LG Toolkit User Guide

Joker’s LG-Toolkit helps with three related tasks:

• planning legendary card progression through the reboot system
• planning relationship gift points for mercenaries
• following Lust Goddess game news from inside the same app

If you are new to the app, open Tools when you want to plan upgrades or gifts, and use the News page or RSS feed when you want to keep up with updates.

What You Can Do in the App

The app navigation includes three main pages:

• Home
• Tools
• News

Most users will spend their time in Tools, then optionally use the News page or the RSS feed to stay informed about game updates.

Tools includes:

• Level Calculator for legendary card progression
• Gift Calculator for relationship gift planning

Understanding the Reboot System

The calculator is based on a milestone-style reboot system. As your legendary card levels up, it can reboot at key levels. Rebooting increases the reboot rank and star count, then resets the card back to level 1 so you can continue progressing.

The app uses these reboot milestones:

• Level 6
• Level 11
• Level 16
• Level 21
• Level 26
• Level 31

In practical terms, the strategy is simple:

1. Level the card up to the next reboot milestone.
2. Reboot when that milestone is reached.
3. Repeat the process to build higher reboot ranks.

This is why the calculator does more than just add up upgrade costs. It also follows the reboot path for you.

Using the Level Calculator

Open Tools, then choose Level Calculator. At the top of the calculator, you can switch between two modes:

• Card Calculator
• Target Calculator

These modes answer different questions, so choosing the right one makes the tool much easier to use.

Card Calculator

Use Card Calculator when you want to know how far your current resources can take you.

This is the best mode for questions like:

• How much progress can I make with the cards I already have?
• If I spend everything now, what reboot and level will I end up at?
• How much credit cost should I expect from this amount of cards?

Fields in Card Calculator

You enter three values:

• Current Level
• Current Reboot
• Total Cards Available

The app then calculates the optimal progression path based on those starting values.

What Card Calculator Shows

After the calculation runs, the app shows:

• your final level
• your final reboot rank
• the matching star display
• total cards used
• total credits used
• leftover cards
• partial progress toward the next level, if applicable

This makes Card Calculator the best option when you are working from a fixed card budget.

Card Step Sizes

The Total Cards Available field includes a step selector so you can change the amount more quickly. The available card step sizes are:

• 1
• 100
• 500
• 1k
• 10k

This is especially useful if you want to test multiple scenarios without typing each number manually.

Example Use Case for Card Calculator

If you know your card is at Current Level 1, Current Reboot 0, and you have a certain number of legendary cards saved, Card Calculator will show the highest progression state you can reach with that amount.

This is the mode to use when your starting point is your inventory.

Target Calculator

Use Target Calculator when you want to know what it will cost to reach a specific goal.

This is the best mode for questions like:

• How many cards do I need to get to a certain reboot rank?
• What will it cost to reach a specific level inside a target reboot?
• How many credits should I save before I start upgrading?

Fields in Target Calculator

You enter four values:

• Current Level
• Current Reboot
• Target Level
• Target Reboot

The app then calculates the exact progression path needed to reach that target.

What Target Calculator Shows

After calculating, the app shows:

• the total cards needed
• the total credits needed
• the resulting final level and reboot
• the full step-by-step upgrade path

Unlike Card Calculator, this mode is not asking how far you can get with a budget. Instead, it tells you the cost of getting where you want to go.

Example Use Case for Target Calculator

If your card is at a lower reboot and you want to know the full cost to reach a future reboot milestone, Target Calculator is the right tool. It helps you plan before you commit resources.

This is the mode to use when your starting point is your goal.

Submit Mode

Under the calculator form, the app includes a button labeled Toggle Submit Mode.

This changes how the forms behave.

How Submit Mode Works

When Submit Mode is off

This is the faster, live-update workflow.

As soon as you change a field, the calculator updates the result immediately.

That means:

• changing current level updates the result right away
• changing reboot updates the result right away
• changing card totals or targets updates the result right away

This mode is ideal when you are experimenting and want instant feedback.

When Submit Mode is on

This turns the form into a submit-based workflow.

In this mode:

• the values you type are kept locally in the form first
• the calculation does not update immediately
• a Calculate button appears
• the app only applies the changes after you press Calculate

This is useful when you want to edit several fields before recalculating.

When to Use Submit Mode

Submit Mode is a good fit when:

• you want to change multiple values together
• you do not want the result panel shifting after every small edit
• you are entering precise values and want to review them first

If you prefer instant feedback, leave Submit Mode off. If you prefer a more deliberate workflow, turn it on.

Reading the Results

Once a calculation runs, the app shows multiple result sections. These are meant to answer both the quick question and the detailed one.

Results Summary

The Results Summary section gives you the headline answer.

It includes:

• final level
• final reboot
• star rank display
• total cards used
• total credits used
• leftover cards

In Card Calculator mode, if you still have some cards left but not enough to complete the next level-up, the app also shows a partial progress section.

That section includes:

• the next level you are working toward
• progress percentage toward that level
• how many more cards are needed
• the credit amount associated with that next upgrade

This is useful when you are close to another level but not quite there yet.

Progress Visualization

The calculator also includes a visual progression section that helps you understand the journey, not just the outcome.

Use this area when you want a more visual sense of:

• where you started
• when reboot milestones are reached
• where your final state lands

This is especially helpful for longer upgrade paths that move across multiple reboots.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

The Step-by-Step Breakdown section is the most detailed part of the calculator.

It groups level-ups by reboot rank and shows:

• each level transition
• cards spent on that step
• credits spent on that step
• running totals after each step

If you want exact spending details, this is the section to read.

It is also the best section to use when double-checking whether a planned upgrade path fits your available resources.

Notes on Limits and Progression

The app currently supports levels up to 31 and reboot values up to 7.

It also uses a total maximum card value of 217,810 cards for full progression tracking in the calculator logic.

For users, the practical takeaway is simple: the calculator is designed to cover the full progression path supported by the current app data.

Using the Gift Calculator

Open Tools, then choose Gift Calculator.

This tool helps you plan relationship gift points for each mercenary and track progress toward relationship level 20, which requires 35,100 points.

What the Gift Calculator Shows

For each mercenary, the table shows:

• current relationship level based on entered points
• best points available from favorite gifts in your inventory
• required points still needed to reach level 20
• total points from all owned gifts, including non-favorite variants at lower values

Gift Inventory Panel

Use the Gift inventory panel to enter how many gifts you own for each tier and variant. The calculator updates Best Points and Total Points for every mercenary automatically.

You can also:

• search mercenaries by name
• sort by level, points, name, or computed columns
• collapse the Gift inventory panel to give the mercenary table more space
• reset gift inventory or mercenary points with confirmation prompts

Gift Calculator Persistence

Entered gift counts, mercenary points, and search text are saved automatically in browser storage and in the page URL. That makes it easy to refresh the page or share your current setup with someone else.

Using the News Section

The app is not only a calculator. It also includes a News page for Lust Goddess updates.

Open News from the top navigation to see the latest articles inside the app.

What the News Page Shows

The page lists recent game news items and presents them as article cards. Each item can include:

• the article title
• the publish date
• a cleaned-up preview of the article contents
• an image when one is available

If a custom article image is not available, the app falls back to a default game image.

How to Read an Article

Each article card is clickable.

When you click one, the app opens the original news link in a new browser tab. This lets you browse headlines in the app first, then jump to the full source only when you want more detail.

News Caching and Daily Updates

The app notes that the visible news is updated daily.

It also caches fetched news locally in the browser, which helps the page show content quickly while still updating from the latest published data.

For most users, this just means the News page is convenient to revisit without needing to reload everything from scratch each time.

Using the RSS Feed

If you prefer a feed reader instead of checking the News page manually, the app also provides an RSS feed for the same news source.

RSS Feed URL

The RSS route is:

• /rss/lg-game-news

On the deployed site, the full URL is:

• https://lg-reboot-calc.vercel.app/rss/lg-game-news

What the RSS Feed Includes

The feed mirrors the same game news source used by the News page. Feed entries include:

• title
• description
• original article link
• publication date
• article image enclosure when available

This makes it easy to follow updates from any RSS-compatible app or reader.

Why Use the RSS Feed Instead of the News Page

The News page is better when:

• you want to browse inside the app
• you prefer a visual card layout
• you only check updates occasionally

The RSS feed is better when:

• you use a feed reader already
• you want updates alongside your other subscriptions
• you prefer an automatic follow workflow

Both use the same general source, so the better choice depends on how you like to keep up with updates.

FAQ and Common Mistakes

Why is nothing changing when I edit the calculator fields?

The most common reason is that Submit Mode is turned on.

When Submit Mode is active, the calculator does not update results immediately. You need to press Calculate before the new values are applied.

If you want live updates again, press Toggle Submit Mode to turn it off.

Why did my card reset back to level 1?

That is expected behavior after a reboot.

When the card reaches a reboot milestone, the reboot rank increases and the card resets to level 1. The calculator is designed around that system, so the reset is part of the progression path rather than a mistake.

Why does the calculator stop before the next level?

In Card Calculator, the app only progresses as far as your available cards allow.

If you do not have enough cards for the next level-up, the calculator stops there and may show partial progress instead. This is normal and means you are short on cards for the next full upgrade.

Why do I see leftover cards?

Leftover cards appear when your remaining card amount is not enough to complete another full level-up.

The calculator still reports them so you can see what remains after the optimal path is completed.

Why are there no steps in the step-by-step breakdown?

If the breakdown shows no steps, it usually means one of these is true:

• your current values already meet or exceed the target
• you do not have enough cards to make a level-up in Card Calculator
• your target is at or below your current progression state in Target Calculator

In short, no steps means there was no valid upgrade path to perform from the values entered.

Why does Target Calculator show zero required cards?

This usually happens when your starting state is already at the target or beyond it.

For example, if your current reboot is higher than the target reboot, or your current level is already at or above the target level within the same reboot, the app has nothing left to calculate.

Why are my results changing every time I click plus or minus?

That means Submit Mode is off.

With Submit Mode off, every field change updates the calculation immediately. If you want to change several values first, turn Submit Mode on and use the Calculate button when ready.

Why can I not go beyond certain level or reboot values?

The app uses built-in progression limits based on its current data.

Right now, the supported progression range goes up to:

• level 31
• reboot 7

If a value stops increasing, you have likely reached the supported maximum for that field.

Why does the News page sometimes feel faster on repeat visits?

The app stores fetched news in local browser storage. That cached data can help the page show content faster on later visits while the app still works with the latest fetched data.

Why does a news article open in a new tab?

That is the intended behavior.

The News page is designed as a browsing surface inside the app, while the full source article opens separately. This lets you keep your place in the app while reading the original post.

Why would I use the RSS feed if the News page already exists?

Use the News page if you want a simple in-app reading experience.

Use the RSS feed if you want to:

• follow updates in a feed reader
• group the game’s news with your other subscriptions
• check for updates without opening the app first

Common mistakes to avoid

• Forgetting to press Calculate while Submit Mode is on.
• Using Card Calculator when you actually want a goal-cost estimate.
• Using Target Calculator when you really want to know how far your current cards can go.
• Assuming a reboot reset means lost progress, when it is actually part of the progression system.
• Looking only at the final result and skipping the Step-by-Step Breakdown, which often explains the outcome more clearly.

Final Takeaway

This app combines planning and follow-up in one place.

Use the planning tools to understand progression costs, gift outcomes, and relationship progress. Use the news tools to keep track of game updates. If you switch between them regularly, the app becomes a practical day-to-day companion for both upgrading and staying informed.
