hololive Dreams has over 50 playable hololive members, spanning all generations and branches. How to choose training targets, how to organize the team rationally, and how to allocate limited resources are issues that every player must face. This guide will give you a comprehensive understanding of the character development system from basic to advanced.
Character rarity system
Differences and acquisitions of ★3 / ★4 / ★5
Characters in the game are divided into three levels according to rarity:
- ★3 (Samsung):The most common rarity and easy to obtain. It can be used as a transition in the early stage, but its strength in the later stage is limited.
- ★4 (four stars):The backbone is moderately difficult to obtain and has practical skills. It is the main force of most players' teams.
- ★5 (five stars):The highest rarity, with the strongest attributes and skills. Mainly obtained through limited card pool.
Obtaining methods include: card pool drawing, task rewards, event redemption, initial gift, etc. inEvent-limited ★5 charactersOften high in strength and collectible value.
Level up and awakening
Upgrade, breakthrough and awakening
Character growth includes multiple dimensions:
- Level up:Use experience materials to upgrade characters and improve basic attributes. Levels are limited by character rarity and breakthrough stage.
- Breakthrough Unlocked:After reaching the current level cap, use breakthrough materials to unlock higher level caps.
- Awakening Breakthrough:Use duplicate cards of the same character to awaken, and each awakening will increase the character's attributes and skill level limit. ★5 characters are fully awakened and require multiple duplicate cards.
For civilian players,Highly awakened ★4 charactersThey are often stronger than ★5 characters with low awakening, so don’t just pursue rarity.
Skill system understanding
Active skills and passive skills
Each character has a variety of skills. Only by understanding them can you match them appropriately:
- Captain skills:It only takes effect when placed in the captain position. Usually it is a bonus to attributes of the whole team or a score increase under certain conditions.
- Active skills:Triggered through the skill bar in rhythm games and has a cooldown. Effects include score bonus, judgment improvement, life recovery, etc.
- Passive skills:The permanent effect takes effect automatically. Attribute bonuses, bonuses triggered by special conditions, etc.
Upgrading skills requires skill materials, and the priority is usually:Captain Skills > Core Active Skills > Passive Skills。
Team Building guide
Captain skills + member skills + color attributes
Team Building is a key factor that affects scoring. A good team needs to take into account the following points:
- Unified color attributes:When the color of the whole team is consistent with the attributes of the song, the maximum bonus will be obtained. Prioritize forming a solid color team.
- Captain skill matching:Choose the captain who maximizes the team's profits. Solid color teams give priority to captain skills with bonuses of the same color.
- Complementary skills of members:The types of active skills must be properly matched - the combination of score + judgment + recovery is the most practical.
- Supplementary card selection:For support slots, choose a character that provides more bonuses, not necessarily the one with the highest rarity.
It is recommended to develop a main team for each color in the early stage to deal with songs with different attributes.
Card pool extraction recommendations
The event-limited card pool has the highest priority
When diamonds are limited, there are choices to be made when drawing from the card pool:
- Event limited card pool:Highest priority. Limited characters will not be re-created after the event (or they will be re-created after a long time). If you miss it, it will be forever.
- Powerful resident card pool:Second. You can draw it when there is a particularly powerful permanent character, but there is always a chance that the permanent character will miss you.
- Ordinary resident pools:It is not recommended to invest resources specifically. Just wait until it becomes crooked.
Plan your budget before drawing cards and don’t get carried away. It is the safest way to save enough for one well (a guaranteed number of times) before drawing.
Resource allocation
Limited resources give priority to cultivating the main team
Development resources (experience, breakthrough materials, skill books) are always scarce in the game. A reasonable allocation guide is:
- Priority main team:Concentrate resources to train one team to the current highest level, and then consider the next team.
- Event resources prioritize event roles:The special materials obtained during the event are most efficient when used to strengthen the event characters.
- Don’t be egalitarian:It is better to upgrade all characters to level 30 than to upgrade one character to level 60. Only high-level characters can participate in high-difficulty content.
- Planning material use:Before the event, check what materials are needed and stock them up in advance.
Intimacy Unlocked
Increase intimacy through interaction to unlock the plot
In addition to combat values, characters also have an intimacy system. Increasing intimacy not only provides attribute bonuses, but more importantly, can unlock exclusive plots:
- Park interaction:Interacting with members and giving gifts in the park can increase intimacy
- Song performance:Playing rhythm games with this character also increases intimacy
- Personal plot:Unlocked when intimacy reaches a certain level, each character has an independent story line
- Memorial photos:Certain intimacy levels allow you to take photos with characters
For the characters you like, interact more - this is the soul of the development game.
Conclusion
Character development is a long-term process, so don’t rush for success. Choose your favorite characters, slowly develop them, and slowly unlock their stories - this is the real charm of the hololive Dreams character system.
I hope this guide can help you avoid detours and build your dream lineup as soon as possible.
