ARGH! Stupid latents.

Turns out that the latent invades are only on the Legendary technicals, and they're the CRAP latents. Auto-Heal is worthlessly weak -- even if you stack five of them on the highest-RCV monster in the game you're still only recovering less than a single Auto-Heal non-latent awakening.

Improved stat latents have some VERY narrow niches -- Improved RCV is way stronger than Auto-Heal on Awoken Amaterasu (DK~!) and Christmas Archangel (but still kinda weak), and Improved ATK is better than no latent awakenings at all and might possibly make a difference with enough bonuses in place, and Improved HP could make or break a team against the right bosses, but... honestly, Time Extend is more generally useful, and even the elemental resists are useful against bosses with gravity.
