I have implemented the following updates for HoloParade:

■ Implementation of New Talents

Five new talents from the 2nd Generation have been added. They can be obtained through the newly introduced 2nd Generation gacha.
Each talent possesses unique abilities!

■ Implementation of Hololive Members’ Original Song Arrangements

Added new BGM tracks for stages, featuring five Holoparade arrangements of Hololive members’ original songs.
These tracks are newly composed and arranged by Yamada Kuriko.

■ Addition of New DLC

Released costume DLC with songs for Minato Aqua and Usada Pekora!
You can set Pekorandombrain! and #Aqua Iro Palette as the BGM during talent parades, with the original vocals included.
Each DLC also includes a gift code to scout the corresponding talent.

■ Addition of New Stages

- New special stage series, "UR Only Parade," limited to UR Hololive members, added.
- Available after clearing Story Chapter 2, accessible from the Events tab.
- Added high-difficulty stages to the "Mascot Parade," where only mascots can be deployed.
- New event stages, "Trial of Black" and "Trial of Gold," added.
- Additional floors have been implemented in the Endless Trials.

Surprises await in Levels 2 and 3 of the Member-Exclusive Parade, so don’t miss out!

■ Implementation of Status Effects

The following status effects have been implemented:
Poison, Burn, Freeze, and Stun.
A help page detailing these effects has been added to the menu on the left side of the Home screen.

Poison:
Inflicts HP damage per attack based on the poison stack value.
Poison stacks gradually decay and are removed when depleted.
Reapplying poison before it’s cleared adds to the stack.
The amount of poison applied depends on the attacker’s attack power and poison application rate.

Burn:
Inflicts HP damage per second based on the burn stack value.
Reduces healing effectiveness by 50% during the burn duration.
Stack application and decay mechanics are the same as Poison.

Stun / Freeze:
Renders the target unable to act during the effect duration.
Cancels attacks if applied mid-attack.
New effects overwrite existing ones (effects do not stack).

Poison deals more damage than Burn at the same stack value, but since it triggers with each attack, it is particularly effective against fast-attacking enemies. Burn provides consistent damage over time and hinders healing, making it versatile against all enemies.

Status effects are applied even if the attack is blocked, making them an effective counter against guard-heavy enemies, including those with black or gold auras.
These abilities are displayed in the status screen and can be filtered for easy access.

Freeze, which was previously limited to certain talents, has been strengthened and reintroduced as a formal status effect.

With this update, status effect application abilities have been added or adjusted for some existing talents.

■ Changes to the Skill Obtain System

Previously, only three skills could be equipped, making it difficult to switch them freely.
With this update, skills that have been unlocked will be permanently learned and selectable at any time, regardless of the three-slot limit.
This allows players to customize their talents with skills suited for each stage.

Up to five skill combinations can be saved, and each team configuration remembers its associated skill set.
Unlocked skills are now acquired randomly from “unlearned skills,” enabling players to progressively enhance their talents.
Higher-ranked skills may still be acquired randomly depending on luck.
The cost of unlocking skills after reaching max level has been adjusted from 1000 to 2000 coins, ensuring no wasted currency due to randomness.
Additionally, skills already equipped are more likely to evolve into higher-tier versions.

■ New Skills Implementation

Poison Stack Ratio: Increases the poison stack applied during attacks.

Avoid Poison Rate: Grants a chance to nullify incoming poison.

Poison Specialist: Greatly increases poison application at the cost of reduced attack power.

Burn Stack Ratio, Burn Avoid Rate, Burn Specialist: Same mechanics for Burn effects.

Lifesteal:
Recovers HP based on a portion of damage dealt.
For area attacks, recovery is halved.
When HP is below 50%, recovery increases proportionally (up to 2x).

Knockback Avoid Rate:
Grants a chance to nullify knockbacks.

Poison and Burn-related offensive and defensive skills have been added.
Lifesteal enhances the survivability of frontline attackers, while Knockback Avoid Rate strengthens shield roles to maintain the front line.

■ Coin Drops from Enemy Units and Tour Improvements

Coins now drop from defeated enemies, with the amount displayed next to the elapsed time at the top of the screen.
Stronger enemies drop more coins, and defeating large numbers of enemies yields proportional rewards, benefiting players even in prolonged battles.

Coins dropped during Tours are quadrupled, making them a lucrative source of income.
Tour BGM now features random HoloParade arrangements of Hololive members’ original songs added in this update.
To accommodate the increasing uses for coins due to added characters, overall coin acquisition has been increased, particularly during mid-to-late game stages.

■ Miscellaneous Adjustments

- Increased the follower cap for Public Relations from 6 million to 10 million.
- Raised coin rewards from mini-games.
- Boosted coin rewards from the support card "Omikuji" (base value depends on the average level of deployed talents).
- Updated boss defeat transitions to switch from boss BGM to normal BGM.
- Adjusted HP recovery display to show the full recovered amount (e.g., recovering 100 HP from a 50 HP deficit displays "100").
- Added effects to certain stage backgrounds.

Please continue to enjoy the HoloParade!

🎺Update Information for 5/1🎺

I have implemented the following updates for #HoloParade:

・Changes to A-chan's Power-Up Options Through Deck Pre-organization
　　Previously, during the parade, power-ups were chosen randomly from four options at each level up.
　　I have changed this so that power-ups now follow the pre-organized order of the deck.
　　This eliminates the random uncertainties during the parade, allowing for complete control
　　through formation. You can strategize whether to extend the range from the early stages or to delay
　　range increases until the latter half to avoid pushing the front line too early. Additionally,
　　we have removed the need to check, decide, and select from options with each level up,
　　thus eliminating the hassle during repeated stage plays.

The Power-Up deck is initially available in eight user-friendly versions, and you can edit the deck,
　　including changing its name, as needed. There is also a Help & Tips page available, which you can
　　check from the menu on the left side of the home screen.

In accordance with the above, I have revised the descriptions regarding A-chan's power-ups in
　　tutorial of 1-3 and on the Help & Tips page.

・Instrument Switching / Unleash State Now Saved Per Parade Formation
　　Previously, the state of instrument switching and ability unleashing was saved for each talent
　　individually. With this change, these are now saved per parade formation. As a result, the state of
　　the parade formation can now be fully saved and reproduced.

・Noel Milk Possession Cap and Alternative Addition Upon Acquisition
　　Noel Milk has typically been acquired more frequently than it is used, leading to a surplus as the
　　game progresses. Therefore, I have set a possession cap of 100 for Noel Milk, and if this
　　cap is reached, 1000 coins will be obtained instead. This change is also reflected in the
　　gacha screen display.

Additionally, if more than 100 are already possessed at startup, the possession will be
　　adjusted to 100, and the excess amount will automatically grant 1000 coins per excess unit.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could also help me by leaving a review on Steam.
Please continue to enjoy the HoloParade!

I have implemented the following updates for #HoloParade:

■ Update Details
・Implementation of Skill Upgrade
　　After reaching Lv30, you will now earn Skill Upgrade points every 40 Skill obtaining.
　　You can perform a Skill Upgrade by consuming one point in the Talent Upgrade screen, 　　
　　selecting one of the possessed skills, and upgrading it (to one rank higher within the same type).
　　Gold is the highest rank.Aiming for the highest rank previously incurred extremely high costs for
　　refining skills. Considering the addition of high-difficulty stages in recent updates, I have made it
　　easier to refine skills.
　　
　　In high-difficulty stages, the most crucial aspects are formation and gameplay. The stages are
　　designed to be sufficiently clearable without refining skills. However, by selectively refining
　　your skills, you can expand the range of viable formations and create more opportunities for
　　your favorite characters to shine.

・Added selection of Featured Talents in Scout Gacha
　　You can now specify Featured Talents for each gacha. By designating a desired talent as Featured,
　　it becomes easier to obtain than other talents of the same rarity.
　　Normally, unobtained talents are more likely to appear, and if there is a duplicate, an automatic
　　re-draw occurs once. However, talents designated as Featured are not subject to automatic
　　re-draws even if duplicated.

The probabilities for each rarity, such as UR or SR, remain unchanged, so there is no significant
　　impact on game balance. This setup makes it easier for players to personally draw their favorite
　　talents.

・Added consideration for when a talent that is fully limit-broken appears in Scout Gacha
　　Previously, if a talent that was fully limit-broken was scouted, nothing was obtained. Now, you can
　　receive either 5,000 coins or a scout ticket randomly.
　　Additionally, as compensation to players who have already fully maxed out limit breaks, scout tickets
　　equal to the number of fully limit-broken talents and 5,000 coins per talent will be granted at
　　startup.
　　Example: If there are 5 fully limit-broken talents, you will receive 5 scout tickets and 25,000 coins.

・Added synergy effects:
　　AmeSame
　　TakaMori
　　PekoMoona

・Increased coin acquisition from tours:
　　Below are the total coins obtained upon clearing the last stage of each tour (Old → New)
　　(Names are hidden to avoid spoilers)
　　Tour 1: 4,200 → 5,400
　　Tour 2: 9,200 → 11,600
　　Tour 3: 16,000 → 20,800
　　Tour 4: 26,000 → 31,000

This update has two main objectives:
For casual players, we have made it easier to obtain desired characters and slightly increased the amount of money earned from tours, allowing them to reach the end credits more easily.
For core players, we are alleviating the tedium and stress associated with progressing through end-game content and aiming for status caps by implementing things like skill evolution.

As always, there are players who find the game easy and others who find it unreasonably difficult, resulting in a significant disparity. I plan to continue exploring ways (such as enhancing guides) to help players grasp the nuances of gameplay more effectively.

Please continue to enjoy Holoparade!

I have implemented a major update for HoloParade!

I'll introduce the highlights with images below.
(Details are provided in text at the bottom of the page.)

Update Overview

Update Details

■New Content Added

・Added NePoLaBo (5th generation) and 7 mascots
　　　Newly recorded voices of Lamy and Botan are included!

・Added the mini-game "Dancing Subaru"
　　　Subaru Oozora (in duck form) got caught up in a dance battle!
　　　Watch your rival's dance, and learn and mimic the choreography and rhythm.

・Implemented the event stage "KONKON World"
　　　Event stage where you can acquire and limit break mascots related to Fubuki!
　　　The mascots included are Sukonbu, Nejimaki Fox, Oruyanke, and Miteiru.
　　　It unlocks after clearing Story 1 (permanent stage).

・The swimsuit outfit for Fubuki with KONKON Beats BGM is now available as DLC
　　　The DLC is available for purchase: Steam Store page
　　　　*Currently, this is not compatible with the Mac OS.
　　　After purchase, you can change Shirakami Fubuki's outfit to a swimsuit from the
　　　formation screen. This DLC also introduces the first Hololive song BGM in
　　　Holoparade! It includes the original song version sung by Fubuki-san and a brass
　　　arrangement version tailored for Holoparade. You can set the BGM for any
　　　UR talent in advance, and when the talent marches, the BGM changes with
　　　a cut-in to enhance the parade atmosphere! While this BGM features
　　　Fubuki-san's song, it can be set for any UR talent.

・Added the event stage "Mascot Parade"
　　　This stage is exclusively for mascots.
　　　It requires a different formation strategy than usual.

・Added Story 6 "Capture the Moment"
　　　High-difficulty stage that unlocks after clearing Story 5.

・Added the event stage "Endless Trials"
　　　This is a challenge stage that unlocks after clearing Story 4.
　　　The battles progressively become more challenging.

■Addition of new features, significant improvements

・Low-cost ver. of Holomem have been implemented, making them easier to deploy!
　　　Previously, the high motivation costs associated with UR talents made them
　　　difficult to use in the early stages of the game, which felt restrictive to many players.
　　　Additionally, their high cost made them very powerful, reducing early-stage gameplay
　　　to simple strategies based solely on whether Holomembers could be deployed.
　　　
　　　In this update, low-cost versions of Holomembers' abilities have been added,
　　　and they are now set as the default. When a Holomember reaches Level 20,
　　　the previous high-cost version is unlocked, and you can switch freely thereafter.
　　　This change makes it easier to deploy Holomembers in the early stages without
　　　compromising strategic depth. It also facilitates formations composed solely of
　　　Holomembers by incorporating the low-cost versions.

All previously acquired Holomembers are unlocked for the high-cost version
　　　regardless of their level.

・Parade Tempo Improvement
　　　The parade now supports switching to 1.5x speed. You can switch at any time
　　　according to the situation using the button at the top right of the parade screen.

・New Feature in Formation/Parade: "Synergy Effect"
　　　This feature activates buffs based on character combinations.
　　　There are passive effects that automatically activate while specific characters
　　　are assembled, and active effects that trigger when the activation button is
　　　pressed while the characters are assembled. While these buffs are not as
　　　significant as the Symphony effects, there are various combinations to explore.

Additionally, a cut-in effect occurs when the Synergy Effect is activated,
　　　enhancing the excitement of the parade!

・Significant improvement in formation flexibility
　　Secondary Instrument
　　　Characters of SR rarity and above now have two designated instruments
　　　and can switch between them.
　　Abolition of Voltage Level
　　　The Voltage Level, which previously increased in conjunction with the Symphony,
　　　has been abolished and replaced with A-chan Level. A-chan Level increases by
　　　consuming motivation during parades and does not interact with the
　　　Symphony effect. This change ensures that the designated instrument now solely
　　　influences the Symphony effect buff, thus removing the strong constraints on
　　　formation that were previously linked to the Voltage Level.
　　A-chan Level
　　　When you consume motivation to increase A-chan Level, four random
　　　enhancement options are displayed, allowing you to choose and extend
　　　capabilities based on the situation. Additionally, while the motivation speed
　　　bonus from leveling up A-chan Level is less significant than the old Voltage Level,
　　　the initial rate of motivation increase has been raised as a substitute.
　　　Please refer to the Help & Tips on the home screen (newly implemented this time)
　　　for more details.

・Support for Steam achievements
　　　In addition to in-game achievements, there are various Steam achievements
　　　available.Achievements that have already been completed will be recognized
　　　as achieved upon game launch.
　　　*Mac ver does not support Steam achievements, and no plans yet for future support.

・New feature for character development: "Bond Level"
　　　The more you parade together, the more their abilities gradually increase.
　　　Nurture your favorite characters with affection.
　　　(Bond Level maxes out at 10, increasing ATK and HP by 10%.)

・Added a limitation on the maximum number of hits for area attacks.
　　　Previously, against bosses with wide-area attacks, even with shields in place,
　　　attacks could reach the backline, requiring a strategy that relied heavily on
　　　firepower. While this was by design, the current change allows for a more
　　　effective use of shields by increasing their availability during marches,
　　　thus somewhat mitigating the impact of area attacks and broadening
　　　strategic options. Additionally, with the changes to the Voltage Level
　　　specifications, the advantage of using cost 1 characters as Voltage Level
　　　boosters has diminished, hence this change also creates more opportunities
　　　for them to act as effective shields.

■Minor Changes
・Made Christmas and New Year's limited-time stages permanent.
　　　The event stages are now permanent, allowing you to
　　　play at your convenience.

・Implemented a Help & Tips screen.
　　　Accessible from the left menu on the home screen.

・Improved the UI of the parade screen.
　　　During the parade, frequently accessed and operated items have been
　　　consolidated at the bottom of the screen. Previously, motivation and
　　　Voltage Level were positioned at the top right, requiring frequent shifts
　　　in gaze, so this has been improved for better accessibility.
　　　
　　　Additionally, whether any talent is currently marching can now be
　　　determined by the lighting on or off of the instrument icons above the
　　　talent icons. Previously, this could only be checked from the status of
　　　the Symphony effects section, which made it difficult to quickly determine
　　　which talents were marching. This improvement facilitates quicker and
　　　clearer visibility.

・Overall strengthening of mascot characters
　　　Release of low-cost versions of Holomembers and other changes
　　　require adjustments. To maintain game balance, enemy abilities have
　　　also been adjusted.

・[4/21 Updated] Reduce the ratio of motivation gained when defeating enemies,
　and also gain motivation when allies are defeated.
　　　This change aims to reduce the advantages for the winning side and provide
　　　more opportunities for a comeback when losing.

・Fubuki's attack now hits two targets and deals an additional 30% damage to bosses.
　　　Adjusted to better utilize 100% defense negation.
　　　Adjusted attack power in accordance with ability changes.

・Changed Marine's attack to target the enemy with the highest max HP within range.
　　　Adjusted to better utilize 50% defense negation and high dps.

・Changed Chocolat's healing amount to gradually decrease over time.
　　　Decreases by 3% each time, starting at 100% and diminishing to a min of 30%.
　　　If multiple units are marched, each will decay independently.
　　　The same applies to Chocolat when appearing as an enemy.
　　　
・Slightly increased the range and attack radius of "Assistant"

・Added sound effects and visual effects when guard negation is activated.

・Adjusted abilities for black aura and gold aura.
　Black aura
　　Block probability：+50% → +40%
　　HP：+100% → +120%
　　ATK：+100%（no change）

Gold aura
　　Block probability：+60% → +50%
　　HP：+200% → +250%
　　ATK：+100%（no change）
　　Block ignore probability：+30%（no change）

For other auras, please refer to the newly implemented "Help & Tips" screen in the game.

・Tutorial Additions/Changes Due to Specification Changes

・Set the maximum number of Scout Tickets to 1000.
　　If you already exceed this limit, it will be maintained, but you will not be able to
　　acquire new tickets.

・Adjusted the maximum zoom-out level during parades to provide a wider view.
