Sonar
The Dual-Form Strategist
Sonar is the Z-Team's most unique hero thanks to his Mega Bat transformation. In his base form, Sonar is an Intellect/Charisma powerhouse — ideal for investigation, hacking, and social scenes. Activate Mega Bat form and his stats flip: Intellect↔Combat and Charisma↔Vigor, turning him into a formidable brawler. Mastering the timing of his transformation is key to maximizing Sonar's potential.

# FAQ
When should I activate Mega Bat form?
When the mission shifts from investigation to combat. Sonar's base form (4★ Intellect, 4★ Charisma) excels at finding clues and talking to NPCs. Once you've gathered intel and combat is imminent, trigger Mega Bat to swap into a 4★ Combat / 4★ Vigor brawler.
How does the Mega Bat stat swap work exactly?
Intellect swaps with Combat, and Charisma swaps with Vigor. So base 3★ Combat becomes 4★ (equal to his Intellect), and base 4★ Charisma becomes 3★ (equal to his base Vigor). Mobility stays at 3★. The swap is temporary — it reverts after combat.
Is Sonar useful without Mega Bat?
Very. His base form is arguably better than Mega Bat — 4★ Intellect handles all puzzle and hacking content, 4★ Charisma passes dialogue checks. Mega Bat is a situational tool, not his main identity.
What missions should I send Sonar on?
Investigation-heavy episodes (2, 5, 7) where you need clues found and puzzles solved. He also shines in social-heavy missions thanks to high Charisma. Avoid sending him on pure combat missions if you can't trigger Mega Bat.
