Getting Started

This guide will help you get started on the basics and fundamentals of the game. It will cover from installations to familiarizing with the hub and menus of the game!

## Downloading and Installing

Into the Holoverse can be downloaded from its itch.io page by clicking here.

In order to install the game, extract the folder from the zip file and run the IntoTheHoloverse exe file. After running it, it will take you to the loading screen and shortly present you to the update screen to update the game to the latest patch.

There are also **patcherless** **versions**. They are builds that already downloaded the necessary files so that the game doesn't have to update itself to the latest version.

## Main Hub

The main hub is where you can access different types of menus like summoning, resting, missions, party editing; as well as viewing your  Nakirium,  Gold and  Energy. You can click on the buildings to direct you to the menus or you can use the sidebar on the left for easy access.

Here is an overview of the facilities in the hub:

* Summoning - this is where you acquire new units for your party.
* Crafting - this is where you craft equipment to increase the stats of a unit.
* Rest - this is where you place characters to regenerate their HP.
* Missions - this is where Daily, Weekly, All-time and Event missions are posted.
* Party - this is where you customize your party, swap units, equip items and more.
* Mailbox - this is where you get gifts or information about upcoming patches.
* Quest - this is where you choose quest stages and level up your units or farm materials.
* Office - this is a Work-In-Progress (WIP) feature.

Further details about the facilities are listed down below.

## Summoning

Summoning allows you to acquire more units for your roster in exchange of  Nakirium. A total of 150  Nakirium is required for a single pull in a summon banner, you can also use 750  Nakirium in order to pull five times in a single moment (multi-pulling can guarantee the player a guaranteed 4 star unit).

**Standard banner** is a normal banner that gives the players equal chance rate of all units.

There are also **limited banners** that features rate-up characters. It can feature from non-limited to limited units. (WIP)

Getting a duplicate unit awards you with **Superchat** (SC) points instead, which you can use on leveling up unit skills. (WIP)

## Crafting (WIP)

Crafting is focused on making equipment and increase the stats of your team depending on who you equip it. This feature has multiple equipment "series" that ranges from different effects. These effects are listed as per:

* Asacoco Series - focuses on resistance equipment.
* Brr Shooty Series - focuses on attack enhancements.
* Food Series - focuses on healing and regeneration effects.
* Mr Plumber Series - focuses on conditional set items.
* Sbevecraft Series - focuses on flat stat equipment.
* Holo Series - Work-In-Progress (WIP).
* Idol Series - Work-In-Progress (WIP).
* Sponsorship Series - Work-In-Progress (WIP).

## Resting

Resting provides HP regeneration to units at the cost of timed inaccessible units. This feature provides four slots for units and you may only assign damaged units.

Keep in mind that you **cannot** choose a quest if a unit assigned in the rest feature is in your party. You must swap out the said unit for a different one or wait out the timer before going in a quest.

## Missions (WIP)

Missions give you tasks for rewards. It currently has four tabs categorized as: Daily, Weekly, All-time and Event. These tasks can expire or reset after a certain time period.

* Daily - these are tasks that you can take on once per day.
* Weekly - these are tasks that you can take on once per week.
* All-time - these are tasks that does not have a time limit and can only be done once per playthrough.
* Event - these are limited tasks that only appears when there is an event that's present.

## Party

The party feature allows the player to customize and build their own team. You can also view unit stats, levels and can set up to six 4-unit teams. You can also equip items that you crafted (see: *Crafting*) on units and you can also upgrade unit skills here (WIP).

Another feature for this is position swapping and unit swapping.

Position swapping allows players to strategically place units to be played on the rotation.

Unit swapping allows players to change a unit into another unit.

## Mailbox

The mailbox acts as an announcer for the game. This can give you gifts for bug patching, events, and even Hololive birthdays!

Gifts varies from  Nakirium,  Energy,  Gold, Materials, and even units!

* **Path of Fortune** is still a Work-In-Progress.
