Tier List
Introduction
The Holomem Tier List ranks every holomem in hololive Dreams based on rhythm-game scoring impact, quest DPS, leader skill value, and PvP versatility. S-tier holomem scale strongly with investment and remain top picks in most situations; A-tier holomem are excellent specialists who rival S-tier in their niche; B-tier are situational picks with strong use cases in specific content; C-tier are usable but generally outclassed by newer releases. Rankings reflect the launch-week meta and will be updated after major patches, so always check the last-updated timestamp before trusting the order. Use this list alongside the Holomem category to decide which units to invest XP books into and which banners to prioritize in the next gacha cycle, and pair it with the Charts category for genre-specific leader recommendations.

Core Mechanics
Tier rankings combine rhythm score impact, quest DPS contribution, leader skill value, and PvP versatility. We weight rhythm score highest because it gates daily quests and weekly milestones; quest DPS second because it gates the longest progression wall; PvP third because ranked rewards are time-limited. S-tier picks score in the top 10% across at least three of these axes; A-tier picks score in the top 25% with one dominant axis; B-tier picks are situational specialists; C-tier picks are usable but generally outclassed by newer releases. Each holomem entry links to a detailed Holomem page that breaks down the same axes with concrete numbers, so the tier list acts as a quick-reference layer rather than the only source of truth for your roster decisions.
Advantages
The tier list helps you prioritize which holomem to build first. S-tier picks give the best return on XP books and stay relevant across most content. A-tier picks are excellent alternatives with specific strengths that can rival S-tier in the right team composition. Because every holomem can be pulled from the gacha (with a 100-pull pity system), you can freely test and compare holomem without financial barriers, and the featured-rate-up mechanic makes it cheap to chase one specific unit per banner cycle. Pair the tier list with the Holomem category and the Gacha category for a complete pull-and-build plan, plus the Charts category for genre-specific leader recommendations that shift some rankings in specific situations.
Challenges
Tier rankings are launch-week snapshots — expect movement as the meta settles, especially for B-tier specialists once new content is added. Some holomem scale strongly only at high investment levels (full holomem board, maxed skills), so a low-level B-tier may outperform an unbuilt S-tier. The list focuses on general-purpose value; for specific content like Master charts or boss quests, see the dedicated guides in the Charts and Quests categories. Holomem tagged with the Formation-Buffer leader skill often shift in tier when a new holomem of the same generation joins the standard pool, so re-check before committing resources, and pair the Tier List with the Holomem category board-unlock-cost table to budget XP books effectively.

Quick Tips
Build at least one strong leader from each generation (JP/EN/ID) — the formation tag bonuses add up fast and let you swap leaders for specific content without losing too much value. A balanced roster across generations also unlocks the cross-generation combo bonuses in park placement, which are a significant chunk of late-game passive income and easy to miss if you only chase a single banner archetype. The Holomem category generation column makes the roster gaps obvious at a glance.
Do not sleep on A-tier specialists for song-specific leaderboards — many Master charts reward a leader whose skill matches the song genre more than raw tier-list rank, and the difference between an S-tier generalist and an A-tier genre specialist on a matching chart is often smaller than the tier letter suggests. Cross-reference the Charts category recommended-holomem column before finalizing your build order for each song, and the Tier List genre-tag column makes the matchup obvious at a glance.
Save your pity for rate-up banners of holomem you actually plan to use as a leader — featured rate-up is 50% but only if you pull on that specific banner, and pity carries over across all banners of the same type. Plan two pity windows per cycle and use the Tier List to pick the two highest-priority targets; this rule alone will keep your roster competitive without burning gems on off-banner filler, and the Gacha category banner calendar tracks every active window in a single view for easy planning.
