Love and Deepspace Beginner Guide: What to Do First, and Should You Reroll?

Love and Deepspace centers on five Love Interests: Zayne, Xavier, Rafayel, Sylus, and Caleb. Each one has his own storyline, his own Memory Cards (the collectible cards you pull for through Wishes), and his own combat style once you build a team around him.

• You are not locked into one path forever — you can pursue all five story lines over time.
• Early on, focus on the character whose story and combat style you enjoy most, since your first Wishes will likely go toward his banner.
• Each Love Interest's cards carry a Stellactrum (elemental affinity), shown on the card itself, which matters once you start building a team.

Don't feel pressured to pick a permanent favorite in your first session — the game is built around slowly falling for more than one of them.

Every pull in Love and Deepspace is called a Wish, and there are two separate pools: the permanent Empyrean Wish, which only contains permanent Memory Cards, and the limited-time Deepspace Wish, which rotates in new 5-star Memory Cards tied to events and story updates.

• Save most of your early Wishes for the Deepspace Wish banner if a specific Love Interest's card is featured and you want it.
• The Empyrean Wish pool is a safer long-term investment since nothing in it ever leaves.
• Both pools use a pity system so your luck is never fully random forever — the exact numbers (soft pity, hard pity, and the 50/50 rule) are covered in full in our Wish and Pity System guide, and this beginner page won't repeat them so you always read the current numbers in one place.

Once you pull a Memory Card, you'll want to strengthen it in two separate ways. First, leveling and Awakening the card itself using Bottles of Wishes and Ascension Crystals. Second, equipping a Protocore — a separate piece of gear, similar to an artifact or relic in other games — onto that Memory Card to boost its stats further.

• Memory Cards go into one of two combat slots: Solar (up to 2 cards) or Lunar (up to 4 cards).
• Protocores are farmed in a mode called Core Hunt, and picking the right one takes some know-how — we cover shapes, rarities, and what to keep versus break in our dedicated Protocore guide.
• Don't worry about optimizing Protocores on day one; focus on leveling your main Memory Cards first.

Combat in Love and Deepspace is real-time 3D action, not a turn-based menu. You'll use a basic attack (which can chain into a quadruple hit), a charged attack for bigger damage, an active skill, a Resonance skill, and eventually your Ardent Oath — the character's ultimate move. You also have a dodge button and a target-lock option to keep your camera on the right enemy.

• Enemies come in three tiers: Normal, Elite (which carry a shield that leaves them Weakened once broken), and Boss (high HP, double the shield of an Elite).
• Some fights add modifiers like Cornered Retaliation (enemies hit harder at low HP) or Resonant Pursuit (bonus damage right after breaking a shield) — read the fight's rules before you charge in.
• Practice dodging on weaker Normal enemies before attempting Elite or Boss fights, since timing your dodge matters more than raw stats early on.

In gacha games, "rerolling" usually means creating a fresh account, rushing to your first pulls, and restarting if you don't like the result. In Love and Deepspace, this is a heavier ask than in most other gacha games, and here's why: the opening chapters are dense, voiced, story-driven scenes that you have to sit through again on every new account before you even reach your first proper Wish. For most players, that time cost outweighs the benefit of a better opening pull.

• The game's 50/50 and Precise Wish system already softens bad luck: if you lose the 50/50 on a Deepspace Wish banner, your very next 5-star is guaranteed to be the featured one. You're never more than one unlucky pull away from a guaranteed win, which lowers the value of rerolling compared to games with no such safety net.
• If you're going to reroll anyway, decide first whether the currently featured Deepspace Wish Memory Card is one you actually want, since that's the only card worth restarting over.
• We're still confirming the exact first-login rewards and any starter selector Love and Deepspace may offer new accounts, and we'll update this section with sourced specifics once verified — we won't guess at numbers here.

Our honest take: unless you're deeply set on one specific Love Interest and are willing to redo the tutorial story to get him, save your energy and grow your first account instead. The pity and guarantee systems do a lot of the heavy lifting for you already.

Love and Deepspace regularly issues redemption codes for free Diamonds, Stamina, and Empyrean Wishes. Redeeming them costs nothing and gives your account extra pulls right from the start.

• Codes unlock once you finish Chapter 1 (the first roughly nine missions), so don't worry if the redeem option is missing on your very first login.
• Redeem through your profile icon (top-left) → Settings (gear icon) → More → Redeem Code, then enter the code and confirm. Rewards arrive in your in-game mailbox.
• Codes expire quickly and some are region-locked between Global and Asia servers, so check our live codes page for what's currently active rather than trusting an old list you found elsewhere.

Once your first pulls are spent and your codes are redeemed, the fastest way to grow is simply following the main story — it naturally unlocks new systems, including combat modes and Protocore farming, at a comfortable pace.
