Anyway, to get to your questions...I personally suggest trying to find a good healer first. I personally like and use Angel because...well, she's hot, but her R stats are rather poor(4460/4760 at Lv40). The skill I use is the base 30% Heal All/10% chance, which maxes out to 45% Heal All/15% chance. However, if you have access to a better healing skill, by all means use it. Healers usually become less useful once you have the ability to point and nuke Lv200 AWs, but for now they are highly useful in killing them off.

Honestly, I'd dump either Snowman Mk2, SR Hervor(if you can't get a second one), or the Nicola that wasn't evolved with Arcana Succession for Nyx or another ATK Down user, or whatever better card you might acquire. However, you do have Lilim, which may make an ATK Down user unnecessary if you hit hard enough. Alternatively, you can swap ATK Down for DEF Down if you can get one, which could make the healer unnecessary as well since you should be able to nuke the AW in only a few turns.

I would max ATK on your self-buffer(In this case, Nicola) first to make her skill more effective. Alternatively, you can max HSR Hervor's ATK to avoid expanding on the Archwitch Field weakness that Nicola and other self-buffers have. However, the low proc rate unless the skill is maxed could turn you off from that.
