Salvation set also gives you additional damage, so characters using it will be better off with LOS18 pretty much always unless they have a really bad weapon. And honestly even if you have a good quality weapon only, DD30 (9.3% damage increase with 100 quality weapon) is getting way too close to LOS18 (7% damage increase) to go out of your way to get it. If you happen to max out one of the legendary cards necessary to get it - yes, it's an improvement. But not big enough to justify opening selection boxes if you ask me. As for DD18, any reasonably decent weapon makes it inferior to LOS18 so imo it's only ever worth for new players.
Some additional notes that were not covered in the video, for those that want some more specifics into the card set and the numbers iirc, deep dive set is still additional damage not % damage like that of grudge. Think of it like getting some weapon quality, because of that, it's relative to weapon quality. The better your current weapon quality, the less damage the card set will provide overall. (not less than LoS18 in all scenarios) The damage is additive. It affects different sets more dramatically. If you're a class running salvation, there is a net damage loss over LoS18. Since you gain all additional damage from the set itself, so more on top only can do so much. However, nightmare, there's a small damage increase over LoS18 on fights that are not affected by Holy damage. Basically, if you're using a set other than salvation, deep dive 30 will provide a small bump in damage, to as much as almost 2% damage over LoS18.

Thank you for the comparison. Because I have been farming merchants, my Pridehome Neria, Thunder, and Varuut cards are or near fully awakened (4 to 5 awakenings ea). The only card I am missing is the "Azena and Inanna" card. I guess I will be opening the 250+ "rare to legendary" card packs I have been saving away. It is only recently that I have been farming merchants and I did not realize how good it is in filling out many of these packs. Deep Dive and Desert of Sky are near 18 and I have been collecting a lot of Seria cards for Lost Wind Cliff. Thanks again. I think I will at least have a 18 awakened Deep Dive for my Surge Blade soon. Edit: whoops meant "rare to legendary" and not "epic to legendary" I only have like 40+ "epic to legendary" card set.
Just realized Deep Dive is a 7 card set. So even if I am missing Azena and Inanna, I can still put this on my Deathblade and get the perks. I guess I will be farming merchants even more now.
Haha hold the card exp to get the DD30 set first though as it’s going to result in more damage, and it’s against everything. Once you get that, then maybe start worrying about Demon/humanoid/etc extra damage :)
@@itsDubla How far ahead are ppl today on the card sets on average, u got any personal experience? I took a break at 1k hours and recently returned so ppl who kept going are at 2-3k hours now. I would guess some have finished awakening already :p
@@LanaNoMana I haven’t been SUPER lucky. But most of the people I party with in public groups around 1560 or 1570 have LOS18. There’s a few people I’ve seen with LOS30. But it’s like 5 out of 100
Hey bro, I know you are not a big channel, but you are the prove that if people really love what the are doing you will get some love. Congratz from Brasil.
Ahhh, thank you so much! I appreciate you :) I lived in Rio for 3 months in early 2021. I can’t wait to go back there, your culture is amazing and I fell in love with it. Your words mean a lot to me 💪🏼
You do realize that you're just basically telling people to whale on the game cuz there's no way to get 30 piece Awakening without spending real money unless you have insane luck and spend a year on six different characters... And in what world is deep dive better than los
LOS 30 is something that takes a lot of time and luck in many cases. In no way shape or form did I suggest someone spend real money in this entire video… If YOU feel like you need to whale, then do your thing. Deep dive 30 is better than LOS 18 except for 3 gates out of 16… this is what I said.
deep dive 18 is a good starter set for people just getting into the game. 5 of the 6 cards you need are from the traveling merchants, and the 2 legendary cards are the most common drops if you do abyssal card runs regularly. You can get the deep dive 18 in a month or two if you're tracking them regularly. The two legendary cards you progress while getting deep dive 30 transitions you nicely over to LoS when you have enough cards. I'll second his statement, he never suggested anyone whale to get the cards. The only suggestion was check the cards you're aiming to get, and use your 10 card packs from your weekly challenge abyss towards it. Pretty straightforward.
I didn’t realize how close I was to getting Deep Dive 18! I need it! Thank you for these tips! I didn’t know how valuable those packs were!

I could get myself deep dive 30 but i have no card xp sadge. Gotta grind that dmg increase vs. demons though xD

I just came back to the game and realise I have Deep dive 18 ready just by pure luck haha
Yoooo let’s go! That’s freaking massive
