HoloCure – Save the Fans! – Ultra Hardcore Guide

This serves as a guide for you to beat Ultra Hardcore in Holocure, keep in mind that this is my version of Ultra Hardcore.

How to Activate Ultra Hardcore

Сrеdit gоеs to Eito !

In order to activate Ultra Hardcore you must:

• Enable hardcore from shop
• Enable no items
• Enable no weapons
• Signature weapon should be level 1 (Meaning in game immediately eliminate the option to level up your main weapon)

Recommended Characters

So far I’ve only tested with 2 characters, These 2 characters are what I would recommend using:

Amelia Watson

Her skill Bubba is a very useful companion that fights alongside you with great AoE and her special ability Slow Time gives you room to move around when you’re in a sticky situation.

Kureiji Ollie

Her skills Zombie Ninjutsu and Undead are crucial as her basic attack is useless. Undead offers you a chance to revive (be careful of the cooldown) and Zombie Ninjutsu at full charge is your best bet of damage.

I would suggest using Ame as she is easier to use especially with her special ability.

1 more thing, make sure your characters are at least G.Rank 21.

Pregame Preperation

1 thing to do before attempting the challenge is by preparing food buffs in order to make the challenge a little bit easier (Note: Feel free to skip this part however this will help in the long run).

• Pufferfish Meal Set – buffs shown in the image.

• Tuna Sandwich – buffs shown in the image.

• Manta Ray Soup – gain 1 extra life.

Whether you want an extra chance at the challenge in 1 run or extra stat bonuses, pick 1 of the 3 foods.

Note: Make sure your character is in Gachakoi level and have at least G.Rank 21 in order to get the highest amount of stats possible.

In-Game Strategies and Tips

After preparing for the challenge, here are some tips to keep in mind to make life a little bit easier and to improve your success rate:

At level 1, make sure to eliminate the option to level up your main weapon as to make sure when you get supply crates drop it only gives holocoins and furthermore, avoid and ignore anvils.

Prioritize getting Speed stat up as to make dodging easier (very helpful in the long run)

2nd priority should be Crit up and try to aim for above 80% crit stat

Lastly, go for attack up once you’ve at least secured 80% crit and focus on attack and speed from now on

Here are some more tips in game:

• Only use your special ability when you are in a very sticky situation or if you’re swarmed

• Avoid areas with trees and with fences that are obstacles, trust me this will cause most of your runs to fail since you cant see enemies hidden in trees unless you’re inside the leaves

• Always use your special ability when supply crates drop these mana crystals so that your special ability meter refills at full

Conclusion

Once you’ve gone through everything stated in this guide, it is up to your skill and determination to finish this challenge for yourself
