Hmm... I would say go for Benzaiten if you have enough vitality to get through the special area (around 300 something). Because she's a buffer and can potentially be awakened. Awakened cards tend to survive better and you really need buffers to deal with FAWs. Plus you're guaranteed to get her as long as you make it through the area unlike most other URs which rely on chance to get a second copy. That was why I tried for it on my second account that only had the free GSR Griffin as the strongest card. And while Melty's crit can be helpful (it hits for around 55k as a HSR) if you're lacking stronger cards, she only has one proc unless you have unleashers to get extra procs.

The encounters in the special area are much like the normal event map and since you can just skip over AWs, the only battles you really need to get through are the progress point ones and the area boss.
