Character

In HoloCure, the player can select one from a cast of **characters** to play the game. The characters come in the form of Hololive idols, each one having a unique starting weapon, three skills, and a Special Attack that they can use. Characters are grouped by their respective Hololive branches and generations.

## Obtaining

*Main article: Character Gacha*
The five characters from Hololive EN Myth are unlocked by default. Players may obtain and upgrade characters through the Character Gacha, by spending HoloCoins to pull from each group's character banners. Each character has an equal chance of appearing from their banner.

### G. Rank

If players receive a duplicate gacha pull of an already-obtained character, that character will receive a G. Rank Up, which adds a +1% bonus to HP, ATK, and SPD (up to a max of 20%).

## Loadout

### Base Stats

All characters start out with base stats, which includes HP, ATK, SPD, CRT, Pickup Radius, and Haste. These base stats can be increased by obtaining duplicates from the Character Gacha, purchasing Upgrades from the Shop, or picking up temporary Stat Ups from within the run. The values in the character selection screen will not appear to be affected by duplicate bonus or shop upgrade bonus but they will be applied to the character once in-game (visible in the pause menu).

The character's G. Rank indicates how many total copies the player has collected for that particular character. G. Rank is displayed after the first duplicate is obtained, beginning at G. Rank 2. Each duplicate will grant an additional 1% HP, ATK, and SPD up to a maximum of 20% at G. Rank 21. The G. Rank will continue to level up beyond that for every duplicate the player obtains, but no additional stats will be granted. It is presumed the G stands for "gacha" although there is no official statement about it.

### Starting Weapon

All characters have their own unique weapon that they start with. These weapons can be leveled up to 6 then once more to acquire its Awakened state. These weapons are tied to each of the characters and cannot be used by another character. Starting weapons can be upgraded by either leveling up or by using an Anvil. Stamps can also be added to Starting Weapons in-game for added boosts.

The effects of the starting weapons can be seen in the character selection screen.

### Special Attack

Each character has a unique special attack that can only be used once the player has purchased the Special Attack upgrade from the shop. Special Attacks cannot be upgraded via Level Ups.

The effects of the special attacks can be seen in the character selection screen (once the player has purchased the Special Attack upgrade from the shop).

### Skills

Each character has 3 skills. These are passive effects that only take effect once the player has selected it through level up. Skills can be upgraded up to three times. Skills can only be acquired through level up and cannot be upgraded through Anvils.

Skills are marked with a star in the level up screen. The effects of the skills that have been picked in the current run can be viewed in the pause menu.

The Fandom system allows characters to immediately have the skills acquired without levelling up.

## Fandoms

*Main article: Fandom*
Fandoms are a system under the Achievements menu that allow characters to gain bonuses based on accomplishments. It is unlocked by purchasing the corresponding upgrade from the shop, costing 2,000 HoloCoins.

## Alternate Outfits

Some characters have alternate outfits, which can be obtained in the Character Gacha, either randomly bundled with the received character (no matter whether the character is a duplicate or being unlocked for the first time) or redeeming them for 15 Gambler's Tears. To equip an alternate costume, enter the character selection screen, select the character, then select the outfit in an additional screen that only appears if a character with unlocked outfits is selected.

As of the game's current version, the number of alternate outfits each character has is as follows:

## Trivia

* Kay Yu has shared plans to add every Hololive talent to the game.
* The character selection screen has changed significantly since the launch version with each major update also re-organizing it in its own way.
	+ Version 0.3: Each generation has its own row with its own header with the upcoming gen being teased using a lock image. At this point, the screen was likely designed to be scrollable.
	+ Version 0.4: The implied scrollability was removed and all characters are displayed in the same screen. Teaser for the next gen was also removed and replaced with a Random Character Option. Gamers was added to the same line as Project: HOPE (IRyS) likely to fill out a row.
	+ Version 0.5: All generation headers were removed and the screen condensed to make place for 9 new characters (JP Gen 1+2)
* The characters are grouped based on their "generation" which indicates Hololive members who debuted during the same timeframe. Initially a generation simply denoted which batch a member debuted in, but starting from GAMERS, Hololive generations became more formalized in an effort to build more tight knit groups by being treated as an organized unit.
	+ Hololive English is the first branch to not use numbered generation names. This was intended to not impose the Japanese Senpai-Kouhai (*senior-junior*) culture on the branch consisting of non-Japanese members.
	+ IRyS is the only non-Gen 0 HoloPro member to debut as the sole member of her "generation". In practice, IRyS is usually considered a defacto member of Council under the group name CouncilRyS.
	+ Hololive Gen 0 is a grouping of Hololive members that joined Hololive outside of its Generation system. Originally known as "Hololive Affiliated Talents", they gained the name Gen 0 later on.
		- Sora and Roboco both debuted before hololive (the agency) was even established, with Sora and Roboco being the first and second VTuber debuted by Cover respectively.
		- Miko originally debuted under Cover as a completely independent project named *Miko no Tsutome! (みこのつとめっ!*). The project's failure would eventually lead Miko to join Hololive in December 2018, making her the junior to JP Gen 2 and genmates to Gamers.
		- Suisei debuted as an independent VTuber in March 2018 and would later join Hololive when she re-debuted as part of INNK Music in May 2019 with AZKi. Due to issues with INNK management, Suisei would later be transferred into the main Hololive branch in December of the same year. The large gaps between these "debut" dates has led to Suisei having a Schrodinger-esque senpai-kouhai relationship with the Hololive members from JP Gen 1 to Gen 4.
		- AZKi was originally created as a joint project between Cover and Kizuna Ai's upd8, who would also co-establish INNK. She debuted alongside Suisei, but would become the label's only member after Suisei was transferred into the main Hololive branch. Her joining Hololive in April 2022 would make her the last member of Gen 0, albeit she was already semi-officially part of it even before INNK's dissolution.
	+ Hololive GAMERS is a generation consisting of talents who were personally scouted by Shirakami Fubuki which is why she is part of two different generations. This generation originally only includes Fubuki and Mio while Okayu and Korone would join later on.
