Love and Deepspace structures September as a combination of short Wish windows and long check-in tracks. The 5-star limited Wish Chenxiao Qishi and the 5-star rerun Panwang ru Wu both opened on 31 August at 05:00 and close on 7 September at 04:59. The Ten Days With You check-in, round 18, runs from 24 August to 11 September, the upgraded Secret Pact round 17 opened on 24 August and lasts until 21 October, and the claw machine rate-up ends 13 September. Three things decide how much Diamond you spend: the Wish pity and pull-count reward rules, the check-in and pact claiming rhythm, and the stat direction of your ProtoCore farms.
Love and Deepspace September event calendar: five parallel tracks
September has no single headline event. It runs five tracks in parallel, and missing any one of them costs resources directly.
Wish and rerun windows
The 5-star limited Wish Chenxiao Qishi runs from 31 August 2026 at 05:00 to 7 September at 04:59, alongside the 5-star rerun Panwang ru Wu featuring Yi Wang er Shen and Yi Wo Ji Li Ming. Both banners share the same eight-day window, which is short enough that hesitating costs the pull entirely.
Check-in and pact cycles
Ten Days With You round 18 runs 24 August 2026 at 05:00 to 11 September at 04:59, paying a 4-star Memory of Caleb: Yueyue Zhiduan for ten cumulative check-ins. The upgraded Secret Pact round 17 opened on 24 August and ends 21 October at 04:59, nearly two months long with a slower but longer reward line. The next Wish and gameplay round follows from 8 September at 05:00 to 15 September at 04:59.
Gameplay and the claw machine
The claw machine rate-up runs 31 August at 05:00 to 13 September at 04:59. Per the wiki event table, early September has Wish and gameplay running together and mid-September rolls into the next round, with no dead period in between.
Love and Deepspace Chenxiao Qishi Wish: odds and pull-count rewards
The most common way to lose value here is not failing to pull, it is misjudging when pull-count rewards expire.
5-star odds and the selection rule
Limited 5-star Wishes in Love and Deepspace generally let you raise the odds sharply on selected Memories, with past events quoting a 75 percent chance for 5-star pulls; unselected and standard Memories share the remainder. Read the in-game Wish screen for this banner's exact odds and how many Memories can be selected, and do not copy numbers from an older banner.
How pull-count rewards settle
Reaching certain cumulative pull counts grants tiered rewards, and past events included a universal veil, limited Deepspace Wish tickets, a male lead's tailored suit and a self-select copy of the featured 5-star Memory. The critical rule: pull-count rewards only apply to their own banner and do not carry forward, so clear every tier you can before the window closes on 7 September at 04:59.
Pity and rank-up interaction
Limited Wishes use a pity system, and some events used a double-pity structure. Separately, ranking a 5-star Memory up to rank one grants the matching male lead's alternate-colour event suit, which is the real reason many hunters consider one more pull. If you only want the base Memory, step away once you have it.
Love and Deepspace Ten Days With You round 18: ten check-ins for a 4-star
Ten Days With You is the best-value free track in the month, because it pays a Memory rather than materials.
Reward structure and how to finish it
Round 18 runs 24 August 2026 at 05:00 to 11 September at 04:59, and ten cumulative check-ins grant the 4-star Memory Caleb: Yueyue Zhiduan. Note that it counts cumulative, not consecutive, logins, so a missed day does not break the total as long as you reach ten before the window closes.
Handling overlaps and the deadline
The 11 September 04:59 cutoff is easy to lose track of because the Wish banners close four days earlier on 7 September. Treat 7 September as the first checkpoint for Wish decisions, then confirm you have hit ten check-ins before 10 September so daily maintenance never eats the last day.
Love and Deepspace Secret Pact round 17: the two-month reward line
The Secret Pact is September's only track that runs into late October, so treat it as daily maintenance rather than a sprint.
Pact task rhythm
The upgraded Secret Pact round 17 started after the 24 August 2026 update and ends 21 October at 04:59, a window of nearly two months. It is designed to be done a little each day, and cramming at the end is painful, so push progress past a safe line during September and leave October as buffer.
The two 4-star Memories inside
Round 17 includes the 4-star Memories Shai Ri Chang and Lin Jie Dian. In combat, 4-star Memories fill slots and bridge stat gaps rather than carrying damage, so do not redirect your main build around the pact; treat them as free collection and material income.
Love and Deepspace ProtoCores and combat: Weakened stacks and Shatter timing
Combat strength in Love and Deepspace is not just Memory star rank; ProtoCore stats and Shatter timing decide outcomes.
ProtoCore slots and panel stats
ProtoCore building has two halves: which slot each ProtoCore occupies, and the panel stats it delivers. The general approach is to lock the slot layout on your main combat Memories first, then optimise stats slot by slot. Exact stat thresholds and the full ProtoCore index live in game.
Teaming for the high-tier contest
In high-tier three-star challenges, the winning move is not stacking your highest star Memories but making the team's Weakened stacking and Shatter damage form a closed loop. Community experience points to matched flower and level breakpoints, plus attention to the dress-up requirements on second-generation characters, so you avoid the trap of having the stars but not the mechanics.
Damage overflow and Shatter handling
Damage overflow is manageable through play: stack the Weakened state first, then choose ProtoCore timing so Shatter lands inside the Weakened window, which multiplies the payoff. Shielded enemies follow the same logic in reverse: break the shield first and never dump your burst while the shield still stands.
Love and Deepspace September resource planning: Diamonds and Wish tickets
The allocation question in September is which track delivers something irreplaceable.
| Priority | Target | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ten Days With You round 18 | A free 4-star Memory at zero cost |
| 2 | Chenxiao Qishi pull-count tiers | Pull-count rewards only apply to their own banner |
| 3 | Secret Pact round 17 | Long window, daily progress, two 4-star Memories |
| 4 | Panwang ru Wu rerun | Patch a gap rather than pull by default |
| 5 | Claw machine and cosmetic content | No combat impact, handle last |
Free-to-play versus light spender
Free-to-play players should clear every free line first: ten check-ins, daily pact progress, and whatever pull-count tiers free Wish tickets reach. Light spenders have to judge whether pushing to the final pull-count tier is worth it; if a few more pulls secure the universal veil or a self-select 5-star, topping up usually beats saving for next month.
Ticket expiry warning
Limited Deepspace Wish tickets are typically banner-bound and expire. September's Wish windows are dense, running 31 August to 7 September and then 8 September to 15 September, so spend tickets inside the banner that issued them instead of holding them.
Love and Deepspace September FAQ
Q: When does the September limited Wish end in Love and Deepspace?
A: Both Chenxiao Qishi and the Panwang ru Wu rerun run from 31 August 2026 at 05:00 to 7 September at 04:59, with the next Wish and gameplay round opening 8 September at 05:00 until 15 September at 04:59.
Q: Do pull-count rewards carry over between banners?
A: No. Pull-count rewards apply only to their own banner and do not accumulate or carry forward, so claim every tier inside the current window.
Q: How do I get the 4-star Memory from Ten Days With You round 18?
A: Log in on ten cumulative days between 24 August 2026 at 05:00 and 11 September at 04:59 to claim the 4-star Memory Caleb: Yueyue Zhiduan; missed days do not break the total.
Q: When does Secret Pact round 17 end?
A: It opened after the 24 August 2026 update and runs to 21 October at 04:59, close to two months, and includes the 4-star Memories Shai Ri Chang and Lin Jie Dian.
Q: What should I do if my star ranks are high but I still fail high-tier challenges?
A: Check ProtoCore slots and panel stats first, then rebuild the team so Weakened stacking and Shatter damage form a loop, stacking Weakened before firing Shatter rather than forcing higher star ranks.

Action checklist
- Decide your Wish investment before 7 September 04:59 and claim every pull-count reward tier on the current banner.
- Confirm ten cumulative check-ins for Ten Days With You round 18 before 10 September, ahead of the 11 September cutoff.
- Progress the Secret Pact round 17 daily and push past a safe line during September to leave October as buffer.
- Lock ProtoCore slots on your main combat Memories, then optimise stats, and always stack Weakened before firing Shatter.
- Spend limited Wish tickets inside their own banner and leave cosmetics and the claw machine for last.

- Palworld v1.0.5 Tower Boss Order Guide: Elements, Counters and Squad Choices
Palworld's v1.0.5 patch (2026-09-15) only fixed texture loading, so what actually shapes tower runs is the 1.0 release itself: the boss count expanded from 7 towers in early access to 9, the level curve runs from 10 all the way to 80, and the new Sunreach sky islands and World Tree finale sit at the end of it . Clearing towers is less about raw investment than about picking Pals that exploit each boss's element.
- Reverse: 1999 Version 4.0.0 Second Half Guide: Drake, the October 15 Banner Swap and Free Rewards
Reverse: 1999 has moved into the second half of version 4.0.0, and the banners swap on October 15: Drake arrives as a new standard six-star Beast character, while a pick-your-own rate-up runs with Quniang, Liangyue, Nana, Lucy and Nodica selectable . The first half's limited SP Crossbow banner closes at the same point, so October 15 is a clean dividing line.
- Love and Deepspace Xavier Birthday Guide: Wish Upon This Moment Banner Window
Love and Deepspace's Xavier birthday event is live, and the birthday five-star Memory is obtainable from 2026-10-11 at 05:00 to 2026-10-18 at 04:59 (source: official birthday calendar and birthday Memory announcement, 2026-10-08). The window is only seven days and it is a single-character banner rather than a pooled one, so the budget is easier to plan, provided you count your tickets and diamonds before you start pulling. The single target is the main advantage: there is no risk of boosting the wrong Memory and no need to compare three candidates.
- Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 Planar Fissure Guide: Double Relic Drops and Immersifier Spending
Honkai: Star Rail's 4.6 Planar Fissure event is live, and Planar Ornaments drop double rewards for the duration . The doubled runs are limited and do not reset during the event, so the goal is not farming more but spending the limited runs on the two worlds your roster actually needs.
- Genshin Impact 7.1 Imaginarium Theater Guide: Ice, Hydro and Anemo Stacking
The October 2026 Imaginarium Theater rotation locks the playable elements to Ice, Hydro and Anemo, and its core mechanic grants one stack of Frost Benediction whenever your party triggers Swirl, with each stack adding 80% Swirl damage and 12% crit damage up to 3 stacks . So the rotation is not about raw damage but about Swirl frequency, getting the blessing to full stacks as fast as possible.
- Wuthering Waves 3.7 Tower of Adversity Lineup Guide: Mid Tower Splits and Side Tower Stamina
The Wuthering Waves 3.7 Tower of Adversity refreshed on October 13, and this rotation cuts Havoc resistance on the left tower's fourth floor, which clears the way for Havoc teams. The mid tower remains the hardest part of the cycle, with Sunmoon, Cartethyia and Phrolova squads still carrying it, Zhanfei usable, and Galbrena needing Qiuyuan to reach full shape. If you only need the rewards, the side towers auto-clear and your stamina belongs to the mid tower.
- Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Shiyu Defense Guide: Three Teams and the October 2 Rotation
Zenless Zone Zero's October 2 Shiyu Defense rotation runs through October 16 and ends in a three-room score check where each room caps at 25,000 points for an S rank and the total reaches 100,000 (source: in-game Shiyu Defense interface plus creator testing, 2026-10-02). If you only want the Polychrome, getting all three rooms to S is enough, because the reward gate is the S rank and not the total.
