Introduction

The Gacha section covers every banner type in hololive Dreams, including featured-rate-up banners, standard pool pulls, and event-limited banners. Each banner entry lists the rate-up percentage, the pity threshold, the featured holomem, and the best free-to-play strategy for the banner window. The gacha uses a 100-pull pity system with featured-rate-up, so plan your pulls around the pity rather than chasing lucky streaks. Use this section to plan your monthly gem budget, pick the right banner to pull on, and understand the rate-up math that determines when a featured holomem is guaranteed, plus the difference between standard pool and event-limited banner windows.

Core Mechanics

Every banner has a featured-rate-up mechanic that doubles the chance of pulling the featured holomem on any individual pull. The 100-pull pity system guarantees a featured holomem once you hit the threshold, and pity carries over across banners of the same type. Standard pool banners do not feature-rate-up but use the same pity system. Event-limited banners do not repeat once the event window closes, so plan your pulls accordingly. Pulls cost premium gems, which can be earned free-to-play through dailies, weeklies, events, and park passive income. The pity tracker resets between standard and featured banner types, so cross-reference the Gacha category banner calendar before pulling to know which pity pool you are feeding.

Advantages

The 100-pull pity system guarantees a featured holomem once you hit the threshold, so you can plan around a target without worrying about bad-luck streaks. Featured-rate-up banners make it cheap to chase one specific unit per cycle. Pity carries across banners, so saving for two pity windows per cycle is more efficient than pulling on every banner. The Gacha category covers every banner with rate-up math and recommended-pull strategies, so it pairs naturally with the Tier List for a complete pull-and-build plan, plus the General category free-to-play gem economy card that maps monthly gem income to your pity target so you can budget pulls without spreadsheet math.

Challenges

Featured rate-up is 50%, not 100%, so you can hit pity without pulling the featured holomem if you spread pulls across banners. Event-limited banners do not repeat, so a missed banner window means waiting for a re-run. Standard pool pulls do not feature-rate-up, so off-banner pulls are less efficient than waiting for a featured banner. The Gacha category flags every banner with its window and pity rules, so you can plan your pulls around the active banners rather than chasing every featured unit. Pity resets between standard and featured banner types, so confirm which pool you are feeding before pulling to avoid wasting your pity progress on the wrong banner type.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the pity system work?+
Every banner has a 100-pull pity threshold that guarantees a featured holomem. Pity carries across banners of the same type, so saving for two pity windows per cycle is more efficient than pulling on every banner. The Gacha category pity-explainer card walks through the math for each banner type, including standard pool and event-limited pulls. The Featured Rate-Up math is the same across all banners, so once you understand it for one banner you understand it for all the upcoming ones.
Are event-limited banners worth pulling?+
Yes if the featured holomem is on your Tier List target — event-limited banners do not repeat, so a missed window means waiting for a re-run. The Gacha category flags every event-limited banner with its window and featured unit, so you can plan your pulls around the active events. Pulling on a low-tier event holomem just because the window is closing is rarely worth it; save your gems for higher-priority targets on a future re-run rather than spending reactively on every closing window.
How much should I spend on gacha per month?+
Free-to-play players should aim for 8,000 to 12,000 gems per month from dailies, weeklies, events, and park passive income combined — enough for one full pity cycle on a featured banner. The General category free-to-play gem economy card breaks down the monthly income sources, and the Gacha category banner calendar maps the monthly income to the active banner windows so you can plan your pulls around the two highest-priority targets per cycle.

Quick Tips

💡

Save premium gems for rate-up banners of holomem you actually plan to use as a leader — pity carries over but featured rate-up does not, so spread pulls across two featured banners per cycle rather than dumping a hundred pulls on one banner and missing the next. Pair this rule with the Tier List rankings to identify your two highest-priority targets before each banner window opens. The Gacha category banner calendar makes the timing obvious, and the Updates category flags every active banner with its start and end date.

💡

Use the 100-pull pity threshold as your budget — once you hit 90 pulls without the featured holomem, the next 10 are guaranteed, so stop at 90 if you have other priorities. Going past pity on a featured banner you are not invested in is wasted gems. The Gacha category pity-tracker card walks through the math for each banner, so you can plan your pulls around the threshold rather than chasing lucky streaks, and the Tier List lets you check whether a banner is worth your pity budget.

💡

Pair your pulls with the Tier List — pulling a featured holomem who is S-tier on the Tier List is more efficient than chasing a lower-tier favorite, because the S-tier holomem will earn more value across every chart and quest. The Tier List ranks every holomem by launch-week impact, and the Gacha category pull-recommendation column on each banner maps the featured unit to its Tier List position so you can compare before spending, plus the General category free-to-play gem economy card maps monthly income to pity budget.
