🦸 Complete Heroes Reference

This guide covers all 7 heroes in Dispatch game, analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, and best use cases. Whether you're dispatching heroes for the first time or optimizing for 100% completion, this guide will help you make the best decisions.

Hero System Overview

In Dispatch game, you play as Robert Robertson, a former superhero who now works as a dispatcher for SDN (Superhero Dispatch Network). Your primary job is to assign the right hero to each emergency call based on their unique stat distributions and abilities. Making smart dispatch decisions directly impacts mission success rates, relationship dynamics, and story outcomes.

How Hero Dispatch Works

When an emergency call comes in, you'll see the mission requirements displayed as stat thresholds. For example, a bank robbery might require Combat 6+ and Vigor 5+. You then select which hero to send based on whether their stats meet or exceed these requirements.

⚡ Key Mechanic: Stat Thresholds

  • Perfect Match (Green): Hero's stat exceeds requirement by 2+ points. Guaranteed success with bonus rewards.
  • Meets Requirement (Yellow): Hero barely meets the threshold. Success likely but may have minor complications.
  • Below Threshold (Red): Hero doesn't meet requirements. High chance of failure, injury, or negative consequences.

Why Hero Choice Matters

Your dispatch decisions affect multiple aspects of the game:

  • Mission Outcomes: Success or failure affects the story and citizen safety
  • Hero Relationships: Repeatedly sending the same hero can improve or worsen their relationship with you
  • Hero Fatigue: Heroes need rest between missions or their performance degrades
  • Story Branching: Some missions unlock unique story events based on which hero you send
  • Achievement Unlocks: Certain achievements require specific hero combinations

Use a diverse rotation of all 7 heroes to trigger unique interactions and story events. Track which heroes you've used in each episode to ensure coverage.

Hero Progression & Development

Unlike traditional RPGs, Dispatch heroes don't have traditional leveling systems. However, hero development happens through relationship progression and story-based character growth.

Relationship Progression

Each hero has a relationship meter with Robert (the player character). This relationship improves through:

  • Sending them on missions they're well-suited for (successful outcomes)
  • Making dialogue choices that align with their values
  • Completing their personal story missions
  • Not overworking them (avoiding hero fatigue)

⚠️ Hero Fatigue System

Sending the same hero on back-to-back missions without rest can lead to:

  • • Reduced stat effectiveness (-1 to -2 points across all stats)
  • • Increased chance of mission failure
  • • Negative dialogue and relationship decline
  • • Potential injury or story consequences

Pro Tip: Rotate your hero pool to keep everyone fresh and maintain optimal performance.

Story-Based Growth

Heroes evolve through the narrative. Key character moments occur in specific episodes, revealing backstory, changing abilities (like Sonar's form-shifting), and unlocking new dialogue options.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Mistake #1: Over-relying on One Hero

New players often find a favorite hero (usually Coupé or Malevola) and send them on every mission.

Why it's bad: Hero fatigue, missed story content, failed missions when that hero is unavailable.

✓ Solution: Maintain a rotation of 3-4 heroes minimum.

❌ Mistake #2: Ignoring Mission Requirements

Sending heroes who don't meet stat thresholds because you want to use them.

Why it's bad: High failure rates, hero injuries, negative story outcomes.

✓ Solution: Always check stat requirements and send qualified heroes.

❌ Mistake #3: Never Using Specialists

Avoiding heroes like Golem or Invisigal because they're "too specialized."

Why it's bad: Missing optimal solutions, harder achievement unlocks, incomplete story arcs.

✓ Solution: Learn when specialists shine and deploy them strategically.

❌ Mistake #4: Ignoring Relationship Meters

Not paying attention to how heroes feel about you and your decisions.

Why it's bad: Locked dialogue options, worse endings, missing character development.

✓ Solution: Check relationship status regularly and make choices heroes support.

Advanced Hero Management Tips

💡 Tip: Mission Preview Analysis

Before selecting a hero, analyze ALL stat requirements. Some missions have secondary requirements that appear after the first wave. Choose heroes who can handle multiple phases.

💡 Tip: Story Synergy

Certain heroes have personal connections to specific mission types. Sending them unlocks unique dialogue and story moments. Example: Sending Sonar on psychological missions often reveals backstory.

💡 Tip: Save Before Major Dispatches

Critical story missions (marked with special icons) can have major consequences. Save before dispatching so you can experiment with different hero choices and see varied outcomes.

💡 Tip: Track Episode-Specific Heroes

Some episodes feature specific heroes prominently in the story. Using those heroes more in that episode enhances narrative cohesion.

🏆 Pro Strategy: The 3-Hero Rotation System

Advanced players use this rotation strategy for optimal results:

  1. 1. Primary Hero (40% of missions): Your best all-rounder (usually Coupé)
  2. 2. Secondary Hero (30% of missions): Balanced backup (Malevola or Prism)
  3. 3. Rotating Specialists (30% of missions): Deploy specialists when perfect matches appear

This system ensures no hero gets fatigued while maximizing mission success rates and story coverage.
