I wouldn't use gems for a summon period unless you have nothing else to spend it on. Most of the time you end up getting R cards anyways. But there are those lucky few that get awesome cards. Personally I use the gems to stock up on those battle rods before alliance wars/duels. Or to upgrade the magic school.

As far as a F/AW team goes. You can't go very far without buffers. And aoe buffers seem to be preferred. You also need a main attacker, from what I've gathered in a crit hitter is the fastest way to do max damage.

Oh and once you get your hands on a good HSR card (evolved with the gold succession arcana) using the att/def arcanas go a long way in defeating F/AWs
