Should I use my 5* awakening gems on champs who don't need it?

At this point in the game, I'm pretty much exclusively upgrading 6*s, but I do still use my 5* rank 5 roster. There are four champions on it who aren't awakened. They are BWCV, Apocalypse, red mags, and warlock. None of them need to be awakened, but I have class 5* gems I could use for all of them and that would still leave me with 3 generics. So do I awaken all of them with the gems even though it's not needed? It feels to me like there's no point of me keeping these gems just sitting in my inventory when I've got 3 generics, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something.

    Magneto could definitely use it, gives him some burst damage on his heavy which helps to whittle down your opponent's health while you are building prowess

    Warlock awaken ability makes him a dual threat but i have so much awakening gem in 5* that i awaken my all 5*r5 champ, even without reading their abilitues and my roster is still have 5* in majority, though 6* champions start to occupy their positions

    Warlock and Magneto punch way up above their weight; and if you Awaken them, in time you'll Ascend them, too. You can use Ascended 5/65s like those two right up to Thronebreaker.

    as you're developing a 6* roster, the. IMMEDIATE need to awaken and rank a 5* drops, rapidly. and yes, Mags and Warlock get immediately better from sig1. Apoc is only for questing (EQ/ SQ/ AQ maybe?), and Claire does all her fun stuff without the sig ability.

    BUT you're still going to be pulling and popping 5* crystals.sooner they're awakened, the sooner they start crapping out 6* shards. and eventually max sig crystals. you don't NEED to save the resource? use it, have some fun with it, and build to where it helps your 6*.

    rinse and repeat once you get into the 7* game. and good luck with it!
