Love and Deepspace Po Zhen Zi Event Guide: Xavier's Crimson Sky War God, Masked Radiance & Masked Dissolution, Pity, and Free Rewards

Love and Deepspace players preparing for Xavier's Po Zhen Zi limited event can stock up on Diamonds with a quick Love and Deepspace top-up through the official Topuplist storefront ahead of the August 31 deadline. The Po Zhen Zi series event is one of the most content-packed updates Xavier has received, headlining a brand-new companion identity, a limited 5-star Memory pair, a fully free welfare track, and a generous cumulative-wish reward structure that lets dedicated Hunters secure both headline Memories without the usual solo-banner coin-flip risk.

Po Zhen Zi Event Overview

The Po Zhen Zi event goes live after the August 17 update and runs until August 31 at 04:59 server time, with the Skyvault Afar exchange shop staying open slightly longer until September 1 at 04:59. At its center is Xavier — the calm, sword-wielding Deepspace Hunter with a hidden past as a prince of the planet Philos — and a darker, battle-scarred chapter of his lore that the community has been waiting to see expanded.

Unlike a standard multi-banner, Po Zhen Zi is a focused Xavier spotlight. The headline draws are two limited 5-star Memories, a new companion identity called Crimson Sky War God, and a Myth story titled A Thought Across that unlocks the moment you obtain either of the two event Memories. The event also ships a reworked combat layer, exclusive battle outfits, and a free rewards track that hands out two 4-star Memories and 500 Diamonds to anyone who simply plays through it.

Event Dates and How to Access

You access the Limited Wish from the standard Wish menu once the update lands, and the Skyvault Afar sub-events from the event hub. No special unlock is required beyond logging in after the patch.

What Makes Po Zhen Zi Different From Past Events

The detail fans are discussing most on community hubs such as the Love and Deepspace wiki and r/LoveAndDeepspace is that the Myth "A Thought Across" unlocks without any upgrade requirement. In older Myth events you typically had to raise the associated Memories before the story opened. Here, obtaining either Masked Radiance or Masked Dissolution immediately grants the full Myth. That single change removes a major resource wall and is widely being called one of the friendliest Myth releases the game has shipped.

The second talking point is the Martial God's Descent mechanic, which genuinely alters how you fight rather than being a cosmetic reskin. Combined with the no-upgrade Myth unlock and the 150-wish guarantee for both limited 5-stars, Po Zhen Zi is being positioned by players as a high-value, low-punishment banner.

Xavier's Crimson Sky War God — The New Companion Identity

Collecting both Xavier: Masked Radiance and Xavier: Masked Dissolution unlocks Xavier's new companion identity, Crimson Sky War God. In Love and Deepspace, a companion identity is more than a costume: it changes how Xavier fights at your side, adds new active skills, and opens a distinct combat fantasy rooted in his lore.

The Crimson Sky War God identity draws on a 300-year-old legend. Three centuries before the present day, a general of the Crimson Sky defended the people with lone courage, ascended as a War God, and his name is still sung. Yet one thought of his remained unfinished, and a "soul guide" lingered beneath an ancient tree — waiting to lead one person out of fate. The Myth "A Thought Across" tells that story: a general who swore he would let the person he loves simply live out a full life, neither becoming a god nor falling to darkness, and finally return to peace.

The Legend Behind Crimson Sky (A Thought Across)

The A Thought Across Myth is told from Xavier's perspective and revisits the Crimson Sky General incarnation. You do not need to build or rank the event Memories to read it — owning either one of the pair is enough. That makes the narrative accessible to free-to-play Hunters who may only pull one of the two cards, which is a meaningful shift from prior Myth events where the story gate was tied to progression.

Community readers have noted that the tone is heavier and more personal than the sweeping multi-banner romance of earlier arcs, leaning into Xavier's "edgier" warrior past. For players who enjoy the lore as much as the cards, this is a strong reason to engage with the event even on a tight budget.

Martial God's Descent Combat Mechanic

The signature combat addition is Martial God's Descent. When you activate it, Xavier dons the Crimson Sky mask and his warrior spirit merges with yours — you command him and are shielded by him, fighting through his body and with his hands. Your active skills charge the Crimson Sky mask's energy; once it is full, you can release Martial God's Descent, a burst that drives blazing energy into the enemy formation with devastating sword strikes.

This is the first time a Xavier companion has introduced a charge-and-release combat loop of this kind, and early discussion frames it as a genuine refresh to how battles feel rather than a stat bump. If you enjoy the action combat layer of Love and Deepspace, the Crimson Sky War God identity is the core reason to invest in this event.

The Limited 5-Star Memory Pair — Masked Radiance & Masked Dissolution

The Po Zhen Zi Limited Wish features two limited 5-star Memories that together form Xavier's Crimson Sky set:

Both cards are event-limited. Once the banner closes, they have no further acquisition method and will not enter the permanent Xspace Echo pool. That permanence rule is the single most important FOMO driver of the event: if you skip Po Zhen Zi, there is no guaranteed rerun window, and the Crimson Sky War God identity cannot be completed later without the pair.

Memory Cards and Battle Outfits

Collecting both Masked Radiance and Masked Dissolution also unlocks Xavier's new battle outfit set, Blazing Renown. Push each of the two Memories to Rank 2 and you additionally unlock the special-colored battle outfit Molten Gold First Light. The base outfit set includes not just the clothing, hair, and face accessories, but a brand-new back ornament — the "Crimson Sky Wildfire" — that completes the War God silhouette.

The protagonist ("MC") also receives matching battle outfits during the event. From the August 17 update until August 31 at 04:59, buying the two MC battle outfits as a bundle carries a stacked discount for just 680 Diamonds. Individual pieces (clothing, hairstyles, accessories) from the Crimson Sky War God outfit set can be mixed and matched freely, which the community has praised for giving photo-mode creators more flexibility.

Po Zhen Zi Limited Wish Banner — Pity, Rates, and Value

The Po Zhen Zi Limited Wish follows the game's standard limited-banner math, which the Love and Deepspace wiki documents in detail on its Wish page covering gacha and pity. The practical numbers players care about: a 5-star base rate of 1% (rising to 2.1% on pity), a hard pity at 70 Wishes, soft pity beginning around Wish 60, a 4-star every 10 pulls, and a solo-banner 50/50 where the first 5-star has a 50% chance to be featured — lose the 50/50 and the next 5-star is guaranteed featured, for a worst case of 140 Wishes.

What makes Po Zhen Zi special is not the base rate but the War God's Blessing milestone track layered on top, which effectively caps the cost of obtaining both limited 5-stars far below the worst-case 140-each scenario.

Cumulative Wish Rewards (War God's Blessing)

The War God's Blessing track rewards cumulative event Wishes with the following highlights:

The headline math: at 150 cumulative event Wishes you can simply choose the second limited 5-star, meaning a maximum of 150 Wishes secures both headline Memories and therefore the Crimson Sky War God identity. Reaching 175 and 200 Wishes then drops a full set of max-level radiant Core: Alpha and Core: Beta protocores, letting you immediately power up the new companion's combat without a separate grind.

The every-10-pull Deepspace Wish: Limited refund (active up to the 100th Wish) softens the early spending and is frequently cited by players as one of the better value tracks of the year. Note that these milestone rewards apply only to this event's Wish pool.

The Dual Pity System

Po Zhen Zi uses the game's dual pity structure, and the rules are worth understanding before you commit Diamonds:

• Pity rules and cumulative counts are fully shared across all limited Wishes.

• The pity you built on the previous limited banner carries into Po Zhen Zi.

• The pity you build during Po Zhen Zi carries forward to the next limited banner.

• If you pull an event-limited 5-star, the next two consecutive event-limited 5-stars you obtain are guaranteed to be different from each other.

In plain terms, this means players who came in hot off a prior limited banner may already be sitting on a guaranteed or near-guaranteed featured 5-star, lowering the real cost of completing the Crimson Sky pair. It also rewards planning: if you know a must-pull banner is coming next, you can let Po Zhen Zi's pity carry rather than "wasting" it.

Skyvault Afar — The Free Rewards Event

The Skyvault Afar welfare event runs alongside the Limited Wish (August 17 – August 31, shop until September 1) and is fully clearable without spending a single Diamond. It is split into three parts, and smart players are clearing it before opening their wallets.

Tracing Upstream (Free 4-Star Memory + 500 Diamonds)

In Tracing Upstream, you explore a map with Xavier, visiting the General's Shrine to recover the War God's power. You experience exclusive story beats, unlock small side stories with him, and resolve events along the way. Clearing the full exploration freely grants the limited 4-star Memory Xavier: Beacon Gold Halberd plus 500 Diamonds — enough, once combined with the event's other free pulls, to take several shots at the limited banner at no cost.

Companion Preview (Free 4-Star Memory)

Companion Preview drops you into a fixed-formation preview stage where you fight alongside the new Crimson Sky War God identity itself. Your first clear freely awards the limited 4-star Memory Xavier: Beacon Shared Sky. Both Beacon 4-star Memories enter Stellar Navigation at the first version update after the event, so they remain obtainable later through the galaxy survey — a rare case of event 4-stars not being hard-locked.

Exchange Shop (Changle Jade Button Rewards)

By completing Skyvault Afar tasks you collect the event currency Changle Jade Button, which you spend in the Exchange Shop on the limited 3-star Memory Xavier: Autumn Caress, 10 Deepspace Wish: Limited tickets, 3 photo poses, and other assorted gifts. Because the shop stays open until September 1, you have a small buffer after the banner closes to finish spending currency you already earned.

Stratosphere & Yan'an Gift Packs

During the event, two value pack lines — the Stratosphere Gift and the Yan'an Gift series — go on sale, offering Deepspace Wish: Limited tickets and upgrade materials at steep discounts, with some bundles reaching as low as 10% off (a 1-discount tier). These packs are the in-game top-up route for players who want to accelerate their Wish count toward the 150 milestone.

How to Plan Your Pulls Before the Banner Closes

If your Diamond stock is running low, a reliable Love and Deepspace top-up through Topuplist keeps you ready for the 150-Wish milestone. The community consensus for Po Zhen Zi is straightforward:

• Free-to-play path: Clear Skyvault Afar fully. The 500 Diamonds plus 10 Deepspace Wish: Limited from the Exchange Shop, plus the every-10-pull refunds, give you meaningful free attempts at the banner. You will not guarantee both 5-stars for free, but you can reasonably land one.

• One-card players: If you only want the Crimson Sky War God identity later, note you need both Masked memories — so a single pull is not enough to complete the companion. Budget for the pair.

• Completionists: The 150-Wish select-one guarantee plus the 175/200 Core sets make this the most efficient Xavier banner for building the companion's combat power in one go.

• Pity planners: Check your carried limited pity before spending. Incoming guaranteed or near-guaranteed status directly cuts your real cost.

Game8's event coverage and the fan wiki both note that Po Zhen Zi offers more raw content than many prior events, and the no-upgrade Myth unlock is the standout quality-of-life win. Treat the August 31 cutoff as hard: after it, the two 5-star Memories are gone from standard acquisition.

Ready to chase both Masked memories before time runs out? Secure your Diamonds with a Love and Deepspace top-up via Topuplist and aim for the 150-Wish mark to lock in the Crimson Sky War God identity and its radiant Core sets.

FAQ

When does the Love and Deepspace Po Zhen Zi event start and end?
The event launches after the August 17 update and the Po Zhen Zi Limited Wish plus the Skyvault Afar event run until August 31 at 04:59 server time. The Skyvault Afar exchange shop stays open until September 1 at 04:59.

How do I unlock Xavier's Crimson Sky War God companion identity?
Collect both limited 5-star Memories — Xavier: Masked Radiance and Xavier: Masked Dissolution — from the Po Zhen Zi Limited Wish. Owning the pair unlocks the Crimson Sky War God companion identity and its battle outfits.

Do I need to upgrade the Memories to read the A Thought Across Myth?
No. Obtaining either Masked Radiance or Masked Dissolution immediately unlocks the full A Thought Across Myth with no upgrade requirement, which is a change from older Myth events.

How many Wishes does it take to get both limited 5-star Memories?
The War God's Blessing track lets you select one of the two at 150 cumulative event Wishes, so a maximum of 150 Wishes secures both headline Memories and the companion identity. Built-up limited pity from a prior banner can lower that further.

Are the Po Zhen Zi 5-star Memories added to the permanent pool later?
No. After the event ends, both limited 5-star Memories have no acquisition method and will not enter the permanent Xspace Echo pool. The two Beacon 4-star Memories, however, join Stellar Navigation at the next version update.

Where can I top up Diamonds for the Po Zhen Zi banner?
You can fund your pulls through the in-game Stratosphere and Yan'an Gift packs, or top up Diamonds any time with a Love and Deepspace top-up at Topuplist before the August 31 deadline.
