Dispatch FAQ
This FAQ is a navigation aid for the site and for the game. It focuses on how to make cleaner decisions in Dispatch, which page to read next, and where to verify exact store or platform details when those facts actually matter.
What is this FAQ actually for?
This page is for players who want cleaner decisions, not fake encyclopedic certainty. Use it when you need help choosing anchors versus specialists, reading mission pressure, or deciding which part of the site to open next.
Who is safest for a first playthrough?
Malevola is one of the safest first anchors because she lowers the cost of imperfect reads. Sonar is also strong when missions keep pivoting after the opening. Use specialists like Flambe or Invisigal once you know what problem the mission is really built around.
Do I need exact hero stat sheets to play well?
No. What matters more is reading the failure type: force, information, timing, social escalation, or endurance. The stats page exists to explain those categories by mission need, not to sell fake certainty through invented spreadsheets.
How should I read a mission before assigning heroes?
Ask what ends the mission first if answered badly, then ask what goes wrong after the obvious problem is solved. That gives you a lead hero and a coverage hero. The best assignments come from this two-step read, not from chasing the same favorite every time.
When should I favor anchors over specialists?
Favor anchors on blind runs, volatile chapters, or any route where one bad read can damage the next several missions. Favor specialists when the mission's real hinge is obvious and you already know who will cover the aftermath.
How should I think about endings without spoilers?
Think in terms of campaign identity. Trust-first routes, results-first routes, middle paths, and mastery-style routes all come from repeated behavior over time. The endings pages are more useful as route comparisons than as fake final-choice checklists.
What should I do after a rough mission?
Do not only ask who failed. Ask why the route failed: late arrival, wrong read, low cleanup capacity, or poor endurance. That tells you whether the next fix belongs on the builds page, the stats page, or the roster page.
Where should I verify platform, release, or pricing details?
Use the official store listing or the publisher's own pages whenever exact platform or pricing data matters. This site focuses on play decisions and route logic, not on pretending to be the final authority for storefront metadata.
What is the most common first-run mistake?
Treating Dispatch like a pure power-ranking problem. The bigger mistake is not low output. It is sending the wrong kind of hero into the wrong kind of pressure and then repeating that read for three chapters.
Which Page Solves Which Question
| Page | Best For | Use It When |
|---|---|---|
| Characters | Choosing lead and coverage heroes | You know the mission is dangerous, but not yet what kind of danger matters most. |
| Stats | Reading mission failure type | You need to know whether the route is losing to force, information, timing, social pressure, or endurance. |
| Builds | Fixing recurring campaign failures | The squad survives sometimes, but the same weakness keeps returning across multiple missions. |
| Episodes | Understanding chapter pressure | You want to know where the campaign usually changes from learning to recovery, or from recovery to commitment. |
| Endings / All Endings | Comparing route identities | You want to steer a specific finale without pretending the route can be reduced to one fake formula. |
| Latest | Seeing what the site changed recently | You want to know which practical guides were refreshed most recently and why they matter. |
| Official store page | Exact pricing or platform facts | You need precise commercial or storefront details and should not rely on fan-site memory. |
