    If you are reading it in 2021 - don't bother with multiple Love Juices. Stack in advance, use one, use all the available energy, then attack normally with xanax. (Maybe drink another one just before the end, and max your booster CD again)

    Plan on how to maximize the effects of Love Juice for the most dedicated players:

    • Start stacking no later than 32 hours before the chain (from here on out - assumption is that your faction starts the chain at 12:00 TCT on Feb the 13th). It means you train all your energy (including refill) at 4 AM TCT on Feb the 12th, and take your first xanax. After that – no more training or attacking!!
    • Once your Drug CD runs out, you take the second xanax, and so on all the way to 1000e, you know the drill. It will see you with 1000e and a free drug CD once the chain officially starts. Obviously, if you, for whatever reason, need to sleep at 4 AM, you take that xanax before your sleep. If you plan to be online later than the official start of the chain – you deduct 32h from that time yourself;
    • Make sure you come to the chain with zero drug, med and booster CD. Even if you can’t afford using boosters yourself (even tho even Damp Valleys will make a huge difference, 1 can=1 hit, assuming you have max voracity), some factions give the most active hitters/chainwatchers boosters from the armoury;
    • Watch your Med CD, if you are running low – pick easier targets, if you are stuck in the hospital hopelessly – buy a revive, some factions reimburse it, and either way - hits are more important than a single xanax. Ideally your faction will be having the best possible perks to help with life recovery, but it may still not be enough;
    • Once Love Juice is active, you drink it and start hitting and hitting and hitting. Love juice lasts for 5-7 (from now on will be using 6h as an average) hours, so you want to get your energy below 150 fairly quickly so it starts regenerating naturally again, after that you can slow down a bit. Don’t forget your boosters and points refill also. If you have winter newsletter bonus unused - add it to the mix as well. You should be at 0 energy once Love Juice runs out;
    • Now, the first Love juice is over: what’s next? You restack. You heard me right, you start stacking again during the chain. You stack either 500 or 750e, wait out last xanax CD then hit the second LJ, again, try to maximize your natural energy regen, and use your boosters and second refill;
    • Final step is similar to the previous: you restack one last time, either to 750 or to 500, then final LJ and go ham one last time. We are almost done at this point, make it count;
    • Important point: if you chose to stack to 500 first time, you pick 750 the second, and vice versa. Better to choose randomly and have about an equal amount of people doing both, they give equal final results, but allow you all to restack at different times, for more smooth chain running;

    Informative sheet with information:



    LJ’s cooldown is 6 hours (again, on average), for xanax was used the average 7 hours, but different scenarios were simulated, and won’t affect the overall scheme. Just don’t forget to read the thing called VERY IMPORTANT NOTE.

    VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: 4am on Feb the 15th is the last minute you can take another xanax. If it’s 4:05, and your drug CD is almost over – YOU DRINK LOVE JUICE, and hit with whatever energy you can. Otherwise there is too much of a risk that you will be left sitting on your stack, with no ability to utilize the final LJ.

    • Less important note, for absolute madmen (and maybe some women): if you want to go absolutely all-in, you get your booster CD as close to 48 hours (again, assuming max voracity, which you should have for this occasion) as possible, without exceeding it, and then eat an FHC for the final blow.
    Have enough people in your faction follow this guide and spend a fortune on boosters, and 25k chain will be a breeze.



    ADDITION. Thanks to Proxima for pointing out, the guide obviously works as described if you don't OD. But you can, and some of us inevitably will, so here's the comparison with not restacking xanax, but using natural energy only and being under the effect of LJ around the clock. Boosters, refills, newsletter energy you'll use under the LJ anyway, so those hits are pretty much a constant (you can miss a point refill due to OD tho)

    • with xanax restacking, you get 1250e (1000 if you are super unlucky with CDs), plus ~10-13 hours of natural energy during the 3 Love Juices, depending on how quickly you burn through your stack and get your energy below 150 to start regenerating naturally again. That's 1250e plus ~300-350e, or 155-160 hits. BUT: it only works with average xanax CD. Unless you really love math, skip the rest of the paragraph. Every time you take a xanax, there is a 50% chance you get 7+ hours CD. 0,5^4=6,25% that you'll only get to eat 4 xanax, or 1000e, so technically average Energy from xanax stacking is actually ~1235.


    • 48 hours of natural energy is 1440 technically, but actually 1435, as you won't be able to take advantage of that last tick, so 143 guaranteed hits; With the Book +20% energy regeneration, 1440 turns into 1728, or 172 hits and makes this option a pretty clear winner. And in either scenario, Ugly energy or double cans will earn you your factionmates' undying gratitude (from experience, lasts about 1.5 days)
    Main part: ODs. Unpredictable, according to most sources ~2.5%, but let's go with 3%. We all know how bad OD is, but how much can they actually impact your hit count on average? You should come to the chain fully stacked either way, imo, those 100 hits from 97% lucky members are worth the risk, so first six hours are the same for everyone burn your point refill, jps, near max your booster CD. You can't take an LJ while under OD.

    • OD on first xanax from restacking: minus 24 hours. At best, you'll be a decent chainwatcher with your 720 natural energy and lousy 25e per hit. ~22 hits, plus you should come to the end of your OD CD with full energy bar. 30 hours into the chain, 150e, can take another drug, which should be xanax imo, 0,09% chance to OD twice in a row, but you miss on the second point refill and jps, so up to you. 37-38 hours into the chain, eat another xanax (again, if you OD again - at least you are still alive. With your luck it's already an achievement), then LJ, burn that 650e, max booster, all the stuff. About 87 hits compared to 155-160 from ideal scenario.
    I apologize, but I won't be calculating the exact effects of OD'in on any other xanax. This one gives a good enough idea. There is a 3% chance you lose ~80hits, more if you OD on the 2nd or 3rd in the stack.

    Average energy from xanax stacking is ~1200, taking into account both CD bad luck and OD chances


    Price comparison (MAJOR UPDATE):

    5 xanax - 4,2m, 3 LJs at current price - 51mil, 55,2mil in total;

    You don't need to drink LJ one after another. Stack 1000e, drink, attack for 5-7 hours, then just sit idly for 5h, regenerating e, then drink another. So you only need 1 LJ every 11 hours on average, 48/11=4,36, rounded up to 5 obviously, as you won't miss those last 4 hours.
    Total price: 85mil.
    30mil more expensive, but only ~15hits fewer, and 0% chance to OD.

    Added the comparison to using LJ only, with no xanax stacking. Much more expensive, a little fewer hits, but also less risk. Could be a viable option

     I cannot master self love, without first mastering oneself,

    I cannot master oneself, without the ability to call myself out on my own bullshit.

    I think i figured out a better and safer way , not much of an improvement but in total you can squeeze out 6 more hits with this method and it is safer for OD energy loss.Lemme know if you find any problems with this cuz i just calculated it in my head and it might be wrong.

    After first love juice ends you have 0 energy and 0 drug cd ;

    Site's method --> use xan ---> use xan ---> use xan --->use LJ : after 3 xan cd time use LJ and make 75 hits with 750e

    My method ---> use xan ---> make 10 hits with 250e , 7 hours time = 210 natural e , spend 60=2 hits , at the end of 7 hours you made 12 hits and have 150e ready ---> take xan ----> take xan ----> take LJ make 65 hits with 650e. Total of 77 hits vs 75 in the same time frame(3*xan cd)

    and since you stack for less e you are safer (lose less e) for 2nd and 3rd xan OD's.


    Edit: the longer each xan cd better my method(wasting less natural e) , but even with 6 hour cd you still will make 3 more hits than Site's method at the end

    Edit 2 : You can use my method for 3rd stacking too , instead of 500 e stack with xan+xan+LJ //, use xan+12 hits+ xan + LJ @ 400 e = 40 hits 52 hits instead of 50.
