Guide to the Love and Deepspace Oracle of Stars Banner
The world of Love and Deepspace is always changing, and with every update, players get new features, opportunities—and decisions to make. The Oracle of Stars banner is one of the latest additions, and it’s already sparked quite a bit of conversation. Some players think it’s not worth the investment, while others are determined to pull every card it offers.
So, what’s the truth? This guide breaks down everything you need to know about the Love and Deepspace Oracle of Stars banner—how it works, how many diamonds you’ll need, and whether it’s actually worth your time (and money).
In this article:
What Is the Oracle of Stars Banner?
The Oracle of Stars is a limited-time banner that focuses exclusively on 4-star cards and head accessories. Unlike other banners, there are no 5-star cards in this one, which has caused some players to hesitate. But for those who love collecting, boosting character affinity, or simply trying something different, this banner is a unique opportunity.
What Makes It Unique?
- Exclusive 4-Star Cards & Accessories: These won’t appear through standard gameplay. Once the banner is gone, these items may not return for a long time—if ever.
- No 5-Star Distractions: While this might seem like a drawback, it also simplifies the pool. Every pull has a higher chance of giving you something useful if you’re aiming for those 4-stars.
- Hard Pity System for 4-Star Cards: This is a huge deal. Unlike many other gacha games (like Genshin Impact or Honkai: Star Rail), this banner has a hard cap—you’ll never be stuck pulling endlessly without results.
Diamonds: Your Most Precious Resource
Diamonds are the premium currency in Love and Deepspace, used to unlock content, participate in events, and yes—pull on banners like this one. They can be earned through gameplay, but the bulk often comes from paid purchases.
That means every pull is an investment. And since the Love and Deepspace Oracle of Stars banner requires a large number of diamonds to fully clear, knowing how much you’ll need is critical to avoid blowing your stash.
Diamond Requirements: The Math Behind the Magic
How many diamonds will it take to get all three cards? That depends on your luck. Based on player simulations and averages, here are the breakdowns:
🎯 If You Have Mid-Level Luck
- 4,300 diamonds for 1 card
- 7,400 diamonds for 2 cards
- 9,100 diamonds for all 3 cards
This is actually on par with pulling a 5-star card from a limited solo banner. For most players, this is the ideal scenario—a decent return without excessive cost.
🐌 If You’re Unlucky (Bottom 10%)
- 5,000 diamonds for 1 card
- 9,200 diamonds for 2 cards
- 12,600 diamonds for all 3 cards
This is where the cost starts to bite. If RNG isn’t on your side, you could end up spending a significant chunk of your diamond reserves—or real money.
💰 Cost in Real Currency (No First-Time Bonuses)
At a rate of ~$1.50 USD per 100 diamonds:
- 4,300 diamonds = ~$64 USD
- 12,600 diamonds = ~$189 USD
If you’re planning to buy your way through the banner, this is a serious investment. Always consider whether that fits your budget before diving in.
Understanding the Hard Pity System
Here’s the banner’s biggest advantage: a hard pity system.
- You can directly purchase a card from the store after collecting 880 dice.
- Dice are earned by pulling cards, including duplicate cards (after reaching R3) and duplicate head accessories, which give bonus dice.
- This guarantees that you won’t walk away empty-handed. If you don’t get the card through pulls, you can just buy it.
This system offers a safety net and eliminates the “infinite unlucky streak” many players fear in gacha games.
Compared to other games where 4-star character pity doesn’t exist or is soft-capped (like Genshin), this mechanic makes the Oracle of Stars far more player-friendly.
Should You Pull? Evaluating the Banner’s Value
✅ Pros:
- Guaranteed path to cards thanks to hard pity
- Exclusive collectibles that boost affinity and collection completion
- Simplified pool with no 5-star competition
- Great for completionists and collectors
❌ Cons:
- No 5-star cards, which reduces the banner’s general appeal for power-seekers
- High diamond cost, especially for unlucky players
- Better banners may be coming, and this one could eat into your future pulls

Collector’s Corner: Is It Worth It for You?
If you’re a completionist or someone who enjoys finishing every banner and collecting every card, then this is a must-pull. The items won’t be obtainable anywhere else, and completing your collection will give you extra affinity points, which can strengthen your team and give you bonus story content.
But if you’re more of a casual player, or you’re saving for a dream 5-star card in a future banner, this one may not give you the power bump you’re hoping for. The best move might be to just pick one or two cards you really love and stop there.
Statistical Notes (For the Math Nerds!)
The diamond estimates above are based on simulated pull distributions and player-reported outcomes. Mid-level luck estimates reflect average outcomes, while the lower-tier estimates reflect the 90th percentile of unluckiness (meaning only 10% of players will get hit that hard).
The system assumes a dice-per-pull mechanic, with a max of 880 dice to guarantee any card. Because duplicates generate extra dice, your total cost may be lower than the worst-case scenario if you get lucky and pull some dupes along the way.
Final Tips Before You Pull
- 🧠 Set a diamond limit before you start pulling.
- 💖 Decide your goal: one card, two cards, or a full clear?
- 💎 Track your pulls and dice to take full advantage of the pity system.
- 💸 Be aware of the real-money costs if you plan to top-up.
The Love and Deepspace Oracle of Stars banner might not be flashy, but it’s thoughtful and surprisingly strategic. For players who enjoy completing their collection and making guaranteed progress, it offers a satisfying and fair gacha experience.
