hololive Dreams recruits its cast of over 50 hololive members through a gacha system, and each member you pull becomes a playable card for the rhythm game. The free-to-play title splits summoning across three banners, each with its own currency, timing, and purpose. Knowing which banner to spend on, and which currency it accepts, is the difference between wasting premium pulls and building a strong starting lineup.
Quick answer: Use Tickets, Red Diamonds, or Blue Diamonds on the permanent holodori Gacha for standard summons (3-star 85%, 4-star 10%, 5-star 5%). Save free currency for the Beginner Support Gacha, which lets you pick three 5-star members at a boosted rate during your first seven days after clearing Chapter 1 Episode 1.
The three hololive Dreams gacha banners
Every character in the game comes from one of three summon pools. Two are time-limited and tied to your story progress, while the third stays open permanently. The table below breaks down what each banner offers and how you pay for it.
| Banner | Availability | Currency | Key feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Running Start Gacha | Up to 48 hours after clearing “The Beginning of a Dream” | Blue Diamonds only | Guarantees a 5-star in a 10-pull; limited to one 10-pull |
| Beginner Support Gacha | 7 days after clearing Chapter 1 Episode 1 | Red or Blue Diamonds | Choose up to three 5-star members for a boosted rate |
| holodori Gacha | Permanent | Tickets, Red or Blue Diamonds | Standard pool of all 54 characters |
Running Start Gacha: the premium starter
This is the premium banner, and it guarantees at least one 5-star character within a single 10-pull. The catch is that you can only spend a single 10-pull on it, and it accepts nothing but Blue Diamonds, the paid currency. Blue Diamonds are bought from the store with real money.
The window is short. The banner disappears within 48 hours of clearing the main story quest “The Beginning of a Dream.” Because it requires spending real money to pull, it is easy to skip if you would rather build your roster through free currency.
Beginner Support Gacha: pick your 5-stars
The Beginner Support banner is the most valuable free option for new players. When it opens, you select up to three 5-star hololive members, and choosing them raises their appearance rate on that banner. That makes it the best chance to steer your early lineup toward favorites rather than leaving it to chance.
It stays open for seven days after you clear Chapter 1 Episode 1 of the main story quest. You can spend either a single pull or a 10-pull, and both Red and Blue Diamonds are accepted, so you do not need to spend money to use it.
holodori Gacha: the standard permanent banner
The holodori Gacha is the always-available banner that holds all 54 characters in the game. It accepts the widest range of currency, so you can summon with Tickets, Blue Diamonds, or Red Diamonds. This is where most of your long-term pulling happens.
Member rarities run from ★3 to ★5, and the standard drop rates apply to every spin on this banner.
| Rarity | Drop rate |
|---|---|
| 3-star | 85% |
| 4-star | 10% |
| 5-star | 5% |
Currencies used for summoning
Three types of currency feed the banners, and each banner only accepts specific ones. Matching the right currency to the right banner keeps you from locking yourself out of a pull.
- Blue Diamonds — the premium currency, purchased from the store with real money. Accepted on all three banners.
- Red Diamonds — earned in-game. Accepted on the Beginner Support and holodori banners.
- Tickets — used to summon on the holodori Gacha.
Gacha Points, exchange, and duplicates
Beyond raw luck, the system includes a point-based safety net so you are guaranteed to earn a member over time. Here is how the surrounding mechanics work.
- Every summon awards one Gacha Point.
- Once you reach 200 Gacha Points, a separate exchange menu opens where you can directly recruit an eligible holomem.
- After an event ends, any unused Gacha Points convert into Holo Stickers, which you spend at the Holosticker Exchange.
- Pulling a member you already own turns the duplicate into that member’s Booom points.
You will know a summon succeeded when the recruited member is added to your roster and their card becomes available for team building, where each holomem can slot in as a leader or supporting member. The 200-point exchange is the reliable route if your pulls have not produced the member you want.
hololive Dreams is playable on iOS, Android, and PC through Steam, with cross-platform data synchronization so your roster carries between devices. If you are starting fresh, prioritize the Beginner Support Gacha to hand-pick 5-star members, lean on the holodori Gacha for everyday summoning, and treat the point exchange as your guaranteed path to any member you keep missing.
