PITY

-> all different types of pity are explained here in these graphs

XSPACE ECHO

-> NO pulling via diamonds, you'll get a lot of Empyrean Wishes by simply playing the game regularly -> since you get 5 Star Solar Crates after a certain amount of wishes: personally I recommend getting Abysswalker (Rafayel) asap and would advise against going for Foreseer (Zayne) and Farspace Colonel (Caleb) ->-> Abysswalker has crowd control, making it easier to hit multiple Wanderers at once ->-> both Foreseer's and Farspace Colonel's attack strength scales heavily off your Defense stat. The only way to increase it is through Protocores which you need to unlock first, making them both rather unfit companions for newer players -> every new version update has a special version of Xspace Echo where you choose five standard 5 stars as the only five stars in the pool. Wishes cap at 350, you get two 5 Star crates, and it uses Empyrean Wishes it's fantastic for getting more cards of a specific LI or ranking specific cards up. Up to you if you want to save for that or continue pulling in the regular Xspace Echo banner

MYTH BANNERS

-> gives you powerful companions if (!!) you pull both cards -> gives you a crate at 150 pulls, so in the worst case scenario, you need to pull until then to get the full myth

RERUNS

-> I personally wouldn't pull for them unless you have enough resources to get the card guaranteed since reruns are more expensive real money-wise (idk if you plan to put money into this game tho) -> imo the only reruns worth pulling for are myth reruns -> keep in mind that reruns run on a seperate pity system then all other banner types. If you want to built pity, I'd only do it on new banners

GALAXY EXPLORER

-> passive way to get cards and rank them up. You get new magnets by doing your dailies, so make sure to do it daily -> while it's not confirmed in the game itself, many people have said that they get better results by following the 'divide by 6' rule:

Let's say the bigger coordinate is at 47 when you enter Galaxy Explorer. 47 divided by 6 is 7.66, so you set the coordinates to 47-8

-> there's also the 'divide by 4' rule but generally the 'divide by 6' one seems to give even better results. Just experiment a little & see what works better on your end -> using multiple Speedup Cubes at once seems to give better results. Only use them in bulk in the Radiant Galaxy since that one can drop 5 Star shards

TEAM BUILDING

CARD LEVELING

[[the following is only really important if you choose to do Deepspace Trials and participate in the Senior Hunter Contest]] -> the max card level is 80 + you can ascend them once you reach that level. Don't do that, you're burning more resources than it's worth, especially when you just started out. You can still easily pass levels by having a level 70 or even level 60 team as long as you have good Protocores The best proof of that is me beating the Junior Hunter Contest with one Team still being entirely on level 1 and every card having good Protocores equipped -> pay attention which Stellactrums you level for each LI. They all have different main Stellacturm colors:

Xavier: Emerald (standard myth) + Amber (limited myth) + Ruby

Zayne: Sapphire (standard) + Ruby (limited) + Pearl

Rafayel: Violet (standard) + Pearl (limited) + Amber

Sylus: Pearl (standard) + Emerald (limited) + Sapphire

Caleb: Ruby (standard) + Violet (limited) + Emerald

focus primarly on the main Stellactrums of each LI. Those are also the ones that will show up most often when doing their orbits, plus you'll have an easier time in both Open Orbits and the Senior Hunters Contest that way -> go for Myth Pairs over single 5 Star Solars. Equipping a Myth Pair gives you several bonuses such as faster oath recovery time, which will help you more than a solo 5 Star Solar ever could. So until you have a 5 Star Myth Pair, you're fine just using the 4 Star ones for the time being -> the Claymore deals the most damage out of all standard weapons, so if you can get a handle on its play style, go for that one

COMPANIONS

-> Lumiere (Xavier) is supposedly really good, so if you're thinking on pulling on a rerun banner, this is the one! Ultimate Weapon X-02 (Caleb) is also really strong, but it just had its release banner, so it's going to take a while until it reruns -> generally 5 Star Companions are far stronger than their regular counterparts, so always go for the 5 Star ones -> you can switch which companion you want to fight with. Let's say you just got Sylus' Relentless Conquerer and what to use him in battle but his 5 Star Solars are still at level 1 while his 4 Star Myth Pair is at level 50. Just equip the 4 Star Myth Pair, click on the circle next to your companion, and switch This will be especially useful for Deepspace Trials since -> as mentioned above, if you're using your crates for 5 Star Companions, I'd recommend Abysswalker (Rafayel) because crowd control is great imo <3 -> also as mentioned above, I'd avoid using both Foreseer (Zayne) and Farspace Colonel (Caleb) until you have decent Protocores since their attack power scales of your defense stat. Once you do have good Protocores they are really powerful, but you won't get much out of them before that

PROTOCORES

-> the Protocore system is a little much tbh, so if you want I can give you a little more in-depth explanation once I feel like I actually properly understand what to keep an eye out for XD until then though, you can use this little team tracker I made to give you some guidance on what to look out for in your Protocores. It's still a WIP, but feel free to mess around with it. I also have a private one for myself so don't worry about entering your own cards

DIAMOND FARMING

FREE ONE TIME DIAMOND SOURCES

-> those include...

leveling and ascending cards

the free Daily and Weekly Pack in the store

3 star-ing battles

Dates (from 5 and special 4 Star cards)

Secret Times

Tender Moments

Anecdotes

World Underneath

Plushies and Meow Badges

Abyssal Chaos (takes a bit to complete but gives a lot of diamonds!!)

Primary & Junior Hunter Contest

+ some others I can't think of right now...

-> even if you don't care about the love interest, do all their content you have available to get some free diamonds. Either just quickly tap through their anecdotes or let the card date auto run while you do something else for a bit. The amount of free diamonds are really limited, so get all the free ones you can get

REFRESHING DIAMOND SOURCES

-> Deepspace Trials usually get updated with a new version update, but they do not refresh your progress. Definitely a great source for diamond farming if you have a decent team, but not necessarily something to focus on -> the Senior Hunter Contest is your best (and so far pretty much only ;-;) way of consistently farming diamonds in the late game. It refreshes every two weeks and you can earn up to 600 diamonds alongside SSR Protocores, Empyrean Wishes, Energy Capsules and Core Energy every season. Not a lot in terms of diamonds unfortunately, but it's better than nothing Try to pass both Primary and Junior Hunter Contest as soon as possible. The best LIs for passing the first two rounds are Xavier, Zayne and Rafayel. The Stellactrum colors change regularly for the Senior Hunter Contest though, so it's best to level every LI's main Stellactrums

OTHER

-> grab all the freebies you can get, free stuff is always great <3 -> always do your dailies, it's the main way to level up -> also always grab the Empyrean Wishes from the Chocolate and Heartsand Shops that refresh weekly//the discounted ones from the Wish Shop that reset monthly -> if you have instagram/twitter/facebook installed on your device, you can hit share and then immediately back out of the menu, and you'll still get the 10 diamonds as a share bonus -> you can get all items in the event shop even without pulling any of the new cards by simply doing all the other event tasks and doing the daily tasks -> if you want to raise Affinity, go to 'With Him' & then click on 'Memo'. It lists all the ways you can raise it further. Some actions are only a one time thing though, but those are checked off once done -> at a certain point, your main way of raising Affinity will be through obtaining either new cards, new plushies or new Meow Badges -> if you need help with Abyssal Chaos, let me know, I have an (almost) finished tracker for it <3 quick tip right away though: certain codes require another code as a prerequisite. The prerequisite codes always have a little question mark symbol on their explanation, so if you always use those, you'll eventually get all codes
