HARD MODE IS RIDICULOUS! | Holocure STAGE 1 HARD 

What character should I play next!? highest reply wins!!! 🥰🥰

Can confirm that the number 1 cause of death in Holocure is getting snagged in a random obstacle causing you to get swarmed and killed.

Bae isn’t a devil, but she represents the concept of chaos. That’s why her build focuses on crits and random damage (her main attack damage varies based on what number is on the die). She’s also from Australia, which is what “down under” is a reference to. The Reverse stamp is also based on Bae, being another ‘upside down’ Australia joke.

When you level up the gorilla's paw, the damage multiplier goes up but the debuff stays the same.

The ptsd about horses is an incident that happend with Calli, someone use her voice on a AI program to make an... adult audio with a horse. This reached hololive management right before her new cowboy outfit, which supposedly had a skeleton horse but was never released

Bae's special maxes out her haste to 999% so all the weapons attack super fast.

So a few things to note: The RatNG upgrades after the first didn't increase critical chance more, they just reduced the attack debuff. Second, it was indeed a bad idea to go lower critical hit chance on Bae. I'd have also taken the Sake, because any further critical chance increases are good. Also no, critical chance doesn't cap at 50%, it can go all the way to 100% (there's even an achievement for reaching that point). Now, about survival. That early moment when enemies surrounded you and were tightening the net didn't mean you had to run through them. They will disappear once the space you have is reduced to almost nothing. Usually you can deal with that by standing in the middle and waiting, but you need to be able to kill the other enemies that are coming at the same time. That other time where you were surrounded and red areas appeared everywhere could be dealt with by simply killing the bomb enemies. For the ridiculous segment where you died, the way to deal with it is taking note of the different red areas. The line shaped areas are attacks, which you need to focus on dodging, while the circle shaped ones are enemy spawns, so they're a lesser priority. I'd suggest for you to rewatch that part of the video and think of ways you could have moved to avoid them. The main issue was the fact that you panicked and stayed in mostly the same small area, rather than running on a straight line away from the danger zone.

Bae takes a minute to get her weapons and skills rolling (pun intended), but once you do she can straight up MELT bosses with her special.

Down Under isn't a devil reference, she's just Australian.

Generally items with debuffs (gorilla, energy drink, candy, injection) never increase their debuff so once you take level 1 you can max them safely Edit: You can lower weapon opacity in settings>graphics! Highly recommend it!

Bae's skill gives you something like 1000% haste for a moment. As the embodiment of Chaos, her power is "Random B*llsh*t, GO!" Also why she is a Crit character. With most characters, focusing down on a couple things at a time is usually a reasonable play. With Bae, she actually benefits from filling out her weapon slots early on. Since she throws everything everywhere at high speed. Focus comes after that, depending on what you pull per level. For her, there are two Super Collabs she synergizes well with, in particular. Idol Live has a good many projectiles and increases Super rate. And Snow Queen, which is a permanent buff to Crit, with the occasional Freeze/stun.

"So this is a crit character." *Studiously ignores the two items that increase crit chance* *Takes the one item that reduces crit chance* This is the true Holocure experience, lmao. Here, we shoot RGB weapons backwards whilst playing a trumpet; optimisation is optional.

15:10 well if you're really curious about that... (welp, curiosity kills the cat and no amount of satisfaction is gonna revive this one.) The horse thing is because of a certain 4chan post that contained an AI audio of Mori Calliope (the pink haired grim reaper with the scythe) getting *ahem* very intimate with a horse...

For me, Ollie has some of the unique mechanics and skills. Her ninjutsu is so versatile in diffrent situations, she runs so fast easily dodging projectiles, she can also revive knowing that she's a zombie 😅😅. The only down side is that her skills often drains hp too much that you need a decent amount of heals

Bae's special with Micomet is so satisfying to watch

Dude, CEO's Tears is like a minigun when maxed out, will take down fans very, VERy quickly normally. Using Bae's special makes it a literal wall of blue death in all directions, so defiantely a recommended weapon (one of my favourites). For added flavour, max out the Tears and Spider Cooking for a fun shred-all collab with good added defensives

The stats when leveling up items are the new stats after they are leveled, not another stack. Also you can go to the settings to reduce the attack opacity if it is obstructing your view.

if you pay attention, the arrows that show off screen collectables are different colors depending on the collectable iirc the colors are: Gray - anvil Purple - golden anvil/hammer Green - stamp Blue - holozon box

You can help out the bitrate by turning off the damage numbers. As others have also pointed out, you can turn down opacity on your attacks

you can lower the opacity of your attacks in the settings, make em more seethrough or invisible if thats your thing....

You noticed that she's weak early on. That is true, but that could also be attributed to the constant low rolls you got from the dice. Made me chuckle when you mentioned it and you just got a few [ 1 ]s right after...

Another recommendation is looking at which achievements unlock weapons/items. Most require you to reach 10 minutes with specific characters and will allow you more collabs or synergies. Ina (purple tentacle girl) unlocks one, Sana from council unlocks my favourite item and auto pick (up to 300% pick up range), Ollie (zombie from id gen 2), zeta (grey haired from id gen 3) and korone (dog from gamers) are such characters. Probably forgot some people but those are the ones that came to mind.

@15:42 In the settings you can change it so that your healthbar above the character always shows.

tips: - read , reading saves a lot of trouble and runs - check the settings , there's some options on there that might help you - don't get blinded , like on this run you got blinded by enchanted weapons making you go all over the place - try matching the character's traits , skills usually applies on all weapons, , putting a -crit rate on a crit based chara is obviously bad

The last 30 seconds before the boss in the Stage 1 Hard go crazy

I recommend Ninomae Inanis. She has healing skill too, nice for survivability. You will get achievement and unlock more weapon so more collab possibility as well.

those bears with hats are a cursed bubba ref - bubba is ames dog. her actual dog.

You stood still at the end, that was your downfall. Also I think the Fan Beam + CEO Tears and Spider Cooking + EN's Curse collabs is a huge nerf for Bae, as those Collabs have a static cooldown that wouldn't be affected by her Special attack's Haste buff.

Here's some tips for Bae, as well as lore! So Bae is a glass cannon character. Her HP is about average, and she has no recovery skills. But she makes up for it with her giant crits. Her Special, Absolute Chaos, gives you 5 seconds of +10000% Haste, basically making weapons fire as fast as they can (They do have a minimum cooldown, but the special basically puts them to that cooldown) for the duration. With her high damage from crits (You can easily get base like 60% critrate with her when you've got the store maxed out and stuff) she benefits most from slow-firing but high damage weapons. Collabs like Absolute Wall, Stream of Tears, and BL Fujoshi aren't good on her since they don't benefit from Haste, meaning her special does nothing for them. Dragon's Fire and Holy Fire also aren't great since they fire so fast her special barely makes a difference. Collabs like MiComet though that deal high damage over a big area with a slow fire-rate gain tremendous power on her. As for Super Collabs, I like Snow Queen (Snow Flower Sake + Sake) since it gives base Crit, which Bae wants lots of. If you get her to 100% Crit, she just deals 4x damage forever, which can make her out scale even the highest damage scalers like Mumei and Roboco until late game (They will overtake her eventually since they have infinite scaling while she doesn't, but she wins in the midgame hard). Bae works best in my opinion if you build her with damage in mind. You're already gonna be squishy, so instead just "save" all the fans before they reach you! She's probably one of the best users of Hope Soda, because even though her special is amazing, the extra crit damage breaks her. If it works how I think, it turns her 4x crits into 6x crits! Gorilla's Paw isn't great since it lowers your Crit, and since Dragon's Fire and Holy Fire don't benefit much from her special, they're usually not worth grabbing. Face Mask is also good for more base attack speed outside of her special, and a damage multiplier like Gorilla's Paw but without the crit penalty. One of the best items though is Sake, since you want to focus more on dodging with Bae than tanking, and because it Super Collabs into what I think is the best Super Collab for her (Although Idol Live is also great on her). As for lore! Hakos Baelz is the Avatar of Chaos, part of HoloCouncil, the 2nd English Generation of Hololive. Council is meant to be physical manifestations of Aspects made by the gods. So Sana is the Speaker of Space, Fauna is Keeper of Nature, Kronii is Warden of Time, Mumei is Guardian of Civilization, and Bae is Chaos. She's also meant to be the leader of the Council. This is why her kit is so RNG focused, since she's chaos! Her main weapon, Play Dice, is a reference to her first original song of the same name, which is quite a bop in my opinion. Very energetic and chaotic, so if you like fast-paced music I'd recommend it. She also came out with another new original song recently too, but I've not listened to it yet. Finally, her third skill, Down Under, is a reference to the fact that she's Australian... Truly the most chaotic nationality of all. Hope you enjoyed this lore, and found the tips helpful! Once again good luck, and happy HoloCuring!

1. negative on most items (except Halu) only apply once, for example the 20% minus crit chance on gorilla paw stay the same on all 3 level so for 3 levels your only getting -20% not 60%, so it's good to commit 2. Bae's skill RatNG work the same way here but for the 30% crit rate up, at level 3 you'll only get 30% crit, what the level give you is removing gradually the -15% damage you got from level 1 3. super collabing actually remove the negative of the compatible item so getting holy fire is actually the right play if you alreaduy commit to gorilla paw 4. down under is because Bae's Australian

You can tell what item dropped by the color of the arrow pointing to it. Light blue means holo box White means anvil Green is sticker Magenta is gold anvil/gold hammer

I remember my first time playing that and it felt rough with everything doing so much damage, so many projectiles, everything being so tanky, and red circles just everywhere. While the optimal way to win is probably analyze the characters’ kit, items and collabs and then make a build order. You can also do it the cheesy way that I did on my first win and go Fubuki as her aoe damage from skills can melt groups of enemies and do decent damage against bosses until you get good collabs. Fubuki also invalidates that last part where everything is thrown at you because you have your skill dodge, special dodge, and high movement to dodge it yourself. That being said every character is viable and has its own playstyles so play whatever you have fun with. My favorite is Mumei for one of the best early game weapons and a panic button to screen wipe.

if something becomes better or worse the numbers would change 1.2 dmg multiplayer becomes 1.3 crit chance -20% would become -30% if it was becoming worse. when the numbers remain the same its unchanged.

Bae (her nickname) is not referencing any demons, or to hell, Baelz is just her literal name, and her skill Down under is just making fun of her for being an Aussie. Also in the achievents section of the game you can see some items and their unlock options. Maybe look at them and try doing that.

It was a great first run. Not sure I'm adding anything but a couple of things to make the next run a little easier on you. The more you use a character/win the higher they rank thus becoming stronger. Leveling up in the shop unfortunately doesn't do it alone as I found with unplayed characters as they die a lot easier in more difficult levels. Achieving the no character skill challenge will unlock the Beetle item which essentially adds phenomenal damage to character skills and be upgraded 3 times. Monkey paw cab be effectively countered with Kusogaki Shackles unlocked by using Shion as it reduces all negative effects of items up to I think 100% when maxed out. This and Assacoco injection are super effect as it deals major damage without sapping your health. Other than that Amelia is really fun to use and her rapid fire timegun super satisfying in how it mows down enemies when Maxed out.

-20% crit chance on gorilla paw is not additional crit chance subtraction. It was already subtracted

31:10 In all the harder stages, you'll get used to the different patterns. In this case, the red circle patterns were staggered. While standing still to stay in a safe zone is sometimes the correct play, standing in the red-zone like what was done here wasn't optimal.

You should've gone all in on crit items early and the technique you need to "dodge that" is "get good scrub" 😂😂

A maxed out bae with gachikoi and food buffs can reach 95% crit rate on ranged and multishot weapons with only focus shades, so you can run other things like more atk or defensive options

> asking about the skills > not reading the skills at the selection screen.

"How am I supposed to dodge that!?" By not standing still~ Seriously, if you just run in one direction, chances are you'll dodge like 80% of the damage. It also helps if you have a special that gives you invulnerability, but bae can honestly just shred anything coming at her without needing any defense. On that subject, if you pick up the idol costume, you really should use your special more often, even in situations where you don't feel like you need it to survive. Because it drastically decreases the special meter, making it available very quickly. So holding on to your special while ya have the dress maxed is somewhat of a waste of an item slot.

Bae works best with quick and multiple hitting weapons. Because her critical damages can get pretty insane.

I recoiled when gorilla's hand was picked

btw as soon as you pick a item with negative effects , such as paw in this run, you are better of maxing it out, since it doesnt add more negative stats after the initial pickup (lv 1) edit: oh i just got to the part where you asked about it xD

I would love you to play with Kobo Kanaeru! she is so cute, and her ultimate its so fun to play and very usefull, shes a kusogaki irl and i just love her.

Bullet hell part of the game is brutal lol, You have to pay attention to what order the AoE indicarors show up, 90% of the time it's the same order as the attacks, so you have to dodge by going into an AoE and then run from there lol

En curse+Cutting Board is a great Collab but you unlock cutting board by reaching 10 minutes with Ina

Just a little recommendation from me is to not get as many weapons at once. You had many weapons but overall collabs are better than just having 6 weapons. You also dillute your pool. If you only have the 2 weapons needed for a collab you will be more likely to get one of the 2 on level up. This results in getting to collabs quicker which will take a lot of pressure off you. The more weapons you have the less likely it is you get the ones you want to collab. Also the gorilla paw is bad for crit builds. Sure the super collab removes the debuff but it would be s.arter to go for the sake collab with a crit build.

Korone is a really fun character, punches galore!

that was painful to see you pick the gorilla paw and ignoring the sake and gws pill with bae

Oh how unlucky. You didn't get the super collab and didn't even win either. You can turn off damage numbers and lower the weapons opacity so it won't lag much. To see if you got something to collab with, on the right when you level up you can check the weapons

you ask how to survive that? in the words of the fromsoft fandom, "get gud"

20:45 paw needs to be maxed.

As you observed, Bae is not a great character to go for that particular super collab, as the Gorilla Paw is basically the worst item you could take with her. Really nerfs the build until you make the collab.

I’d recommend turning down the weapon opacity a bit, especially for Baelz… especially on the hard stages…

16:05 no. also try it to find out.

31:08 git gud
