why are the hololive members so unusably expensive?

[Papa john]

you will almost never even be able to use them due to how insanely expensive they are
seems like there's no point in actually getting them

[Harouki]

They seem to be more of a last resort during maps with Flags/Bosses

Granted, if you don't level the frontline members like Noel, they'll die to the boss instantly anyway

[Yennime]

The reason why their expensive: Insanely high stat growth, can only field one of them at a time so you can't have 2 Pekoras on the field at the same time, and they have a large aoe atk.

[ocefur]

they don't all attack you can only field one of each talent but you can have more than one talent on the field. I.E. I had all of myth on the field at once. the price does seem considerably hard making it almost impossible to have a full team of hololive talents. I assume the idea was that you would choose your ohshi(general) and troops.

[Necrobern]

If you get Bubba you can speed up the currency very early on. I also use Okayu so once both are together with a high motivation you can start spamming units.

[AL]

If you rush the voltage to lv7 quick with cheap units, you'll be able to summon a hololive chara in every map consistently and then spamming the cheap units as meat shield while your holomem does the actual damage is quite a viable strat

In fact, adopting a 7+1 or 6+2 strategy is very powerful. That is, 6-7 lower-level minions combined with 2-1 holo members

This team is an example of a 6+2 strategy

yep people complaining bout the holomem costs just are basically just brute forcing the game. have to play the voltage symphony right, the price for holomems (except a few who are really too expensive like fbk) are justified because of their power you also cannot get dupes of them. you need to play with the mascots and balance out their costs so you can rush voltage asap. after you get voltage 7-8 you can pretty much spam units on top of deploying 2 holomems.

How to level up voltage asap? I'm still not clear on this

[FallenAmberCloud]

need to summon different instrument types only once in battle, to level up the voltage.

And you need to make sure those instruments are active while building up motivation to use others too.

[alchemest2001]

I feel like a lot of people want to use hololive members rather than be forced not to use them. the voltage mechanic also discourages you from using them.

Currently on 4th chapter and I don't have any issues summoning 3 holomem (Noel, Senchou, Suichan) I just stall with all tanks while getting enough to summon Noel/Suichan and I'll have too much motivation to use even if I spam all summons.

Though I do get that in early chapters, it's almost impossible to summon them before clearing the stage

I currently still use knight, then yukimin as a secondary tank, then both nousagi and nekko for slowing down the wave if needed since both are 1 cost. My strat is just wait for 4 motivation at start to summon both tanks, then wait for 2 to summon both 1 cost, and let them stall with just the 4 of them.

[Hurkyl]

Watamate is another good tank. Although it has a high movement speed, which may be good or bad depending on what you're looking for.
