Introduction

The Gacha section covers hololive Dreams' premium currency, banner schedule, pity system, and best ways to spend premium gems. Premium gems are earned through dailies, events, story chapters, and the park; they are used for gacha pulls on banners that rotate roughly every 2 weeks. The pity system guarantees a 5-star holomem every 100 pulls on the standard banner. Featured rate-up banners have a 50% chance of the featured holomem on the 5-star pull. Use this section to plan your pulls, manage your gem reserve, and avoid common gacha pitfalls.

Core Mechanics

Premium gems are the soft currency used for gacha pulls; one pull costs 100 gems, a 10-pull costs 1,000 gems. The pity counter tracks pulls on the current banner and resets when you pull a 5-star. Featured rate-up banners have a 50% chance of the featured holomem; if you don't get the featured holomem within 200 pulls, the next 5-star is guaranteed featured. Standard banner pity is 100 pulls for a random 5-star.

Advantages

The pity system guarantees a 5-star holomem within a predictable number of pulls, removing the worst gacha frustrations. Featured rate-up banners let you target specific holomem rather than rolling randomly. Anniversary banners with shared pity are the best value of the year for free-to-play players who save gems.

Challenges

Off-banner 5-stars can dilute your roster if you're targeting a specific holomem — even 100 pulls can give you a random 5-star instead of the featured one. Event-exclusive banners have a hard timer; if you don't pull during the event, the holomem may not return for many months. Premium gem packs are expensive for the value provided — only buy during anniversary bonus events.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does pity work across banners?+

Pity is tracked per banner. If you pull 80 times on a featured banner without a 5-star and switch to a different banner, your pity resets. Pity carries over only between same-type banners (e.g., standard to standard, featured to featured).

Is it worth spending money on hololive Dreams?+

Optional — every story chapter, song, and chart is achievable as a free-to-play player with steady gem saving. Paid gem packs are useful for skipping the gem grind, especially during anniversary events with bonus pity, but they are never required.

What's the best banner to pull on?+

It depends on your roster plan. Anniversary banners with shared pity are the best value. For mid-season, pull on the featured rate-up banner of a holomem you actually plan to use as a leader — featured rate-up is 50%, so spread pity across two featured banners per cycle.

Quick Tips

💡

Save at least 9,000 gems (90 pulls) before pulling on any banner — that way you're never short of pity if RNG doesn't cooperate.

💡

Pull on featured rate-up banners of holomem you actually plan to use — featured rate-up is 50%, but only if you pull on that specific banner.

💡

Skip standard banner pulls if you have a featured banner you're saving for — standard banner 5-stars are random and don't add value to a focused roster plan.
