Lost Ark's card system enhances the gaming experience by providing players with a strategic avenue to significantly boost their damage output with minimal effort. The incorporation of cards allows players to fine-tune and optimize their character's strengths without the need for exhaustive grinding or complex mechanics. By carefully selecting and upgrading cards, players can unlock potent synergies that not only streamline the path to higher damage but also add an element of customization, empowering them to tailor their playstyle with efficiency and effectiveness.

Considering the current state of the game on Global, players should actively have Demon/Beast %. Most if not all legion raids are demon damage. Most guardians and including G2/3 Voldis is beast damage. These are content that you do on a daily/weekly basis and everything helps towards the reclear time.

It's understandable for newer players to not have a large amount of card exp but anyone that is over roster 200 should be at the minimum 3% demon/beast. With the amount of cards that are be duplicated in chaos dungeons, people are starting to accumulate exp without ever using it after getting their LOS30/KLC18.

3% is effectively a 1 engraving for a couple cubes/usual weeklies a week vs grinding legion raids for gold then buying BC for pheons then buying accs for a 1 for a 5x3 1 build.

A quick reminder of sources for card exp; Field Bosses, Chaos Gates, Chaos Dungeons, Cubes, Challenge Abyssal.

This is not meant to be fuel to gatekeep others but definitely a point that should not be ignored as it is rather cost efficient in terms of damage across the account.
