Homun Culture Cell Calculator
Find the best Culture Cell combinations for your target Homun. Each incubation uses exactly 10 cells — the total points determine the Grade and which Homuns you can get.
What is Homun incubation in LordNine: Infinite?
Homuns are companion units incubated from Culture Cells — monster drops that come in sixteen tiers, from Cell #1 worth a single point up to Cell #16 worth 768. Every incubation consumes exactly ten cells, and the sum of their point values decides two things: which of the thirteen grades your Homun rolls in, and the probability split between the genomes available at that grade. Within each grade the odds favor the four “common” genomes heavily (the base split is roughly 49%, 43%, 5%, and 2% across the top bundle), so chasing a specific rare genome is a numbers game — one this calculator lets you play on paper before you spend anything.
How to use the calculator
- Grade Calculator tab — choose your target grade and genome bundle, and a tier target (Tier I/II/III/IV = budgeting for 1/2/4/8 incubations). You get the minimum-point and maximum-point ten-cell combinations for that grade, the full probability table per genome, and the cheapest way to buy the missing cells.
- Incubation Simulator tab — hand-pick any ten cells you own or plan to buy, and see exactly which grade that total lands in and the weighted odds across all eight possible outcomes.
- My Inventory — enter cells you already own and every purchase recommendation subtracts them before pricing.
How the math works
The grade boundaries, cell point values, and genome probability weights are taken from the game's own data tables, so the percentages shown are the same ones the game rolls against. Note the probabilities shift with your point total: hitting a grade's minimum threshold and hitting near its ceiling can produce noticeably different odds for the genome you actually want, which is why the tool shows both the minimum and maximum combinations and flags which section gives you the best chance.
Buying cells: how the price recommendation works
Culture Cell chests are sold on the player marketplace in x10, x50, and x100 sizes, and bigger is not always cheaper per cell. The calculator pulls live listings for your realm (Origin or Frontier), works out the cheapest chest size for each cell you are short of, and sorts complete purchase plans by total USDt cost — with an in-stock marker so you don't plan around a listing that isn't actually there. If you are budgeting multiple incubations, set the tier target first: quantities and costs scale with it, and a plan that looks cheap for one incubation can change shape entirely at eight.
Practical tips
- The minimum combination is optimized to be easy to farm (lower cell tiers, fewer rare cells) — use it when you mostly farm your own cells.
- The maximum combination squeezes the best odds out of the grade — use it when you are buying cells anyway and want every percentage point.
- Combining cells aimed at two different genomes makes the outcome roughly a coin flip between them — the simulator warns you when a mix does this. Decide what you want before you incubate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Homun Culture Cell calculator work?
Pick a grade (1-13), then select your target genome bundle (e.g. Guest of Fate). The calculator shows the minimum and maximum Culture Cell combinations using exactly 10 cells, along with the probability of getting each Homun at those point totals.
What are Homun Culture Cells in LordNine?
Homun Culture Cells are items dropped by monsters in LordNine: Infinite. They come in 16 tiers (#1 through #16), each worth a different point value from 1 up to 768 points. You insert exactly 10 cells to incubate a Homun, and the total points determine the grade and genome probabilities.
What is the best Culture Cell combination for Grade 9 Homun?
The easiest minimum combination for Grade 9 is 9x Homun Culture Cell #13 + 1x Homun Culture Cell #14 (2,688 points). For maximum chances, use higher-value cells to reach closer to 3,415 points without exceeding the grade boundary.
How many Homun grades are there?
There are 13 Homun grades in LordNine: Infinite, all currently reachable. The maximum achievable total is 7,680 points (10× Cell #16) — exactly the cap of Grade 13. Higher grades require higher-value Culture Cells; Cell #16 (768 pts) is the rarest and unlocks Grades 12-13.
What do the Tier I to Tier IV targets mean?
The tier target sets how many incubations you are budgeting for: Tier I plans one incubation, Tier II two, Tier III four, and Tier IV eight. Higher tiers multiply the cells you need to buy or farm, and the calculator scales every cost estimate accordingly.
Where do the probabilities and prices come from?
Grade ranges, cell point values, and genome probabilities are taken from the game data files, so they match what the game actually rolls. Chest prices are live player-to-player marketplace listings for Culture Cell chests (x10, x50, and x100 sizes) on your selected realm.
