📡 VTuber Dex Guide — Stream Style Is the Type
The VTuber Dex covers virtual YouTubers. What sets it apart from the other dexes is that the hints flow from streams — not stages, not films. The more streams you've kept up with, the more often the very first hint will make you slap your knee.
Four agency categories
Before you start, the VTuber Dex sets its question pool across four categories — Hololive, Nijisanji, Korean, and Others. If there's an agency you mainly watch, turning on just that category is the surest way to tune your difficulty. If you watch across several agencies, turn on the category hint — knowing the agency alone slashes the candidate pool, and that's this dex's defining trait.
Types summarize stream style
VTuber Dex types come from a VTuber's stream style and on-screen character. High-tension energy that yanks viewers up and down? Electric. Calm, healing streams? Water or Fairy. Unpredictable chaos? Somewhere around Dark or Ghost. The impression you actually get from their streams takes priority over lore species or concept elements. Check each type's texture in the Type Dex.
Invented move names compress legendary streams
VTuber Dex move names were invented for this dex, following the one modifier + one action rule. Their source is the VTuber's most iconic streaming moments — famous memes, signature content, the clips fans still bring up. If a move name makes "that stream" flash before your eyes, you're one step from the answer.
You can also enter fan-culture nicknames as valid answers — so when the official name escapes you, try the nickname.
The generation hint is the debut era
The stage-2 generation hint lines up with debut timing. The VTuber scene turns over generations fast, so just gauging "early pioneer or recent debut?" shrinks the field dramatically.
Never watched the streams?
That's fine. The elimination chain — type combination, then generation, then multiple choice — works here too. Especially at the multiple choice stage, start by crossing out the options whose stream tone doesn't match what the types are telling you.
