The 4th generation, referred to as Force, features Kiryu Coco, Amane Kanata, Tokoyami Towa, Tsunomaki Watame, and Himemori Luna. Here’s a closer look at the weapons, skills, and specialties of the nine new characters in HoloCure.

Fantasy – Hololive 3rd Generation

Usada Pekora

Usada Pekora’s main weapon is the Rocket Launcher, which fires up to three large carrot missiles at max level, with its damage scaling based on every 100 HoloCoins in the player’s possession. Her Special Attack, 777, activates a slot machine that deals damage to all targets on the screen. If 777 rolls a Jackpot, all enemies are instantly defeated and converted into HoloCoins.

Luck and HoloCoins are central to Pekora’s kit, especially with her three unique skills: Gambler, Pyromaniac, and Lucky Bunny. Collecting HoloCoins boosts not only her damage, ATK, and Crit but also provides healing. Additionally, Pekora’s unique Luck stat enhances the proc chances of her skills and increases item drop rates.

Houshou Marine

Houshou Marine’s main weapon is the Cutlass & Pistol, which combines melee and ranged damage. Despite its dual nature, the weapon is classified as melee, and the bullets fired are not player-controllable. Upon leveling up, the Cutlass transforms into a giant anchor, slashing both forward and backward. Marine’s Special Attack, Miracle Senchou Cannon, continuously fires large cannonballs in the targeted direction, dealing explosive damage.

Marine’s skills, Lust and Dangerous Marine Smell, thrive on nearby enemies, offering healing, damage, and debuffs. Her Pirate Captain skill increases Crit chance when collecting HoloCoins and provides a chance for additional HoloCoins to drop.

Shirogane Noel

Shirogane Noel is a tanky character who scales with Max HP, gaining bonuses to weapon size, damage, and durability. Her main weapon, the Holy Mace, increases in size for every 5 Max HP at max level and summons a holy cross with each swing. Noel’s Special Attack, Knight Cup, grants her 10 seconds of invulnerability while significantly increasing the size of all her weapons.

Her Muscle skill provides periodic damage reduction every 30 seconds, with additional reduction based on weapon size bonuses from items. Meanwhile, her Gyudon skill boosts her Max HP every 30 seconds and further increases her attack power based on her Max HP.

Shiranui Flare

Shiranui Flare is a ranged character who excels with multi-shot weapons, thanks to her Elf Song skill, which increases the number of projectiles fired. Her main weapon, the Splash Gun, fires up to 7 Splash Shots in quick succession at max level, leaving damaging puddles upon impact. Her Special Attack, Flare Blasters, continuously fires three large laser beams at enemy targets for a few seconds.

Flare’s FireMagic skill launches 6 fireballs every 10 seconds, with the number of fireballs further boosted by her Elf Song skill. Her third skill, Shiranui Construction, provides a powerful defensive option, blocking up to 6 attacks at max level and granting 15% haste.

Force – Hololive 4th Generation

Kiryu Coco

The beloved Kiryu Coco returns to Hololive as a playable character, featuring a powerful Special Attack that transforms her into a fire-breathing dragon, rendering her invulnerable to damage. Her unique Dragon Heat Action skill allows her to consume her Special gauge at 50% or 75% instead of waiting for it to fully charge, each level unleashing a different ability. At 50%, Coco fires a barrage of bullets in a straight line, while at 75%, she launches a rocket that deals massive area damage.

Coco’s Dragon of Hololive skill adds a fun twist, causing defeated fans to occasionally drop random objects—such as bicycles and toilets—that Coco can pick up and throw for large amounts of damage. Additionally, her GMMF skill grants lifesteal from all Asacoco weapons while also negating their negative effects.

Amane Kanata

Amane Kanata excels at boss-killing thanks to her Angelic & Gorillic Power skill, which provides up to a 20% attack boost, and her frequent stuns from the 50kg Grip skill. Her kit focuses on generating frequent hit counts, easily achieved through her main weapon, the Angel Shuriken, and her skill, Voice of Heaven.

Kanata also boasts excellent survivability. Her Special Attack, Celestial Song, provides both healing and stuns, while Angelic & Gorillic Power also adds additional healing when facing more durable targets. Furthermore, Voice of Heaven grants up to a 40% SPD increase, allowing Kanata to outmaneuver many enemies with ease.

Tokoyami Towa

Tokoyami Towa is a incredibly strong character who excels with projectile-based attacks. Her kit centers around the Ammo dropped frequently by her Devil’s Familiar skill. Ammo not only boosts the attacks of her main weapon, the Devil Assault Rifle, but also powers her Special Attack, TMDevil Machine Gun. Activating TMDevil Machine Gun grants 100 Ammo and equips Towa with a heavy machine gun that can be fired continuously by holding the Special Attack button.

Towa’s Special Attack has no set duration and only ends when her Ammo count drops to zero. This allows players to prolong the ability by collecting Ammo from Devil’s Familiar. However, managing Ammo is crucial, as her Devil Assault Rifle also consumes Ammo continuously, creating a fun and dynamic challenge to maintain her Special Attack.

Tsunomaki Watame

Tsunomaki Watame is a unique character whose damage output scales with the amount of healing she receives. Her two skills, Have A Nice Day and Borderline Nothing Wrong, work together to allow Watame to share the healing she receives with nearby targets while simultaneously debuffing them to take damage from healing effects. Additionally, her Watame Night Fever!! skill increases her healing output based on her level and grants a significant 25% HP heal every 15 seconds.

Watame’s main weapon, Tsunomaki Harp, requires no aiming, as it passively deals damage to nearby enemies. Her Special Attack, Watame Beam, fires a massive laser in front of her, accompanied by several smaller lasers shooting in multiple directions.

Himemori Luna

Himemori Luna‘s kit revolves around maintaining her Baby Princess buff and triggering additional damage through her stuns. Every time Luna stands still for 1 second, she gains 10 stacks of an ATK and SPD buff, which decreases by one stack for each second she spends moving. While maintaining this may seem challenging, it’s relatively easy to refresh, especially since she automatically gains 10 stacks every 30 seconds, regardless of movement.

Luna’s main weapon, Candy Sword, and her skill, Cute Is Justice, provide frequent stuns to her targets and those nearby. These stuns are crucial for triggering her Naaaaaaaaaa skill, which has a high chance of dealing a large burst of damage against stunned targets.
