Should I awaken X-23?

I just finished exploring 5.3 today and pulled a 5* mutant awakening gem from the rewards. I have a 5* X-23 at rank two right now, and will be taking her all the way to rank 4 once I have the resources. I will also be going for my first clear of Labyrinth of Legends once she is 4/55. My team will be 4/55 Starlord, 4/55 X-23, and then 4* magneto, 5* Magneto, and 5* Cyclops for the synergies. With that in mind, is it worth it to awaken X-23? (Please explain your answers)

i'm curious to see what the actual percentage dmg gain from x23 boost as well since I'm in the same boat as the OP and if someone has actually tested it rather than making blind guesses that "it's just a crit boost" it would be helpful. What if the crit gain is much higher than the typical little crit synergies between champs and increases her damage by say 30% or 40%?
i'm planning to try a few attempts for 5-star iceman and if no luck, I'll awaken my 4 star x23 first and get her high sig and record a handful of WS ROL kills to decide how good or bad the dupe is more objectively. If it's a much greater gain that these posters are alluding to, I'll decide if it's worth the awaken or not.
Does a single poster here stating definitely don't waste duping her even have a 5 star X23 and any direct experience?
so in other words you can read the description like the rest of us and blindly guess that it's not worth it with no objective testing? The sig calculator shows that sig 61 5/50 while bleeding (in aggressive long fights like LOL) is essentially permanent, her crit rate is increased by 315 or 46% as well as the crit damage. Her total damage is highly tied to crit since her bleeds comes from lacerate (crits) in addition to the actual melee and specials hits being crits so it basically double dips. Depending on sig, with no evidence other than taking 3 secs to read the sig you can conclude that a crit rate and dmg boost of 315 (30-50% depending on sig) is insignificant and not worth it? Seatin has vids of a DUPED 4/55 x23 1 shotting RULK easily without boosts on in 440 hits with 75% of the 2nd enrage timer remaining. Unfortunately he doesn't have the same fight unduped. Again, the significance of a 300-360 crit rating and damage boost on bleeding targets specifically for long aggressive fights like LOL where you are basically almost constantly hitting them could be more significant than you think.
there is no question that iceman's dupe is better for general play in AW and easy quests, but if the OP's goal is to clear LOL, the huge crit rate and dmg boost, resulting in even more bleeds, I have a feeling is more significant than most of the posters here think since none have taken the time to actually compare the numbers.
