You really don't need anything special to kill an AW, it just might take you awhile. Back during Mammon several of us were killing AW with 2x Angel, 2x Delphinus, and a random damage card, myself included. It was slow, but it got the job done. Also this was back in the days before AW wave, so when an AW procced she used her real ability which was generally an AoE your whole team is dead proc. Nowadays any player can get 2 1* Nyx cards if they are willing to look for a semi active alliance and easily make a basic debuff deck. For reference, a deck with 2 SR debuffers, 2 healers, and a 20% AoE damage card with max attack can kill an AW in 23-25 turns with a 98%+ success rate thanks to no fear of AW field and very little fear of AW wave once they get their debuffs in place.

During December Nubee had both Reindeer Girl (up to 6 skipped turns) and Nicola (+300% self buffer). With 3 or 4 Reindeer girl on a team, that's 18 or 24 turns where the AW can't attack, wave, or field you which is plenty of time for an attack boosted Nicola to finish the fight.

Money for the event AW killer cards will help a player get into the game faster, but even a free player can have a decent AWK deck within a month or two if they are active. Then just save all your light swords for 3 or 4 events and you should have enough to compete for the top 300 without spending a dime.
