Currently my set up is:

Spiral Demo Helm

Spiral Demo Suit

Ascended Calibur

Horned Owlite Shield

Fiery Vaporizer

I started playing last week and can't seem to go past depth 15 without having to revive a cool 2 times.. Currently, I have both an elemental hood and suit on standby, 30,000 Crowns and 10,000 CE for new stuff. What should I change or add? I noticed I could upgrade the elemental stuff into Miracle armor then into divine armor but idk yet... I'm mainly looking into changing the armor, any advice for a well balanced awesome set I could use? I started off with wolver but didn't like it lol.

So...

...are you going to be a bomber? Why don't you upgrade that Spiral Demo? I think the problem for now, is you are getting hit too much or doing Tier 2 with 2* armors which are entry level. Since you already have an elemental set, try equipping THAT and see how much better you survive (since it's a 3*).

Try to learn how to dodge more attacks (in lag). Do not try to tank hits or swing wildly. Try not to revive with energy unless everyone's dead. Wait for your teammates to revive you.

Finally, see if you can do any better with a third weapon. Open up a weapon upgrade slot and get a gun (probably Pulsar or Blaster) to use against turrets.

EDIT:
Once you are set up, you can work on additional armor sets. Someday you should look to have at least three armor sets to 4* that counter each of the non-normal damage types (piercing, elemental, shadow). Usually people upgrade their elemental defense (with fire resist) first since they are looking to go to fight the Tier 3 boss and brave the Fire-themed area. (Your elemental set and spiral demo set are on this track. Spiral Demo eventually upgrades to Volcanic Demo set.)

Thanks for the advice

Thanks for the advice :D
Looked into the armors you mentioned on the wiki and see it all.
I think I may just go the bomber path, but plan to have a Leviathan by next week so the grey owlite shield is where I want to end up aswell

Just so you know, your

Just so you know, your equipment has reduced effectiveness when you use it in a tier lower than what it's rated for, so upgrading your 4* blade isn't going to help you nearly as much as upgrading your 2* armor would for tier 2.

I did not know that.....

I did not know that..... O______O Which would explain how the ascended calibur is only dealing ~50 damage per hit in tier one lol
I thought it was strange that in tier 2 it was doing a cool ~110 per hit but figured it might be resistance issues with monsters or something.
So, the next task is upgrading my demo suit to heavy demo suit/helm :D
