Love And Deepspace features a combat system that is more intricate than it seems at first. You’ll need to invest a lot of resources in your combat teams to ensure they stay competitive. But what do you do when your combat team is equipped with fully ranked memories and max-level SSR Protocores?
This is where Awakening comes into play. Awakening occurs when you fully level up your memories to 80, the maximum level. This process gives your memories a substantial final stat boost once you hit the level cap. Additionally, by Awakening a memory, you gain increased Affinity with that specific character.
What Is Awakening?
Awakening is the final enhancement for your memories. To initiate an Awakening, you must have fully leveled the memory using Bottles of Wishes and Ascension Crystals.
While you do not need to have completely ranked your memory before Awakening, memories that are both fully ranked and Awakened will boast stronger stats compared to those that are only Awakened.
You can level up memories using Bottles of Wishes to gain experience points. For every ten levels, you will require Ascension Crystals to progress to the next set of ten levels. As the levels increase, you’ll need not only more Ascension Crystals but also rarer types.
When you Awaken a five-star memory, you will earn 600 Affinity points with that character.
Where to Find Bottles of Wishes
Bottles of Wishes are among the most accessible resources in the game. You can acquire them by purchasing them from various exchange shops in the store menu, as rewards for Daily Tasks, Events, Achievements, through combat stage drops, or via Bounty Hunts.
The most effective way to gather Bottles of Wishes is through Bounty Hunts. Heartbreaker drops Bottles of Wishes as combat stage rewards, and once you complete its Bounty Hunt levels, you can sweep them for even more rewards.
There are four types of Bottles of Wishes: Bottle of Wishes: N, Bottle of Wishes: R, Bottle of Wishes: SR, and Bottle of Wishes: SSR. Each subsequent type offers a greater experience boost than the last.
Where to Find Ascension Crystals
You can acquire Ascension Crystals through Ascension Crystal Boxes and as rewards in Bounty Hunts.
Three Bounty Hunt stages provide Ascension Crystals: Pumpkin Magus, Lemonette, and Snoozer. Pumpkin Magus drops Ruby and Sapphire Ascension Crystals; Lemonette gives Amber and Emerald types, while Snoozer drops Pearl and Violet types.
Ascension Crystal Boxes contain one Ascension Crystal each. The type of Ascension Crystal you receive is determined only when you open the box. You can choose which type and how many Ascension Crystals of that type you want to open.
There are three rarities for Ascension Crystals: N, R, and SSR. To reach level 80, you’ll need all three types.
When Can You Awaken Memories?
You can Awaken memories once you have fully leveled them to level 80 using Bottles of Wishes and Ascension Crystals. Upon reaching this level cap, you will have one final requirement for Ascension Crystals along with an Awakening Heart.
You must gather each type of Ascension Crystal along with an Awakening Heart of the appropriate rarity corresponding to your memory’s rarity. Five-star (SSR) memories require one Awakening Heart: SSR, while four-star memories need one Awakening Heart: SR.
You only need a single Awakening Heart to Awaken a memory.
How to Obtain Awakening Hearts
Awakening Hearts are among the rarest materials in the game, and non-paying players may find it especially challenging to acquire them.
The best method to earn Awakening Hearts is to purchase the Heartfelt Promise or Heartfelt Vow from the Seasonal Promise. Every season, you can obtain Awakening Heart: SSR and Awakening Heart: SR through the Seasonal Promise, but this typically requires a monetary investment for the Heartfelt upgrade packs.
The second way to acquire Awakening Hearts is through events and their shops. Certain events offer Awakening Hearts as rewards, but usually, you would need to buy them from the event shop using event currency.
Generally, event shops provide only Awakening Heart: SR, meaning obtaining Awakening Hearts for the more powerful five-star memories typically relies on the Seasonal Promise.
The good news is that event shops do not require real-world money for Awakening Hearts. Completing daily event tasks allows you to earn event currency to exchange in the shop.
