HoloCure Characters Guide

HoloCure – Save the Fans! throws players into chaotic battles where Hololive idols wield unique powers to fend off endless hordes. Choosing the right character defines your run, as each brings distinct starting weapons, skills, and special attacks tailored to different playstyles. This guide breaks down every playable character, their abilities, acquisition methods, and pro tips for optimization.

Game Basics: Why Characters Matter

Characters represent Hololive VTubers grouped by branches like JP, EN, ID, and DEV_IS. They start with baseline stats but grow through gacha duplicates, granting rank-ups that boost HP, ATK, and SPD by 1% each (capped at 20%). Default unlocks give immediate access to strong options, while others require HoloCoins earned from runs.

Success hinges on synergy: tanky characters for survival, DPS-focused for clears, or healers for longevity. Experiment to find favorites, as alternate outfits add cosmetic flair without stat changes.
