The Character Gacha screen, with HoloEN Myth selected.
The Character Gacha allows the player to acquire Characters and alternate costumes. The gachas are subdivided into multiple different banners (see below), separated by the different hololive branches and generations. Each banner contains up to six different characters. The characters are randomly selected from each banner and only one character can be acquired for each pull.
Each gacha roll costs 1,000 
HoloCoins to purchase. Gacha rolls can be bought one at a time, or multiple rolls at once up to 10.

Gacha mechanics
The player can use Tears to redeem a character or alternate outfit.
Character drop rate
There are no official drop rates for the characters but it is assumed that all characters have equal chances of appearing.
G. Rank
Whenever the player receives a duplicate character from a gacha pull, that character's G. Rank increases by 1, providing a permanent bonus of +1 HP, +1% ATK, and +1% SPD. This bonus can stack up to 20 times for a maximum bonus of +20% for each stat. As each character starts at G. Rank 1, with no bonuses provided, the maximum bonus is reached at G. Rank 21.
It is possible to receive duplicates even if your character already has reached maximum bonuses. When this happens, the character's G. Rank will still increase, but the character will not receive any additional bonuses. It is currently unknown if this is an intended mechanic or not. G. Rank bonuses can be disabled by toggling on the 
G Rank Off upgrade, which is purchasable at no HoloCoin cost.
Raising a character's G. Rank is also a requirement to receive Fandom boosts for that character.
Gambler's Tears
Players obtain a Gambler's Tear every time they receive a duplicate character.[1] 7 Tears can be used to redeem any specific character, and 15 Tears can be used to redeem an alternate outfit for some characters. Gamblers Tears are exclusive to the banner they were obtained from and cannot be used on other banners.

Trivia
- It is presumed that the "G" in "G. Rank" stands for "gacha" but there is no official statement about it.
- Gambler's Tears' name is inspired by the experience of hololive members losing everything to Rust's gambling system.[2][3] It's likely also a reference to the tears of gacha players both in HoloCure and in general.
- Kay wanted to implement Gambler's Tears earlier but couldn't due to time constraint.[4]
- "Council + Promise" (formerly "Council + Hope") is and will likely remain to be the banner with the most characters in HoloCure. This is due to Cover Corp. typically debuting a new generation with 3 to 5 members.
- As its former name implies the banner combined members from Hololive English Council (Bae, Kronii, Fauna, Mumei, Sana) and Hololive English Project: HOPE (IRyS). This is because IRyS was usually considered a de facto member of Council under the group name "CouncilRyS" due to the Project: Hope being an interim project that debuted only a month before Council. CouncilRyS was later formalized as Promise after Sana's graduation, replacing both Council and Project: Hope as an official generation.
- The only other case which could result in a banner with over 5 members is with Holostars JP which officially combined its first three generation into a single unit also name Holostars. If implemented in that form, it would result in a banner with 9~12 characters depending on Kay's research into Holostar short-lived members.
- HoloCure's banner uses the generation's official name instead of their numbered name when possible.
- Generation name was first used for Hololive GAMERS (which is unofficially JP Gen 2.5) and is implemented for all subsequent generation of both Hololive and Holostars. The exception to this was HoloCN and HoloID Gen 1 due to both debuting before the policy was applied to foreign branches. ID Gen 1 would later gain the name AREA 15 based on the name of their monthly collab stream.
