The five starters
Five Hololive EN Myth characters are unlocked by default:
- Amelia Watson — HP 75, ATK 1.30x, SPD 1.35x, CRT 10%, size 3 — Pistol Shot
- Gawr Gura — HP 65, ATK 1.10x, SPD 1.40x, CRT 5%, size 1 — Trident Thrust
- Ninomae Inanis — HP 75, ATK 0.90x, SPD 1.50x, CRT 1%, size 1 — Summon Tentacle
- Takanashi Kiara — HP 90, ATK 1.00x, SPD 1.40x, CRT 5%, size 3 — Phoenix Sword
- Mori Calliope — HP 70, ATK 1.15x, SPD 1.30x, CRT 10%, size 4 — Scythe Swing
The other 42: Character Gacha
The remaining 42 idols are obtained through the Character Gacha in the Shop, by spending HoloCoins to pull from each group’s banner. Duplicates raise a character’s G. Rank (up to +20% HP/ATK/SPD at G. Rank 21) rather than adding a new character.
The 11 groups
The roster is grouped by Hololive branch and generation: Myth (5), Holoro (3), GAMERS (4), JP Gen 0 (5), JP Gen 1 (4), JP Gen 2 (5), JP Gen 3 / Fantasy (4), JP Gen 4 / Force (5), Council + Promise (6), Area 15 (3), HoloH3ro (3). Each group is its own gacha banner.
Why the starter matters
A starter weapon sets your early rhythm. A small-hitbox starter (Gura, Inanis — size 1) is the most forgiving way to learn kiting; a high-HP starter (Kiara — 90) lets you brawl. See character stats for the full comparison.
