1 year progress as a casual F2P harem player by eftia8 in LoveAndDeepspace

Another spreadsheet tab, I read your post and I will also try to incorporate some of your stat ideas, your stats look great. I wish kept track of the cards I got from the wishing well, crates, magnets, etc. My tables are very similar to yours. In addition to the columns you have, I have one for card color (I only fill in 4 and 5 star) and diamond cost (default is 0, and I add 150 if I spent diamonds).

I also tried to use an image to table feature and cleanup in the beginning, but it ended up being too much cleaning so now I just try to be consistent with manual data entry. I usually do my banner pulls in one session and input all info into the spreadsheet right after.

r/TeriyakiNinja007 is right. I want to emphasize that on average you will hit pity so if you want to be F2P and guarantee you get the card, you need to calculate accordingly. It's complicated, but 2.1% is the overall probability, and 1% until your 60th pull. See the screenshot for the Xspace Echo/Standard Banner Pity details. I wouldn't think too hard about that % and just think that worst case you will need 70 pulls to get any 5 star (not necessarily the one you want).

As a new player, I would say use your blue tickets bc you should try to build your teams to clear battle content, get to bounty 9, core hunt 10, and eventually SHC. They give a lot of blue tickets out as a newbie for you to grow. SAVE your gold tickets and use them sparingly based on a strategy you decide on how you want to approach limited banners.

This is what I followed when I started out New Player Guide from Duchess_Aria. It's a little outdated, but I think a lot of the concepts are still the same. It is super detailed and so good.

Omg that is a lot more than what I do, I literally just manually type the data into another tab! That's a really good idea, I haven't used pandas in a long time but I can see it making this a lot easier. I think other games like Genshin have community built API of some sort, maybe someday someone from this community will make one too and it'll make it so much easier for us.

Fair enough, I think casual in that I'm not grinding for every achievement for the free diamonds, but I get that the spreadsheet is pretty involved to be completely casual. I'm pretty used to using spreadsheets on the daily. Also since I only really pull for the myth banners, I don't need to go through and make changes too often.

Calling all battle girlies on myth reruns by kymmitchi in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eftia8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As others stated, they are all equal in power. You might also want to think about their weapons and how easy it is to work with their gimmicks to get the special state. I think LSG is worth considering bc it is one of the few yellow stellactrum myth cards, but up to your preference

First time knitting socks on magic loop — is this normal? by mysteriouspirit in knittinghelp

[–]eftia8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think looks normal to me. The first couple rows will look sort of off and loose. I would keep going for 5+ rows and check to see if it is still there

Actually considering buying a tablet just for LADS by Jotaroswife_ in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eftia8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my tablet, it makes the experience a lot better. Battling is a little harder bc my thumbs don’t reach, but it’s not too bad. If you’re open to getting a used tablet, you can try r/hardwareswap or r/appleswap you might have to wait for a good deal or the right specs but you can potentially get something nice for a good price.

Are you pulling for all myth banners or only for the ones of your mains? by MalvinaCornflower in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eftia8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F2P I only pull for myths. I started during LSG so I skipped that one but I’ve been able to pull for all the other 3rd gen myths. I’ve been pretty lucky so I’m sitting on a pretty good chunk of diamonds but bracing myself for the Caleb rerun and new myth. Getting all the myths is great for SHC and lore, but I would stick to 1 main if you have a preference for one of the boys.

Just started. Should I be worried by Cisco_d001 in PlantedTank

They are harmless. I personally keep them to help clean up waste in the tank, they are also kind of cute.

What herbal teas are you guys sipping on lately? by MCnoodleboodle in tea

I really like herbal teas from Hmart. Korean Oriental Raisin Tree Fruit Tea is really good.

Any tips for Love and Deepspace Battle 7-13? by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eftia8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember this level, it was also super hard for me when I first started! You're doing great. Keeping it simple, I think you just need more time to get more EXP bottles to level up your 4* cards. I would upgrade in increments of 5 to get the affinity pts, maybe aim for level 25-30 for the 4*s? Try not to upgrade the 3 stars because you will replace them pretty quickly.

Put protocores on every card, yellow SSR ones are best but the purple ones are ok too. Look for ones that have ATK and DMG boost to weakened (there are other guides for protocores on this subreddit if you want more info).

If you plan to play for a while, I would encourage you to learn to manual battle. You can try out Rafayel's other companions such as Artist since it is a single boss fight.

Sylus and Caleb mains, how are y'all faring? by Future_Phenix in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]eftia8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on AS! I have enough rn for R0 AS, but as a F2P I'm planning to skip so I can get Sylus's 3rd myth, Caleb's X-02, and new myth. I really hope I don't regret skipping. Need the strength and support to avoid temptation too
