deploy. Only Jerome is better in overall usefulness soldier wise.
Min-cost Aria is pretty much the #1 most useful/must have event unit in this game.
Healer
Recommended
or
While Iris/Camilla are not the 100% must awaken first healers like Betty is for gold gen. They do have a nice little passive. The burst healing on her placement would open up a few more strategies. As risky as they are. The reason Liana was not picked despite having that same burst healing on placement is because she cost quite a bit more.
Ace (Duelist)
There is no recommendation here because there are far to many options that are completely based on what units you have. Pretty much AW your primary boss fighter.
DPS (Ranged)
Recommended
Generally I see Spica most often being mentioned to AW first for this slot. However, don't let that sway your choice. It is your primary ranged slot DPS unit you want to AW here.
Resource % up
At the point you want to AW everything that will increase the amount/drop rate of Gold, Fairies, Demon Crystals, Affection Items, Trust Items, and any other drop I am forgetting. The sooner the better.
~~~~~~~~~
General Stat % Up
Name pretty much says it. You want to AW any unit that will increase the stats of all your other units by being in their team.
Rarity Stat % Up*
A little more narrow then the previous group. You can skill this if you don't use a ton of that rarity. The only unit I can think of off the top of my head that does this is Sherry who increases the stats of gold units.
Class stat % Up*
Self-explanatory. If you don't use multiple of a single class often skip that class. Ex. You only ever use one Valkyrie at a time, don't prioritize a unit that increase Valkyrie attack by 7% over say Belinda who increases all witches attack by 7%(cause uses multiple witches is often a thing).
