hololive Dreams
Getting started
Start by reaching Chapter 1, Episode 8. Unlock daily quests, the board and HoloWork, then build one team around a favorite leader. If you get stuck, check the objective and live settings before spending more materials.
First goal: Chapter 1, Episode 8
Unlock daily quests
Advance the main quest to open daily objectives.
Start board training
Choose your current leader and members before spending board materials.
Unlock HoloWork
Check the available jobs and rewards before sending members to work.
Make Chapter 1, Episode 8 your first milestone. Open the daily features before spending heavily on optional upgrades.
Advance quests and unlock your favorite
- Read the current main-quest objective
Follow the requested activity—such as a live, conversation or construction. If you cannot find the destination, open the top-left map, select its icon and use 「近くに移動」 (move nearby).
- Gather the materials required for the next build
Check the construction requirements first, then gather the missing amount. Leave unrelated upgrades until later so you retain materials for the next objective.
- Check member quests to play as your favorite
Owning a card does not automatically unlock its talent as a leader. Complete that talent’s member quest. If it is not available, continue the quests you can access and check again when new encounters appear.
Choose your first team to train
Start with one team for clearing songs. Expand your roster once you know which upgrades that team needs.
- Match members to the leader effect
Read the leader effect and identify its type or group requirements. Check which of your cards benefit before choosing by rarity alone. The team guide includes concrete five-card examples.
- Choose upgrades based on why you fail
If you run out of life, check your available recovery and judgment-support skills. If you finish but miss a score target, review leader synergy and scoring skills. Remove recovery only when you can finish reliably.
- After Episode 6, train the members you use
Read who each space affects and what it improves, then prioritize effects relevant to your current team. With limited materials, focus on your regular members. Connect-card effects and ranges vary; compare the board before and after placement.
The focus-on-your-main-team approach also draws on a player’s training report. It is not a universal board route; choose spaces that fit your cards and their effects.
When you get stuck in a live
Failing on EASY or NORMAL
Practice on a lower-level chart within reach. Tap at the judgment line and hold long notes to their end. After a miss, focus on the next note instead of trying to recover the one already gone.
Notes are too crowded to read
Adjust note speed in small steps and compare on the same song. Too fast leaves little reaction time; too slow can crowd the pattern. Choose a speed you can read rather than copying another player’s number.
Repeated early or late judgments
Note speed and timing calibration do different jobs. Use a comfortable chart to check whether judgments consistently lean early or late. Change one setting at a time so you can tell what helped.
Finishing a song did not complete the quest
Recheck the required song, difficulty and score condition. For score objectives, review training and team synergy as well as your play. Do not keep replaying a song without checking the requirement.
Try HARD once you can finish your current charts reliably. Check each song’s level; there is no need to finish every NORMAL chart before trying an approachable HARD one.
What to spend and what to save
Card-training materials → current team
Train the cards you regularly use. Before switching, compare skills and leader requirements as well as rarity. You do not need to raise every unused card immediately.
Board materials → useful spaces
Pick a member and relevant effect before spending. If spreading upgrades leaves you short, pause side projects and gather for your main team. Do not spend on the assumption that resets are free.
Building materials → reserve quest requirements
Before upgrading a facility, check the next construction or unlock requirement. Look at rewards before choosing a live or minigame to farm. Choose an activity that gives the material you actually need.
Gacha currency → wait for a clear target
Do not treat every early obstacle as a reason to pull. Check the desired talent or outfit, rates and exchange conditions first. Do not budget around launch gifts mentioned in older guides.
A simple daily routine
- Read daily objectives before playing
After Chapter 1, Episode 5, check the day’s requirements first. Start with objectives that overlap with songs you want to play or materials you need. Claim completed rewards.
- Check gifts and available member quests
For gifts that display an expiry date, claim those expiring soon first. If a quest for a talent you want is available, make it an unlock goal. Otherwise continue the main quest.
- Check HoloWork before leaving
After Chapter 1, Episode 8, check completed work and available jobs. Follow the job requirements and rewards shown in the game.
You can play without boost. Use it when you want increased rewards; you do not need a recovery item for every practice attempt.
What to do after Episode 8
Reached Chapter 1, Episode 8
Continue toward member training at Chapter 2, Episode 3. Check the requirements for cards you use rather than preparing to train your entire collection in advance.
Cannot find a favorite song
Search the song catalog and check its unlock conditions. Some songs are tied to member quests; progressing the main story alone does not necessarily unlock everything.
Want to join an event
Check entry requirements and dates first. As a new player, target the story and reachable rewards before high ranks. A team for event points may differ from your usual high-score team.
Your early-game checklist
- Reached Chapter 1, Episode 8 and unlocked daily quests, the board and HoloWork.
- Unlocked a leader and built one team around its effect.
- Found a chart you can clear and identified your next material or unlock goal.
