Just got prowler from exploring act 8.3. So onslaught and prowler right decision? I have the resources now for direct rank 3.

Either try them yourself and decide, or go with forums advice. Even legacy would take Odin over unduped Prowler.
No he wouldn’t, he’s like the biggest meta rat
Prowler is a brilliant r3 option, and doesn't need his Awakening to justify it. The Awakening increases his damage, and makes him a stronger Battlegrounds champion. It's not needed at all, other than to shorten his fight times when you're against the clock.
What is really important is a Sentinel relic of 4*/5*/6* so that you can Pause his Incinerate debuff - having a good chance of doing this makes a massive difference to his damage; overall, it's probably on a par with the boost given by his Sig.
Putting my money where my mouth is:
-Power drains and power locks the opponent whenever they activate a special attack
-Has non-contact mediums which makes him pretty good for defenders with thorns damage (e.g., Korg, Attuma, Electro and etc)
-Main source of damage comes from his passive ruptures (he can take purify champs like Kingpin quite well because of that) which is a damage-over-time effect that most characters in the game lack an immunity to.
-If possible, you always should use his heavy when the opponent is at zero power to inflict his incinerate debuff. Whilst this incinerate debuff is on them, his ruptures will deal burst damage when they expire (knowing this is especially important for an unduped Prowler, as a duped Prowler can still deal good damage without it in comparison)
-Haven't even mentioned his very useful immunity to bleed and incinerate, and additional 15% ability accuracy (enables Prowler to be one of the best Domino counters in the game).
-SP1 gives him a pursuit passive which lets him bypass evade.
-Prowler cannot crit (very useful for fighting Mr Sinister and Onslaught if you find them annoying), instead inflicts critical ruptures.
Odin admittedly does not have as much utility as Prowler, but he does have similar utility of countering evade with the true strike buff via his sp1, and he's very much tanky with his armor up buff. His SP2 burst damage also scales off the opponent's max HP and his basics hit quite hard, so for that reason, he deals a lot more damage than Prowler. But again, Prowler has significantly more utility than Odin imo.
Idk what kind of champ you prefer so I'll just say R3 Prowler if you want fantastic utility or R3 Odin if you want someone that is tanky, has decent utility but great damage.
