If you're new to Love and Deepspace, clear daily and weekly tasks consistently, spend red gems only on limited wishes, save standard wish cards and blue shards, and focus on building one main love interest while avoiding unnecessary upgrades to low-rarity cards.
Start With Daily and Weekly Tasks
Completing daily and weekly tasks consistently is the foundation for fast account growth. These actions unlock rewards like stamina, wish cards, magnets, and other resources. Your MC levels up as you do these tasks, alongside the main story and achievement completions. Ignoring routine tasks or skipping them slows down progress and limits your rewards.
The Tasks screen is open on the Weekly tab with mission items and rewards listed. — Hunniebun
steps
- Prioritize completing missions to earn stamina, magnets, wish cards, and shop currencies.
- Read main story chapters and complete achievements for additional rewards.
- Visit the chocolate shop and collect task and achievement rewards regularly.
Spend Red Gems Only on Limited Wishes
Free-to-play gem income is restricted. Spending your red gems on poses, accessories, or standard wishes will hold back your progress. The best use for red gems is acquiring limited wish cards. Standard wishes are obtainable from other sources, so do not use gems for them.

Spend gems only where it benefits your account
Choose limited wishes if you want the strongest cards and efficient use of currency. Avoid buying standard wishes or cosmetics with gems — free-to-play accounts need to save every gem for banners that advance progression.
Save Standard Wish Cards and Blue Shards
Standard wish cards and blue shards have more value when saved. The standard wish pool is random and does not guarantee a specific card, but you receive standard wish cards by leveling or ascending memories, through task rewards, and by shopping. Blue shards can be exchanged for specific four- or five-star cards in the shop. Using red gems to buy standard wishes wastes currency, since standard wishes are obtainable through other means.

comparison
Red Gems Spending red gems on standard wishes is inefficient and should be avoided.
Standard Wish Cards and Blue Shards Earned through progression, achievements, shop, and account milestones. These can be spent in the wish pool or saved to unlock specific cards with blue shards.
Choose One Main Love Interest Early
Free-to-play accounts benefit from focusing on a single main love interest. This minimizes material drainage and enables faster farming for resources. If you spread effort across multiple characters too early, your account’s growth will stall everywhere.
Pick one main love interest
Select your favorite love interest and commit resources and upgrades to them. Building around one character makes your farming more efficient and gives your account clear progression goals.
Build a Battle Team Around the Right Cards
To progress, you must clear battles for main story chapters. Avoid investing in three- and four-star cards for battle—focus on strong five-star cards instead. Use the card info screen to check card stats and scaling for HP, attack, or defense. If you cannot match Lactum perfectly, a brute-force team built on high-HP cards can still succeed.

steps
- Build a team with your strongest five-star cards for battles, not low-rarity options.
- Use the card info screen's stat panel to check which cards scale best.
- Make a brute-force team if you cannot match Lactum yet—HP-scaling cards work well.
Do Not Ignore Protocores or Resource Drain
Protocores are essential to a card's strength. Weak protocores can hold back even maxed cards, so level them thoughtfully. Gold is needed for enhancing protocores and ascending cards and becomes significant later. Careless stamina use and unnecessary upgrades can leave you short on materials, slowing progression.

Also worth knowing
- Gold is important late game: Gold feels plentiful early but is essential to level cards and enhance protocores, so start saving it early.
- Low-rarity cards matter for affinity: You may need to level three- and four-star cards for affinity purposes, even if they are not your main battle cards.
- One love interest keeps you focused: Picking one love interest saves materials and prevents account confusion.
