AZKi
AZKi is one of the playable characters in HoloCure - Save the Fans!. She belongs to the group JP Gen 0 and can be unlocked through the Character Gacha. Her Main Weapon is Diva Song, her Special Attack is
Geo Queen, and she has three other unique skills:
Virtual Saber,
Geographer, and
Encore!.
AZKi, alongside the rest of JP Gen 0 and GAMERS, was added to the game in Version 0.4.
Main Weapon
- Main article: Diva Song
- The awakened form's additional notes do not benefit from the effects of Anvil enhancements.
- Diva Song's main projectile and the additional notes of the Awakened form are affected by the area increases of
Knightly Milk and
Size Up Stamp.
Special Attack
- Geo Queen's pull effect makes no distinction between regular and boss-type enemies.
Skills
- Markers last for 10 seconds.
- The 5 second duration mentioned in the skill description is the time Geographer's buffs last after AZKi leaves the marker's area-of-effect. As long as AZKi stays within the marker's area, she gains the buffs until the marker expires.
Overview and Tips
Fitting for a diva who lives on the stage, AZKi follows a "king of the hill"-style gameplay where she greatly benefits from staying within the zones of Geo Queen and
Geographer. She is encouraged to move fairly little and instead let targets come to her or force them into a single spot with the Geo Queen Special, which she should cast as often as possible. These targets can then be attacked with
Encore! and
Virtual Saber alongside any weapons, maximising hits and thus damage. On the other hand, AZKi also has a good speed value, so if she does get overwhelmed she can generally move away to a more advantageous location (usually another zone spawned by Geographer).
- To maximise the utility of her skills,
Idol Costume is ideal for AZKi as it lets her cast Geo Queen (and thus force targets into a single spot) much more often. Relatedly,
Devil Hat will then increase her damage even further because it applies its buff to non-melee weapons right after the Special - exactly when AZKi would need it most.
- Due to being encouraged to stay mostly in one place,
Rock Hard Stamp is a great multiplier for AZKi's weapons' damage output.
Beetle buffing her skills is also very helpful.

Trivia
- Before Version 0.7, all of AZKi's skills (and her weapon
Diva Song) were based on her status as one of hololive's VSingers alongside
IRyS.
- The use of "Diva" (
Diva Song,
Virtual Diva) is directly inspired by AZKi's full name and title being Virtual Diva AZKi.[1]
Encore!,
Full Concert, and
Performance are based on her activities at INNK where she primarily does real concerts. Extended COVID-19 lockdown and the end of the original project plan for AZKi would result in her transition towards more streaming-focused content later on.[2]
- The use of "Diva" (
- The icon for her former skill
Virtual Diva was based on the the second iteration of her design by late artist Kogecha.
- AZKi's 2nd outfit is the one she is known for after she joined INoNaKa Music (INNK), which was a music label and independent sub-branch of hololive.
- This outfit was added to HoloCure as an alternative outfit in Version 0.6.
- AZKi's third alternative outfit for HoloCure with its more idol-like appearance is based on her third design, which was the result of a restructuring of her character and activities (known as "Route Beta", as opposed to "Route Alpha" which would have seen her graduate after finishing a pre-planned timeline of activities under INNK)[2] in early 2021, which eventually led to AZKi joining hololive as a member of JP Gen 0 following the dissolution of INNK as a separate entity in April 2022. At the time when AZKi was added in Version 0.4, the third design was her latest outfit.
- AZKi's first alternative outfit, which was introduced in Version 0.5, is based on her first design before she debuted under INNK.
- The
Virtual Saber skill is likely a reference to the Holo no Graffiti episode titled "[Anime] Babysittr",[3] in which AZKi is briefly seen wielding a saber near-identical to the one in the skill's icon. This scene quickly became a meme, especially within AZKi's community following the release of the episode, and was even discussed by AZKi herself on a later stream.[4]
Geo Queen and
Geographer are part of AZKi's kit rework in Version 0.7 to make her gameplay more distinct and incorporate her fourth design, along with referencing her newly-found love and affinity for the game GeoGuessr.
