With over 54 Holomems available across the JP, English, Indonesia, and DEV_IS branches, choosing your first favorite can be surprisingly difficult.
Since the game has only just launched, there isn’t enough gameplay data to rank characters by damage, support, or endgame performance. Instead, this launch tier list focuses on overall popularity, community appeal, and beginner recommendations. We’ll update it once players discover the strongest skills and team compositions.

SS Tier Characters
These Holomems are among the biggest names in Hololive and are excellent choices if you’re unsure who to pick first.
Hoshimachi Suisei
One of Hololive’s biggest stars and an incredible singer. If you enjoy rhythm games, Suisei feels like a natural first pick because music is such a huge part of her identity.
Gawr Gura
Probably the most recognizable Hololive English member worldwide. Even players who don’t normally watch VTubers usually recognize Gura thanks to her viral popularity.
Usada Pekora
Pekora is one of Hololive’s most iconic personalities. Her energetic style and massive fanbase make her an easy recommendation for beginners.
Houshou Marine
Marine has remained one of Hololive’s most popular members for years. She’s an excellent choice if you want one of the franchise’s biggest icons.
Mori Calliope
A favorite among English-speaking fans. Her music career and popularity make her one of the safest launch picks.
Shirakami Fubuki
One of Hololive’s original stars and a fan favorite. Fubuki is recognizable even outside the Hololive community.
Sakura Miko
Known for her cheerful personality and countless memorable moments. She’s another excellent long-term favorite.
Tokino Sora
The original Hololive member. If you want to start your collection with the face of Hololive itself, Sora is a fantastic option.
S Tier Characters
These characters are incredibly popular and are expected to be common beginner picks.
- Shishiro Botan
- Tokoyami Towa
- Inugami Korone
- Nekomata Okayu
- Hakos Baelz
- Ouro Kronii
- Ninomae Ina’nis
- Takanashi Kiara
- Kobo Kanaeru
- Kaela Kovalskia
- Vestia Zeta
Each has a massive following and would make an excellent addition to any starting account.
A Tier Characters
This tier contains the majority of Hololive’s roster. Many of these members have huge fanbases, memorable personalities, and could easily move into higher tiers once gameplay data becomes available.
Don’t be surprised if future updates reveal that one of these characters ends up being among the strongest in the game.
B Tier Characters
These Holomems are still great additions to your collection, but they’re currently placed here simply because they have slightly less worldwide recognition compared to the biggest Hololive names.
This does not mean they’re weak. Some could easily become top-tier once players fully understand the game’s mechanics.
Which Character Should You Choose?
If you’re already a Hololive fan, the answer is easy—pick your favorite member. You’ll likely spend dozens or even hundreds of hours with them, so personal preference matters more than chasing an early meta.
If you’re completely new to Hololive, I’d recommend starting with one of these eight:
- Hoshimachi Suisei
- Gawr Gura
- Usada Pekora
- Mori Calliope
- Houshou Marine
- Shirakami Fubuki
- Sakura Miko
- Tokino Sora
They’re some of the most recognizable faces in the franchise and are excellent introductions to the Hololive universe while you learn the game’s mechanics.
We’ll continue updating this tier list as the community discovers the strongest skills, passive abilities, team compositions, and endgame strategies. This launch version is designed to help new players choose a great starting Holomem without feeling overwhelmed by the game’s massive roster.
