Dispatch Strategy Guide

📝 NOTE: Specific mission tags, stat requirements, and strategy recommendations in this guide are based on community gameplay analysis. The general strategic concepts are sound, but exact mission-to-stat mappings may vary and cannot be fully verified from official sources.

Understanding Mission Requirements

Reading Mission Tags

Each emergency displays specific tags and requirements that hint at needed stats:

Combat Tags:

• “Armed Robbery” → Combat + potential Mobility
• “Villain Attack” → Combat + Vigor
• “Monster Threat” → Combat + Vigor + Charisma
• “Physical Confrontation” → Combat

Intellect Tags:

• “Hacking Required” → Intellect + Mobility
• “Investigation” → Intellect + Charisma
• “Bomb Disposal” → Intellect + Vigor (steady hands)
• “Technical Emergency” → Intellect

Charisma Tags:

• “Hostage Situation” → Charisma + Intellect
• “Crowd Control” → Charisma + Vigor
• “Negotiation” → Charisma
• “Public Relations” → Charisma + Combat (show of strength)

Mobility Tags:

• “Chase in Progress” → Mobility + Combat
• “Time Critical” → Mobility
• “Rescue Operation” → Mobility + Vigor
• “Pursuit” → Mobility

Vigor Tags:

• “Extended Operation” → Vigor + primary mission stat
• “Dangerous Conditions” → Vigor
• “Endurance Required” → Vigor + Combat/Charisma

Hidden Requirements

Some missions have unstated requirements:

• Multi-phase missions: Require balanced teams
• Backup needs: May call for secondary stats mid-mission
• Environmental factors: Affect certain hero types

Strategy: When uncertain, deploy a balanced team or use heroes with multiple high stats.

Optimal Hero Selection

The Match-Making Process

1. Identify Primary Stat: What’s the main requirement?
2. Check Secondary Needs: Are there multiple stat requirements?
3. Assess Hero Availability: Who’s off cooldown?
4. Consider Fatigue: Are available heroes fresh?
5. Check Relationships: Do selected heroes work well together?
6. Verify Success Rate: Use simulator before deploying

Single-Hero Deployments

When to Deploy Solo:

• Mission clearly needs only one stat
• Invisigal’s Wolf Pack XP bonus (solo doubles team XP)
• Hero availability is limited
• Low-risk routine missions

Best Solo Heroes:

• Invisigal: Combat + Mobility + XP bonus
• Coupe: Combat + Intellect + Mobility
• Malevola: Intellect + Charisma for non-combat
• Phenomenon: Low cooldown for frequent solo runs

Solo Mission Strategy:

• Use Invisigal for XP farming
• Deploy specialists to their perfect match missions
• Save multi-hero teams for complex operations

Two-Hero Deployments

When to Deploy Pairs:

• Mission requires two different stats
• Want synergy bonuses from positive relationships
• Need backup for dangerous missions
• Utilizing duplication abilities

Effective Pairs:

Combat + Support:

• Invisigal + Prism (Combat + Charisma)
• Punch Up + Malevola (Tank + Healing)

Speed + Power:

• Coupe + Golem (Mobility + Vigor)
• Invisigal + Punch Up (Speed + Durability)

Social + Intellect:

• Prism + Malevola (Charisma + Intellect)
• Sonar + Malevola (Support + Technical)

Duplication Strategy:

• Deploy Prism adjacent to highest-stat hero
• Prism slot 2, specialist in slot 1 or 3
• Doubles effective team power

Three-Hero Deployments

When to Deploy Trios:

• High-difficulty missions
• Multiple stat requirements
• Uncertain mission parameters
• Critical story missions

Balanced Trio Template:

• Physical: High Combat + Vigor (Punch Up, Coupe)
• Technical: High Intellect (Malevola)
• Social: High Charisma (Prism, Sonar)

Specialized Trios:

Combat Team:

• Invisigal, Coupe, Punch Up
• Overwhelming combat power with speed and durability

Technical Team:

• Malevola, Prism, Invisigal
• Intelligence with social and combat backup

Endurance Team:

• Punch Up, Golem, Sonar
• Maximum survivability for extended operations

Cooldown Management

Understanding Cooldown Timers

After deployment, heroes enter cooldown periods:

• Short missions: 1-2 mission cooldown
• Standard missions: 2-3 mission cooldown
• Extended missions: 3-5 mission cooldown
• Phenomenon exception: 2-second cooldown

Rotation Strategies

The Core Rotation (6 Heroes):

Tier 1 (Primary team):

• Invisigal
• Prism
• Malevola

Tier 2 (Secondary team):

• Punch Up
• Coupe
• Golem/Sonar

Strategy: Alternate between tiers, keeping 3 heroes fresh at all times

The Deep Rotation (8-10 Heroes):

For mission-heavy episodes:

• Maintain 3 teams of 2-3 heroes each
• Rotate systematically
• Always have at least one tier available
• Use Phenomenon as flexible gap-filler

Cooldown Optimization

Best Practices:

1. Track Timers: Know when heroes become available
2. Plan Ahead: Anticipate upcoming mission needs
3. Don’t Overuse Stars: Rotate even your best heroes
4. Emergency Reserve: Keep one strong hero rested for crises
5. Phenomenon Advantage: Use low cooldown for frequent deployments

Fatigue Management

Fatigue Levels

• 0-40% (Fresh): Optimal performance, full stats
• 40-70% (Tired): -5% to -10% effectiveness
• 70-90% (Exhausted): -15% to -25% effectiveness
• 90-100% (Depleted): -30%+ effectiveness, high injury risk

Preventing Fatigue

Rotation Schedule:

• After 1 mission: Still fresh, can redeploy
• After 2 missions: Rest recommended
• After 3 missions: Must rest or risk exhaustion
• After injury: Mandatory rest period

Rest Strategies:

• Rotate after every 2-3 missions
• Keep 6-8 heroes in active rotation
• Use low-fatigue heroes for important missions
• Monitor fatigue levels in hero database

Fatigue Recovery

Natural Recovery: Heroes recover when not deployed Accelerated Recovery:

• Office interactions may boost morale
• Positive story moments can refresh heroes
• Episode transitions reset some fatigue

Team Synergy and Chemistry

Relationship Bonuses

Heroes with positive relationships (+10 or higher) provide bonuses:

• +5% to +15% success rate when deployed together
• Better coordination in multi-phase missions
• Shared experience boosts leveling
• Story benefits unlock special dialogue

Building Relationships

Positive Actions:

• Deploy heroes together frequently
• Succeed at missions as a team
• Choose dialogue options that support team members
• Office interactions that build bonds

Negative Actions:

• Failing missions together
• Choosing conflicting dialogue options
• Ignoring hero personal storylines
• Deploying incompatible personalities together

Optimal Relationship Pairs

Natural Allies (Build these relationships):

• Prism + Malevola (Strategic minds)
• Invisigal + Punch Up (Combat specialists)
• Sonar + Malevola (Support synergy)
• Coupe + Golem (Complementary skills)

Rivalry Management:

• Some heroes have conflicting personalities
• Avoid pairing rivals unless necessary
• Can sometimes improve rivalries through shared success

Mission Prioritization

Simultaneous Emergencies

When multiple missions appear:

Priority Factors:

1. Time Sensitivity: Timed missions first
2. Consequence Severity: Civilian casualties vs property damage
3. Story Importance: Main quest vs side missions
4. Hero Availability: Can you staff all missions?
5. Success Probability: Take missions you can win

Triage Decision Making

High Priority:

• Multiple civilian lives at risk
• Story-critical missions
• Time-limited opportunities
• Missions with cascading failure consequences

Medium Priority:

• Standard emergencies
• Property protection
• Routine villain encounters
• Balanced risk/reward missions

Low Priority:

• Minor incidents
• Low-risk situations
• Missions with minimal consequences
• Can be handled by single low-tier hero

When to Accept Failure:

• Impossible to staff all missions
• Low consequence missions during crisis
• Tactical choice to save heroes for critical upcoming mission

Advanced Dispatch Tactics

The Ability Stacking Strategy

Concept: Deploy multiple heroes with abilities matching mission tags

Implementation:

1. Identify mission tags
2. Select heroes with tag-matching abilities
3. Stack 2-3 matching abilities for massive bonuses

Example:

• Mission tag: “Technical + Social”
• Deploy: Malevola (Intellect ability) + Prism (Charisma ability)
• Result: 30-60% success boost from ability synergy

The Duplication Exploit

Using Prism’s Power:

1. Deploy highest-stat specialist (Slot 1)
2. Deploy Prism (Slot 2)
3. Prism duplicates specialist with half their stats
4. Effectively 1.5x your best hero

Optimal Duplication Targets:

• Combat 6 Invisigal → Creates Combat 3 copy
• Intellect 6 Malevola → Creates Intellect 3 copy
• Charisma 6 Prism → Creates Charisma 3 copy (self-duplication)

The Immortal Tank Strategy

Using Punch Up’s Invincibility:

1. Deploy Punch Up to dangerous missions
2. Let Punch Up take damage (gets stronger)
3. Use as emergency responder for high-risk situations
4. Pair with healer for extended operations

Best Applications:

• Unknown danger missions
• Monster attacks
• Missions where other heroes might die
• Buying time for main team’s cooldown

The Speed Farm Strategy

Using Invisigal’s Wolf Pack:

1. Identify easy solo mission
2. Deploy Invisigal alone
3. Complete quickly with high Mobility
4. Earn double XP for entire team
5. Repeat during mission-heavy episodes

Optimal Farming:

• Episodes 3-4 (many missions available)
• Low-risk combat missions
• When team needs leveling

The Phenomenon Spam

Using 2-Second Cooldown:

1. Deploy Phenomenon to first mission
2. Immediately available for next mission
3. Handle 3-5 missions while others rest
4. Ideal for mission-heavy sequences

Best Use Cases:

• Episode 4 and 6 (many simultaneous missions)
• When primary team is on cooldown
• Lower-difficulty missions
• Filling gaps in rotation

Scenario-Specific Strategies

Scenario 1: Overwhelming Emergencies

Situation: 4+ simultaneous missions, only 6 available heroes

Strategy:

1. Prioritize story-critical and high-casualty missions
2. Deploy strongest heroes to hardest missions
3. Use Phenomenon for quick secondary missions
4. Accept potential failure on low-priority calls
5. Save at least one hero for emergency backup

Scenario 2: All Top Heroes on Cooldown

Situation: Your main team is exhausted

Strategy:

1. Deploy secondary team to moderate missions
2. Use Phenomenon for easy missions
