they both have their strengths and weaknesses.

I would say for regular FAW battles and certain EH battles, Lapraz is more useful. with a team of unleashers, AW Field doesn't have much of an impact. the weakness, though, is since she only buffs herself, the death count ability on Lapraz ruins the strategy unless the FAW is close to dead (meaning Lapraz has max damage already or very soon and only needs 4 hits). This is the reason I am using an all ATK+DEF buffer right now--- the death count seems to get through skill nullifiers rather easily, so I stopped using them... and instead I have 2 team buffers (one is a back-up for the death count) and need 3 buffs total to achieve max damage.. even if both buffers die I usually can use the remaining cards to finish the job because they were also buffed.

In certain EH battles--- mainly ones with 4 servants, Lapraz can achieve max damage quickly and kill the main AW in 1-2 turns and just clean up the rest. of course this strategy does have weaknesses, like if the enemies gang up on Lapraz with crits, turn skips, and on non-dark days, that Elemental Wave, she can go down and leave behind unleashers who can't do anything.

In EH, my final team for all elements is Monkey + single unleashers + 1-2 turn skips (haven't needed to max Speedster even for Dark). this is a very safe team against all kinds of nonsense since the turn-skips chain together while Monkey just buffs herself. against FAW, Speedster definitely requires more turns, and an AW Field that sneaks through in the middle of her buff sequences basically ruins your game-- you're pretty good with 2 skill nullifiers (and unleashers can work with the nullifiers to make the team extra safe), but your overkill potential also suffers.
