Realistically you just arent going to be able to replicate the First Army because there is limited available talent and they've basically mined it all
You cant replicate Aqua or Pekora, Aqua is a 5 Tool talent who can Sing, Dance, Be an Idol, Shill and Stream while Pekora is probably the only woman on the planet capable of her level of stream popularity without a significant portion of her popularity relating to her sexuality or appealing to brainzogged Alphabet zoomers who want to watch pseudo-reality content of "nice" people (but I repeat myself)
Then you have Subaru, Suisei and Miko who took years to reach First Army status and you cant really replicate the latter two as the start from nothing is part of their story. Perhaps you can develop a Subaru but you cant hire one
That only leaves Marine and it's really hard to hire a woman who is sociable with a high libido who is still relatable to male otakus, just look at Laplus as an example of how that can go wrong
I am not saying it is impossible but it's a bit like saying "just hire another Gura" the reality is there is not another Gura and even if you find a Mumei that is a rare treasure
Salome is probably the best talent hired in the last couple years and they just missed out on her, Laplus and Chloe would follow her, theyve already mined too much talent and the type of girl who has First Army potential hired in Year 6 of Hololive is not the same as one in Year 1 or 2
