So I have been playing a bit over a month now and I am in a situation where I have no idea how I want to should spend my medals. I have about 50K burning a hole in my pocket and there are a few upgrades that would dramatically improve my play, but the possibility of getting a second Jean from the current event is making me stop and think hard about how I should approach my situation. I was hoping someone with more experience could give me some advice. At the moment I am killing FAWs consistently, but the rng screws with me more often than I would like. I am starting to stare down LAWs like they owe me money (I managed to solo one with 12bp using this deck), and am looking to improve my performance against them. Here is my current deck, with the upgrades I have spent on them.

HUR Oriens: (Super Buffer) Skill Lvl 5. Maxed Def.

UR Jean: (Unleasher) Skill Lvl 1.

SR Hammock Babe: (Super Buffer) Skill Lvl 10.

SR Venus: (5 turn delayer) Skill Lvl 1.

3 Star R Furinkazan: (Unleasher) Skill Lvl 10.

Jean is the problem child for my decision. I am farming WGs to try for a second one, and if I get it I have no idea if I should to evolve them asap or switch the second one with Furinkazan and wait until I find another unleasher or have a ton of awakening mats. If I awaken it in the next few weeks blowing 12k medals for a 5% better chance would seem like a major waste. Upgrading the defence immediately would be the most helpful in the short term, but that would be a huge waste unless I end up using two of them individually. If I don't get the second Jean, I will want to upgrade the current one once the event ends.

The Hammack Babe and Venus were both random drops from a FAW, and could both use more defence. I feel more comfortable investing in them since I doubt I will be getting another any time soon, but they have a pretty low soldier count, so the upgrade itself seems far less usefull.

As for Furinkazan, after I get the next one to upgrade it to HSR, I would have no doubt about maxing the defence, but again I question the utility of that upgrade vs upgrading the current Jean or even switching it out for another card. But I am probably a long ways away from ditching an unleasher completely, I will probably be using it in the EH or my Defence deck for a while even if I end up removing her from my FAW team.

I am trying to awaken Oriens, but am not counting on it happening anytime soon. Untill then, I don't see any need to upgrade her skill.

What do you guys think is the right decision to make here? If you have any other thoughts, I would be happy to hear them.

It is a bit off topic, but do you guys think I could join a LAW farming alliance with this deck?
