Awakening your character beyond LR+5 is not a requirement. Still, it can give you additional BP and a few enhanced stats when going through the Main Quest, participating in Guild Battles, or doing Battle League.
It will not drastically improve your gameplay, and it is recommended that you only push until LR+5 to wield the Metatron set. Below are the pros and cons of awakening beyond LR+5.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Increases BP | Expensive, especially if the Arcana group consists of limited characters |
| Enhanced Stats are increased for all characters | It only gives small increase in Enhanced Stats |
| Stackable stats | Need certain characters to be in the same rarity to unlock (LR+5) |
