Its not a disadvantage because Savage equips from outside the hand, so you don't incur OG Laev's additional gauge cost, and NONE of the items you use - save Trishula - have gauge equip costs. Because you actually do very little equipping from hand, instead using your items in hand for discard costs to grow your hand, and then equip them from drop using Savage.

That's way better than spending your Overkill on OG Laev's which forces you to run 28 items to even get a 60% shot of hitting 3 items, and no guarantee that it won't be, say, more Laevs (which are detrimental) or not all that handy things like Surtr.
