The current Love and Deepspace banner is Po Zhen Zi, a Rafayel Myth Wish running from August 17 to August 31. Its featured 5-Star Solar Memories are Rafayel: Masked Radiance and Rafayel: Masked Dissolution, which together unlock Rafayel: Vermilion Martial God. No banner scheduled after Po Zhen Zi has been confirmed yet, so players planning their Diamonds should separate announced Wish Pools from speculation about what may arrive next.
The 2026 schedule has included far more than standard solo rate-ups. New Myth pairs, birthday Memories, multi-character banners, reruns, and special selectable Wish Pools have all appeared, with some reruns running alongside another active banner. The timeline below keeps those Wish Pools together in one place while leaving out unrelated login events, minigames, and free-Memory events that do not function as banners.
What Is the Current Love and Deepspace Banner?
Po Zhen Zi is the active limited Wish Pool as of August 20, 2026. It features Rafayel's 5-Star Solar pair, Masked Radiance and Masked Dissolution, and runs from August 17 to August 31. Obtaining both Memories unlocks the Vermilion Martial God Companion, while the associated Myth story is A Thought Across.
Po Zhen Zi also has a banner-specific milestone system for players chasing the complete pair. Up to 150 Wishes can secure both event-limited 5-Star Memories, while further milestones at 175 and 200 Wishes provide max-level SSR Protocore sets. This makes the banner easier to plan around than a normal single-Memory rate-up if the goal is specifically to unlock Vermilion Martial God rather than stop after the first featured 5-Star.
The accompanying Skyvault Afar content should not be confused with the Wish Pool itself. Its rewards include the 4-Star Solar pair Rafayel: Skyflame Reach and Rafayel: Skyflame Expanse, the 3-Star Memory Rafayel: Autumn Caress, up to 10 Deepspace Wish: Limited, 500 Diamonds, and other event rewards. Those rewards matter for anyone pulling on Po Zhen Zi, but Skyvault Afar belongs to the event side of the update rather than the banner history table.
What Is the Next Love and Deepspace Banner?
The next Love and Deepspace banner after Po Zhen Zi is not confirmed as of August 20, 2026. Po Zhen Zi ends on August 31, so any banner listed beyond that date should still be treated as unconfirmed until a new Wish Pool schedule is announced. This distinction matters for players deciding whether to finish the Rafayel Myth pair now or preserve Diamonds for September.
Zayne's birthday falls on September 5, which naturally makes the beginning of September an important period to watch. Previous 2026 birthdays for Rafayel, Sylus, and Caleb have each received dedicated Wish content, but that pattern alone does not confirm the name, Memory, or dates of a 2026 Zayne birthday banner. The safest approach is to keep the next-banner field marked as Not Yet Announced until the actual Wish information is published.
Love and Deepspace Banner Schedule 2026
The schedule below is designed as a quick-reference timeline rather than a full Memory database. It keeps only the information needed to identify when a banner ran, which love interest it focused on, what kind of Wish Pool it was, and whether it is still active. Detailed Memory names and the main features of each banner are covered separately below in reverse chronological order.

| Dec 31, 2025–Jan 21, 2026 | Throne of Eros | Xavier / Zayne / Rafayel / Sylus / Caleb | Multi Limited | Ended |
Several periods had more than one Wish Pool available at the same time, so the date ranges above intentionally overlap. Rafayel's Duskbright Steps shared its March 1–8 window with the Heartbound Wish birthday rerun, while Sylus had Rainlit Night and Where Hearts Live Rerun available together in April. Once Upon a Frame also overlapped with Dawn's Embrace Rerun near the end of June, and Radiant Fantasia ran alongside the Wander In Wonder rerun in July.
All Love and Deepspace 2026 Banners
Below is a closer look at every Wish Pool in the 2026 schedule, ordered from the newest banner to the oldest. These short entries keep the main table compact while preserving the featured Memory names and other details players may want when checking past releases or planning around possible reruns.
Po Zhen Zi — August 17–31
Po Zhen Zi is Rafayel's current Myth Wish and features the 5-Star Solar Memories Rafayel: Masked Radiance and Rafayel: Masked Dissolution. Completing the pair unlocks the Vermilion Martial God Companion and the Myth story A Thought Across. Players specifically aiming for the full Myth pair can use the banner's milestone system, which can secure both featured Memories within 150 Wishes.
Summer Surge — August 5–14
Summer Surge was Caleb's solo limited Wish immediately before Po Zhen Zi. The banner featured the 5-Star Memory Caleb: Summer Surge and ran from August 5 through August 14. Because it centered on one featured Memory rather than a Myth pair or multi-character lineup, its target was much more straightforward for players saving specifically for Caleb.
Radiant Fantasia — July 9–24
Radiant Fantasia was a special limited-time Wish Pool rather than a standard new limited-Memory banner. Players could select five permanent 5-Star Memories to form the pool's targeted 5-Star group, and the event used Empyrean Wishes. Its separate selection and milestone structure makes it better treated as a Special Wish in the annual schedule instead of grouping it with normal solo or multi-character limited banners.
Wander In Wonder Rerun — July 9–17
Wander In Wonder returned with four limited 5-Star Memories: Xavier: Floral Blessing, Zayne: Moonlit Dream, Rafayel: Gem Affection, and Sylus: Grassland Romance. The rerun ran from July 9 to July 17 and overlapped with Radiant Fantasia. That gave players a choice between returning limited Memories and the separate permanent-Memory selection pool during the same period.
Edge of Continuum Rerun — July 2–9
Edge of Continuum brought back Zayne's Myth pair, Diviner's Hymn and Diviner's Stillness. The two Solar Memories are tied to the God of Annihilation Companion, so this rerun was especially relevant to players who had missed part or all of the pair previously. It ran for one week from July 2 through July 9.
Dawn's Embrace Rerun — June 25–July 2
Dawn's Embrace Rerun returned with the 5-Star Memory Rafayel: Private Trip. It ran from June 25 to July 2, overlapping with the final part of Once Upon a Frame. Unlike the larger five-character banner available at the same time, Dawn's Embrace offered a focused rerun option for players specifically targeting Rafayel's returning Memory.
Once Upon a Frame — June 17–July 2
Once Upon a Frame was a five-character limited banner featuring Xavier: Runaway Hearts, Zayne: Dawn and Devotion, Rafayel: Sunset on Canvas, Sylus: Finale Undone, and Caleb: Up Close. It ran from June 17 through July 2 and gave all five love interests a featured 5-Star Memory in the same Wish period. The size of the lineup made target planning more important for players who only wanted one or two of the available cards.
Your Skyblue — June 8–15
Your Skyblue was Caleb's 2026 birthday Wish and featured the 5-Star Memory Caleb: Your Skyblue. The banner ran from June 8 through June 15. As a birthday release, it focused on a single featured Memory rather than the broader multi-character format that followed later in June.
Entwined Shadows Rerun — May 31–June 8
Entwined Shadows Rerun returned three limited 5-Star Memories: Xavier: 21 Days, Zayne: Snowy Serenity, and Rafayel: Floral Promise. The rerun covered three love interests rather than focusing on a single character. It ran from May 31 through June 8, immediately before Caleb's Your Skyblue birthday Wish.
Kitten Included — May 22–31
Kitten Included was a Sylus solo limited Wish featuring the 5-Star Memory Sylus: Kitten Included. It ran from May 22 to May 31, following the Fallen Crown Myth rerun. The single-Memory structure made it a much narrower target than the five-character Lingering Lust banner that had appeared earlier in the month.
Fallen Crown Rerun — May 15–22
Fallen Crown Rerun brought back Xavier's Myth Solar pair, Nightvow Mooncurse and Nightvow Requiem. The pair is tied to the King of Darknight Companion, giving the rerun added value for players interested in combat progression as well as Memory collection. It ran from May 15 through May 22.
Lingering Lust — April 30–May 15
Lingering Lust was another five-character limited banner, featuring Xavier: Sunken Glow, Zayne: Silent Underflow, Rafayel: Rippling Blossoms, Sylus: Darkbound Souls, and Caleb: Vinesurge Instinct. It ran from April 30 through May 15. With five featured Memories available in one period, players needed a clear target before committing a large Diamond reserve.
Submerged Eclipse Rerun — April 21–28
Submerged Eclipse Rerun returned Rafayel's Myth Memories Mistsea Descent and Mistsea Lament. The banner ran from April 21 to April 28 and was one of several Myth reruns appearing throughout 2026. Because Myth banners revolve around completing a two-Memory Solar pair, players missing only one half had a different goal from those starting the set from scratch.
Rainlit Night — April 13–20
Rainlit Night was Sylus's 2026 birthday Wish and featured the 5-Star Memory Sylus: Rainlit Night. It ran from April 13 through April 20. The birthday banner was available at the same time as the Where Hearts Live rerun, giving Sylus-focused players both a new Memory and a returning birthday option during the same week.
Where Hearts Live Rerun — April 13–20
Where Hearts Live Rerun returned the 5-Star Memory Sylus: Where Hearts Live. Its April 13–20 schedule matched Rainlit Night, so the two Sylus-focused Wish Pools were active together. This is a useful example of why reruns need their own entries instead of being hidden under the headline birthday banner.
Heating Up Rerun — April 6–13
Heating Up Rerun returned the 5-Star Memory Xavier: Faint Sensation. The Wish Pool ran from April 6 through April 13 and used a focused solo-rerun format. Its placement between Ghosts' Final March and the Sylus birthday period also shows how returning Memories can fill shorter windows between larger banner releases.
Ghosts' Final March — March 28–April 11
Ghosts' Final March introduced Caleb's 5-Star Solar Memories Nether Yearning and Nether Parting. Completing the Myth pair is tied to the Netherlord Companion, making the release more significant than a standard single-Memory banner for players focused on battle content. The Wish ran from March 28 through April 11.
Lingering Gaze Rerun — March 19–27
Lingering Gaze Rerun returned Xavier: Romantic Afternoon, Zayne: Heart Within Reach, and Rafayel: Whispers. The three-character rerun ran from March 19 through March 27. Unlike a solo rerun, it gave players several returning targets at once, so resource planning depended heavily on which love interest or Memory they were actually chasing.
Tranquil Moments — March 9–18
Tranquil Moments was a Xavier solo limited Wish featuring the 5-Star Memory Xavier: Tranquil Moments. It ran from March 9 through March 18, following Rafayel's birthday period. The banner used a straightforward single-feature format before the multi-character Lingering Gaze rerun arrived on March 19.
Heartbound Wish — March 1–8
Heartbound Wish returned Rafayel birthday Memories Boundless Seas and Unforgettable Adventure. It ran from March 1 through March 8 alongside the new Duskbright Steps birthday Wish. Keeping it as a separate rerun entry makes it clear that players had access to both returning and newly released Rafayel birthday Memories during the same period.
Duskbright Steps — March 1–8
Duskbright Steps was Rafayel's 2026 birthday banner and featured the 5-Star Memory Rafayel: Duskbright Steps. It ran from March 1 to March 8 and shared its schedule with Heartbound Wish. The overlap gave Rafayel-focused players a choice between the new birthday Memory and returning birthday cards.
Mortality's Tenderness — February 10–27
Mortality's Tenderness was a five-character limited Wish featuring Xavier: Blades with Blossoms, Zayne: Entwined Kites, Rafayel: Carved Gemheart, Sylus: Shared Lanterns, and Caleb: Clearday Return. The banner ran from February 10 through February 27. Like the other large multi-character releases of 2026, it offered a broad set of limited targets but could become expensive for players trying to collect several of them.
Fallen Cosmos Rerun — February 2–9
Fallen Cosmos Rerun returned Caleb's 5-Star Solar pair Loneroad Unreturned and Loneroad Together. Completing the pair unlocks the Ultimate Weapon X-02 Companion. The rerun lasted from February 2 through February 9, giving players another opportunity to complete Caleb's older Myth set before Mortality's Tenderness began.
Secret's Kiss — January 23–February 1
Secret's Kiss was a Zayne solo limited Wish featuring the 5-Star Memory Zayne: Secret's Kiss. It ran from January 23 through February 1. The banner followed the large January Wish period and returned the schedule to a much narrower one-character target before the Fallen Cosmos Myth rerun.
Heart Compass — January 12–21
Heart Compass was a special Wish Pool that allowed players to select five permanent 5-Star Memories as their target group. It used Empyrean Wishes and did not function like a normal new limited-Memory banner. The event ran from January 12 through January 21 while Throne of Eros was also active.
Throne of Eros — December 31, 2025–January 21, 2026
Throne of Eros began on December 31, 2025 and continued through January 21, 2026, making it the first major banner carried into the 2026 timeline. Its featured 5-Star Memories were Xavier: Eulogy of Light, Zayne: Aeon's Canon, Rafayel: Fires of Devotion, Sylus: Primordial Chaos, and Caleb: Imperial Thronesong. With all five love interests featured, it established the large multi-character format seen again in several later 2026 releases.
Which 2026 Banners Are Myth Banners?
Myth banners deserve their own distinction because they revolve around a pair of 5-Star Solar Memories rather than a single featured card. Completing the pair can unlock a corresponding Companion, so players who care about combat systems as well as collecting Memories have a different reason to plan for them. The 2026 schedule has included both entirely new Myth releases and returns of older Myth pairs.
- Fallen Cosmos Rerun: Caleb: Loneroad Unreturned + Loneroad Together, unlocking Ultimate Weapon X-02.
- Ghosts' Final March: Caleb: Nether Yearning + Nether Parting, tied to the Netherlord Companion.
- Submerged Eclipse Rerun: Rafayel: Mistsea Descent + Mistsea Lament.
- Fallen Crown Rerun: Xavier: Nightvow Mooncurse + Nightvow Requiem, tied to King of Darknight.
- Edge of Continuum Rerun: Zayne: Diviner's Hymn + Diviner's Stillness, tied to God of Annihilation.
- Po Zhen Zi: Rafayel: Masked Radiance + Masked Dissolution, unlocking Vermilion Martial God.
For resource planning, the important difference is the need to complete both halves when the Companion is the real target. Pulling one Solar Memory gives you part of the Myth set, but it does not replace the second featured Memory needed for the full Companion unlock. Players entering a Myth banner with limited Diamonds should therefore decide in advance whether they are prepared to chase the pair rather than treating the first 5-Star as the natural stopping point.
How Do New Banners, Reruns, and Special Wish Pools Differ?
A new limited banner introduces a Memory or set of Memories for a limited period, while a rerun brings previously released limited Memories back into availability. The distinction becomes more important in 2026 because reruns can appear beside a completely different new Wish Pool, rather than replacing it. Someone waiting for an older Myth pair may therefore face a choice between spending on the returning Memories and saving for the new banner running around the same time.
Special Wish Pools such as Heart Compass and Radiant Fantasia work differently from a normal limited rate-up. Heart Compass let players choose five permanent 5-Star Memories and used Empyrean Wishes, while Radiant Fantasia later used a similar five-Memory selection format. Once the five choices were confirmed, the 5-Star Memories obtained from that special pool came from the selected group, making these events more useful for narrowing the permanent pool than for chasing a newly released limited card.
Radiant Fantasia also had its own milestone structure, including reward crates at specific Wish counts and a maximum number of pulls for the event. That is another reason not to assume every banner follows the same rules just because it appears under the Wish menu. Before committing a large stock of Wishes, check whether the active pool is a standard limited banner, a rerun, a Myth pair, or a special selector.
How Does Banner Pity Carry Over in Love and Deepspace?
Regular Limited Wish Pools carry their pity count forward within the Limited Wish Pool chain. If the 5-Star obtained under the applicable limited-banner rules is not an event-limited Memory, the next 5-Star is guaranteed to be an event-limited one. This carry-over is one of the most important details to remember when a banner is about to end, because stopping before the next 5-Star does not necessarily mean all progress toward pity has been wasted.
Rerun Wish Pools use their own rerun pity chain. The accumulated pity from one rerun can carry into a later rerun under the rerun rules, so it should not automatically be treated as the same counter as the current new Limited Wish Pool. This matters especially in months such as April, May, June, and July, when returning Memories appeared close to or alongside new releases.
Some multi-character banners also use Precise Wish mechanics to help players target one selected event Memory. When a specific banner offers that system, changing or cancelling the selected target after gaining the relevant Precise Wish progress can reset that progress, so it is better to choose carefully before continuing to pull. Special selectable pools can follow a separate pity setup again; Heart Compass, for example, did not simply inherit the regular Xspace Echo or standard Limited Wish pity.
Which Love and Deepspace Banner Should You Save For?
There is no single banner type that makes sense for every account. A player mainly interested in one love interest can afford to be much more selective than someone trying to collect Memories from all five, while combat-focused players may place more value on completing a Myth Solar pair because of the Companion attached to it. The most expensive mistake is usually starting several banners without deciding which result actually matters to you.
- Save for a Myth banner when the Solar pair and its Companion are the main goal, and make sure your budget is built around obtaining both Memories rather than only one.
- Choose solo or birthday banners when you are targeting that specific featured Memory and do not need to divide your resources across several love interests.
- Approach multi-character banners with a clear target. They offer several limited Memories at once, but chasing multiple different cards can drain a Diamond reserve quickly.
- Use reruns to fill specific gaps. Their value is highest when an older Memory or Myth pair you already wanted finally returns.
- Keep Empyrean Wishes in mind for special selectors. Heart Compass and Radiant Fantasia show that permanent-pool targeting can occasionally have its own dedicated Wish format.
Free resources are worth collecting before deciding how much of a saved Diamond balance to commit. BuffHub's Love and Deepspace codes page tracks redeemable codes and their available rewards, which can help add a few more resources before a Wish period ends. If a player still plans to purchase currency after using free sources, the Love and Deepspace top-up platform comparison covers Crystal and Aurum Pass availability, account requirements, server compatibility, and fulfillment methods.
Why Should You Track Reruns Separately?
Reruns are becoming too frequent to treat as a small footnote under the current banner. By August, 2026 had already brought back Myth pairs, birthday Memories, solo Memories, and multi-character limited sets. Tracking those dates separately also makes it much easier to see how long a specific Memory has been unavailable without assuming that every older card follows the same return schedule.
The 2026 pattern also shows why predicting a rerun from the calendar alone is risky. Fallen Cosmos, Submerged Eclipse, Fallen Crown, and Edge of Continuum all returned Myth pairs, while other windows brought back standard Lunar Memories or multi-character sets. Past spacing can help identify which older Memories have been absent for a long time, but it should not be presented as a confirmed rerun date until a Wish Pool is actually announced.
What Counts as a Banner in This Schedule?
This tracker only includes content that functions as a Wish Pool. Events such as Skyvault Afar, Heartfelt Gift activities, login campaigns, Promise content, minigames, and free-Memory reward tracks may run beside a banner, but they are not added as separate rows unless they have their own Wish Pool. Keeping that distinction prevents an event calendar from being mixed into the banner history and makes the page easier to update throughout the year.
The same rule applies when an event and Wish share similar dates or focus on the same love interest. Po Zhen Zi is the current Rafayel Wish Pool, while Skyvault Afar is associated event content; they are related, but they are not interchangeable names for the same system. When this schedule is updated after August 31, the next confirmed Wish Pool should replace Po Zhen Zi in the current-banner section while Po Zhen Zi moves into the completed 2026 history.
Love and Deepspace Banner FAQ
What is the current Love and Deepspace banner in August 2026?
The current banner is Po Zhen Zi, running from August 17 through August 31, 2026. It features Rafayel: Masked Radiance and Rafayel: Masked Dissolution as its limited 5-Star Solar pair. Collecting both Memories unlocks the Vermilion Martial God Companion.
What is the next Love and Deepspace banner after Po Zhen Zi?
No banner after Po Zhen Zi has been confirmed as of August 20, 2026. Zayne's September 5 birthday makes early September a period many players will be watching, but a birthday date by itself does not confirm a Wish Pool. Any specific banner name, Memory, or release date should therefore remain unconfirmed until its schedule is announced.
Do Love and Deepspace rerun banners share pity?
Rerun Wish Pools use a shared rerun pity system in which accumulated pity can carry from one rerun into a later rerun. This should be tracked separately from the regular new Limited Wish Pool chain rather than assuming all concurrent banners use one counter. Checking which banner category you are pulling on is especially important when a rerun and a new banner are available close together.
Is Radiant Fantasia a normal limited banner?
No. Radiant Fantasia was a special limited-time Wish Pool that used Empyrean Wishes and allowed players to select five permanent 5-Star Memories as its available 5-Star group. Its structure was closer to Heart Compass than to a normal new limited-Memory rate-up, so players should not use it as a model for how every limited banner works.
How do you unlock Rafayel: Vermilion Martial God?
Vermilion Martial God is tied to the Po Zhen Zi Myth pair. Players need both Rafayel: Masked Radiance and Rafayel: Masked Dissolution to complete the pair and unlock the Companion. The Po Zhen Zi Wish includes a milestone path that can guarantee both event-limited 5-Star Memories within 150 Wishes.
