Love and Deepspace "Summer Tide Surge": Caleb's Limited 5-Star Memory Event Guide

Event Overview: Summer Tide Surge

Love and Deepspace has opened its newest limited wish event, Summer Tide Surge, headlined by a brand-new limited 5-Star Memory for Caleb: Caleb · Summer Tide Surge. Alongside the banner, the announcement shipped a fresh PV and a fully free welfare event, the Fluffy Dream Factory , so there is something to do whether or not you plan to spend.

The theme is unmistakably summer and unmistakably Caleb. The PV leans into a youthful, sunlit memory: an old basketball with your name on it, a team locker with a training schedule, and a courtside story about the glances exchanged from the stands during every game. "They say people look toward the one they care about when they think no one is watching" — that line sets the tone for a card rooted in Caleb's teenage summer and the feelings he kept hidden on the court.

For players who want to be ready the second the banner opens, a Love and Deepspace top-up through Topuplist is the fastest way to secure Deepspace Wish: Limited tickets, and you can track every active banner on the Topuplist dashboard alongside all supported titles.

Banner Schedule and Key Dates

The runtime is short, so mark it carefully. All times below are server time, exactly as published in the official announcement.

The banner and the welfare event share the same nine-day window. That overlap matters: the free event hands out cosmetics and currency you do not want to miss, while the wish event is where the limited Memory lives. Because the window is tight, decide your pull budget before August 5 rather than mid-event.

The Limited 5-Star Memory: Caleb · Summer Tide Surge

In Love and Deepspace, a Memory is the collectible card that drives both combat stats and story. Caleb · Summer Tide Surge is a limited 5-Star Memory, which carries two heavy implications players ask about most:

• During the event, its drop rate is greatly increased. This is the standard limited-rate-up behavior — the featured card is far more likely to appear than off-banner 5-Star Memories.

• After the event, it has no other acquisition method and will NOT enter the permanent wish pool, Xspace Echo. The only way to obtain Caleb · Summer Tide Surge after August 14 is a future rerun of this same wish. There is no permanent fallback.

That second point is the single most-discussed detail whenever a limited banner drops, and it is worth stating plainly: if you want this specific Memory, this banner (or its eventual rerun) is your only chance. It will not quietly appear in the standard pool later.

The Shared Double-Pity System, Explained

The announcement confirms that the Summer Tide Surge wish uses the game's double-pity mechanism, and — critically — that pity rules and cumulative counts are fully shared across all Limited Wish Pools. This is the part that confuses a lot of returning players, so here is the clean version:

1. All Limited Wish Pools share one pity system. A 5-Star Memory is guaranteed within a specific number of wishes, and the "50/50" style rule applies: if the 5-Star you pull is not the event-limited Memory, your next 5-Star is guaranteed to be an event-limited one.

1. Your pity carries over. The accumulated pity count from your last limited wish is inherited by Summer Tide Surge. Likewise, the pity you build here is fully inherited by the next limited wish event — it does not reset to zero between limited banners.

1. Cumulative wish counts also carry over for reruns. The outfit and milestone progress from the first open of a named wish is preserved, so a future rerun of Summer Tide Surge inherits your original cumulative wish count.

As the community Love and Deepspace Wiki documents, the base wish rules behind this are consistent across pools: a 5-Star Memory has a 1% base rate and is guaranteed within 70 wishes, with the rate climbing +10% per pull after the 60th, while a 4-Star is guaranteed within 10 wishes at a 7% base rate. What makes limited banners feel different is precisely this shared pity and carry-over — your progress is never wasted.

Cumulative Rewards: Summer Blessing

Beyond the Memory itself, the Summer Blessing track grants bonus rewards when your cumulative wishes in this banner reach the specified milestones. The announced rewards are:

• The exclusive outfit Blazing Court — described as the most eye-catching figure on the court in a vivid crimson silhouette.

• The universal hat Reverse Rules — "the rules say what they say; which way the brim faces is my call."

• Deepspace Wish: Limited ×20.

• The universal photo action Lingering Pause

• Memory breakthrough materials.

A few rules govern these cumulative rewards, and players frequently mix them up:

• The cumulative photo action and accessories will be listed in the in-game Lunar Shop after the event ends.

• The cumulative exclusive outfit has no other acquisition method after the event, but it will return with a future rerun of this wish, inheriting the cumulative wish count from the first open. In other words, your progress toward the outfit is never lost.

• Cumulative rewards only apply to wishes made in this event's banner — they do not count wishes spent elsewhere.

Exact pull thresholds for each milestone are shown in the in-game rules panel; the announcement confirms the reward catalog rather than a fixed number list, so check the banner screen for the precise tiers before you commit.

Free Rewards: The Fluffy Dream Factory Welfare Event

Running on the exact same schedule (Aug 5, 05:00 – Aug 14, 04:59), the Fluffy Dream Factory is a completely free active event. You do not need to wish at all to clear it.

Exclusive story. You step into a temporary store-manager life with Caleb. Together you run the "Twinkle Dream Factory" pop-up store and cast feature magic onto sun fruits and clear-sky planes. It is a light, affectionate side story that expands Caleb's summer without locking anything behind spending.

Fun gameplay. You and Caleb sort dolls to finish the pop-up store's prep work. Accumulating points through these tasks unlocks:

• The universal headwear Curly Worries .

• The chat bubble Cotton Sky Whisper .

• Black Electric Energy · Heavy .

• Happy Chocolate .

Clearing the event also unlocks Caleb's special SMS and Moments, giving you bonus relationship content at zero cost. For free-to-play players, this is the highest-priority item on the calendar — it cannot be obtained later, so treat the nine-day window as a hard deadline.

If you want the premium pass and ticket bundles to pair with the free event, a Love and Deepspace top-up through Topuplist keeps both your Limited tickets and event packs in one place, and the Topuplist store lists every supported game side by side.

Value Packs: Radiant Summer Gift & Clear Summer Gift

During the event, two discounted pack series go live: Radiant Summer Gift and Clear Summer Gift . Both let you buy Deepspace Wish: Limited and other materials at a reduced price.

The key mechanic to understand: Deepspace Wish and Deepspace Wish: Limited can both be used on the limited 5-Star Memory wish, but the Limited version is always consumed first. So if you buy a pack, those Limited tickets will be spent before any standard Deepspace Wishes you already own. Plan your pulls so the Limited tickets are used during the window they are valid.

Wish Tickets Explained: Deepspace Wish vs Limited vs Empyrean

The ticket system trips up a lot of players, so here is the plain breakdown.

The most important line for this banner: after Summer Tide Surge ends, any leftover Deepspace Wish: Limited automatically converts to Empyrean Wish. Empyrean Wish feeds the permanent pool, not limited banners — so unused Limited tickets effectively become permanent-pool currency. The practical takeaway is simple — spend your Limited tickets during the event, because their limited-banner value disappears at the deadline.

This conversion rule is officially confirmed in the announcement and mirrored on the official Love and Deepspace global site, so it is safe to plan around.

Is Summer Tide Surge Worth Pulling?

Whether this banner deserves your tickets comes down to three questions players debate most:

• Do you collect Caleb? If Caleb is your primary love interest, a limited 5-Star Memory with a unique basketball-themed story and a crimson outfit is a high-value addition, and the shared pity means your existing progress carries in.

• Are you close to a guaranteed 5-Star? Because pity is shared across limited banners, players who are near a guaranteed 5-Star from a prior limited wish get Caleb · Summer Tide Surge "for free" on the way to their next pity.

• Do you want the Blazing Court outfit? The exclusive outfit is limited-only and returns solely with a rerun. If the look matters to you, this banner (or its rerun) is the only path.

For free-to-play players, the smart move is to clear Fluffy Dream Factory for the free cosmetics and tickets, then wish only what your accumulated Limited tickets allow. For whales or Caleb mains, the short window and limited-only status make this a "pull now or wait for a rerun" decision rather than a "skip forever" one.

How to Prepare Before the Banner Opens

A little prep removes most of the event-week stress:

1. Bank your Limited tickets now. Any Deepspace Wish: Limited you already own will be spent first on this banner, so arrive with a stack ready.

1. Check your carried pity. Because all limited banners share pity, know how many pulls stand between you and a guaranteed 5-Star before August 5.

1. Clear Fluffy Dream Factory daily. The free cosmetics and Caleb SMS/Moments are time-gated to the nine-day window — no second chance.

1. Set a pull budget. Decide your stop point (e.g., "stop after the Memory, or after 150 if needed") before the hype hits.

If you would rather not ration packs during a tight anniversary-style window, a Love and Deepspace top-up through Topuplist lets you pre-stock Limited tickets and event materials in one checkout, and the Topuplist dashboard keeps every supported title's active banners visible at a glance.
