Here's a video to show you how to dash stack.

First part: dpad dash, release (see how it triggers the halo and "shing" sound?)

Second part: dpad dash, release -> basic attack chain -- slow

Third part: dpad dash, release -> basic attack chain -- quick

i cleared light orbit stage 70 today and caught xavier red-handed…literally bolting while being frozen LMAO i had to pause the fight for a sec because it looked funny

maybe he‘s just built different like that

First of all: take a breath, you're overthinking it :)

The combat and the protocores and memories aren't that complicated. Different protocores have different shapes because each stellactrum (the colors assigned to memories) has a variety.

These are two of the Sapphire stellactrum 5 star memories for the same character. Different protocores. The shapes are assigned to each memory automatically, and do not affect their power or abilities.

When it comes to decomposing and locking your protocores, honestly that's up to you.

I personally lock protocores that have attributes towards Critical rate or damage, a double attack bonus, Bonus to Ardent Oath, Damage to Weakness, or Energy charging.

I mark ones with the Trash icon that don't have anything special about them, as you can see on the left.

Enhancing a protocore increases the strength of its attributes, whatever those are. Gold (or R) protocores are the strongest/rarest and max out at 15 levels. Purple (or SR) are the mid range and max at 12 levels. The blue ones (or SSR) are the lowest and max at 9 levels.

You want to keep your memories decently leveled up. This will get harder once you're past like, chapter 4 in Under Deepspace, or once you pass the character level 50 threshold. The reason it gets harder is that's when the game really stops holding your hand.

You want to keep a good variety of stellactrum at the same level because in the Deepspace trials and the Hunter Contest, there are battles with many different or the same type of stellactrum.

Keep protocores on all of your memories, especially max rank 3-stars because those can come in handy in a pinch when you don't have any other suitable cards.

Enhance protocores when you have the resources to do so. You can do it by level or by tier by changing the option in game:

Try to keep it consistent among all your memories and you'll have an easier time battling :)

It's not too complicated and there's really no wrong way to do it. This is just what I've found out during my experience.

Rank up memories when you can. The more ranks until max, the better because the attributes of the card increase. This is why I said even max rank 3-stars can help you in a pinch. Sometimes they're even better than a no rank 4-star at times.

Newbie to Love and Deepspace. Also a newbie to games in general. I have questions; I am confused.

Protocore Questions I have (please feel free to comment if you wanna help a gal out :)

• What is enhancing a protocore? Is it like enhancing the power of the protocore so you can then use the protocore to increase the battle stats for a certain Memory?

• If I assign a protocore to a memory, will it disappear in a set period of time? Or is it infinite? Can I take it back and assign it to another memory after using it for a while?

• Should I use protocores on my four and five star memories?

• When should I enhance a protocore?

• Why would I lock protocores? (I have them all locked cause I’m scared they’ll disappear or something.) Is locking them recommended or not recommended?

• What is a core energy vs a protocore?

• When would you decompose protocores?

• What’s a secondary attribute?? If I fill up all four secondary attributes spaces, and I don’t like one, can I do something about that?

• They’re in different shapes? Why? Are certain shapes better?

• Other Question: Should I rank up a Memory when I have enough shards, or is there a particular time to rank it up to reap the most benefits?

The fact that Dr Zayne is saving people who want to live

And Dawnbreaker Zayne is mercy killing people who want to die

And both are obsessed/disturbed with each other across space and time

Really has me fucked up in a lot of ways and I'm not okay about any of this

[burgersdayoff]

choose ur fighter

[littleglutton]

Thinking about field surgeon Zayne in all-black fatigues.

Black utility pants, loose enough for comfort and ease of movement on his tall frame, yet cinched nice and snug around his trim hips by a thick belt. A plain black undershirt stretches around his wide shoulders and the tightly packed muscles of his chest, outlining every ripple and every curve of his strong back and each hard line defining the abs that you would never think of seeing beneath his typical lab coat. Heavy, lug sole combat boots add to his already intimidating height. A tactical harness clings tight around his chest, various loops and pouches keeping much needed medical supplies close at hand. His inky-black trench coat, darker than a starless sky, drapes around him like a wraith.

Suddenly, the wanderers aren't the only intimidating things out in the snow.

░ 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐓 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄: 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬

⠀⠀------------------------------------------------------------

This boss is arguably one of the most annoying ones to beat when you are trying to go lean with your stats. Here are some general strategies that you can use to maximize your Luminivore fights!

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧── .✦

Luminivore is a Boss type enemy who deals slashing melee attacks. It has 2 lock phases, one at 80% 3x HP, after which it gets an orange glow to indicate a more empowered state; another one at 30% 2x HP (the space roughly between 3rd and 4th protocore shield under its HP bar).

Luminivore is also featured in "dormant Luminivore" special stages. In these stages, after killing the first wave of mobs, he goes straight into the first lock phase.

The difficulty comes from managing the timing around the two lock phases, while also dealing with the distance Luminivore creates with its movement. The strategies outlined below show how you can deal with these issues individually.

𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐬𝐡── .✦

One way to deal with Luminivore's dash is to dash into it, using the body blocking to your advantage. I learned this strategy from fellow hunter Sene!

The first part of this clip is an example of body blocking to stop the dash completely. Your companion also helps add to the body blocking.

The second part of this clip (0:06 in the video), the body block was only able to cut down the distance by halfway - but that is still a good outcome!

𝐃𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥── .✦

Another way to deal with the dash by positioning yourself to where Luminivore is facing a nearby wall. This way, when it dashes, it will dash into the wall instead of traversing a larger distance. To maximize this strategy, learn at roughly which points in the fight Luminivore is most likely to do the dash and pre-position yourself.

Thank you to fellow hunter Beans for this strategy!

𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩── .✦

Luminivore has a tendency to backstep which makes you lose precious time closing the distance when using a melee weapon. To minimize this, attack it from the front with its back against the wall.

In this clip you'll see that it backsteps twice - once at the start, and another close to the end when it's already has its back pressed to the wall.

𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬── .✦

Get a resonance skill in before its first lock phase at 80% 3x HP. This will help with your first oath timing to make the 1:00 mark.

Time a shieldbreak right before its second lock phase at the 30% 2x HP mark (the space roughly between 3rd and 4th protocore shield under its HP bar) to delay it. This may make your second oath timing a bit rough, depending on how much oath recovery you have, and how lean you're going with your damage stats.

You can keep inflicting damage during the second lock phase. If using a ranged weapon, keep attacking from a distance. If using a melee weapon, wait until it's done screaming and its aura disappears - that's the point when you are able to approach it again.

𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬── .✦

2.0:

- First lock phase ends faster. - Second lock phase can no longer be interrupted entirely. I've seen it be successfully interrupted just once since the update; would need a larger sample size of interrupts before I can say for sure that it can still be done.

in honor of me clearing xavier‘s directional orbit stage 50 and unlocking this pose from the affinity level reward – we took this mid combat (trust)

coincidentally this was the level up quote

he fell in love with me again after he saw me kick ass, so true

[narutosidebitch]

I'm finding no joy in combat nowadays because I have been stuck in the same level for weeks no matter how much I upgrade my cards and my protocores

[qinluna]

i like love and deepspace in a final fantasy-slash-devil may cry nostalgia way where we’re dealing with a modern advanced future and the untold secrets of another world built within humanity’s eye beneath their own feet

Just started Love and Deepspace today and anybody else feels like it's the lovechild of Genshin and Tears of Themis?
