Kite, do not stand
Holocure is a positioning game wearing a shooter’s clothes. The single habit that keeps runs alive is the wide circle: move constantly, never let the swarm close. Your size stat is your hitbox — a smaller size (Gura, Inanis at size 1) dodges more than a big-HP character can tank.
Escaping the corner
Corners kill. If the arena edges fill, cut across the middle before you are boxed. Speed buffs are survival, not luxury — SPD ranges 1.20x to 1.60x across the roster, and that spread is the difference between a clean run and a death.
Panic buttons
Your Special and any screen-clear are for the moment you are about to die. Spend them there, not on chip damage. A character whose Special clears a screen is worth learning before one with a passive boost. See best characters for the Special trade-off.
