Should improving Arcoscephale Golden Era be a priority?

Maybe not dozens of reliefers, but certainly Drain and Skeletons is simple enough: Mound Fiends with staffs. It doesn't help that death magic can expand exponentially as long as you fuel it properly, and all forms of Arco can Acash for all gem types easily enough, so you won't be lacking for death gems. One Mound Fiend can summon other Mound Fiends, and it just goes on.
