Beginner's Guide - Start Dispatch Right | Complete Tutorial 2025
New to Dispatch? This complete guide covers everything you need: mechanics, best first choices, avoiding mistakes, and getting strong stat coverage from Episode 1!
🚀 Quick Start (First 30 Minutes)
Complete Tutorial
Follow Episode 1 tutorial. Learn basic controls: assigning heroes, reading mission requirements, checking success rates.
Meet the Heroes
You start with access to 6 heroes. Focus on: Blonde Blazer, Mecha Man, Phenomaman (best early game).
First Mission
Pick 3 heroes matching mission stats. Red = low success (bad), Yellow = medium (risky), Green = high (good). Aim for green!
Episode 1 Choices
Be confident but respectful. Support Blonde Blazer's leadership. Set up romance path if desired.
⚙️ Core Mechanics Explained
📊 Stats (Combat/Intellect/Mobility)
Every hero has 3 stats. Missions require specific stats. Match heroes to mission needs.
- Combat: Fighting, rescues, confrontations
- Intellect: Investigation, hacking, analysis
- Mobility: Speed, flight, chase missions
❤️ Relationships (Friendships/Rivalries)
Relationship and synergy effects can change the final team result. Check every pairing before dispatching.
- 💚 Friendship: Bonus effectiveness
- ⚠️ Rivalry: Major penalty
- - Neutral: No effect
⚡ Energy/Fatigue
Heroes tire after missions. Below 70% energy = poor performance. Let heroes rest!
- 100% energy: Peak performance
- 70-99%: Good performance
- <70%: Reduced effectiveness
💬 Story Choices
Dialogue affects trust & romance paths. Be consistent with your approach.
- Confident = good for Blazer
- Empathetic = good for Invisigal
- Professional = Team Unity path

❌ Avoid These Beginner Mistakes
Ignoring Stats
Don't pick your "favorite" hero. Pick heroes matching mission requirements. Combat mission? Send combat heroes!
Using Tired Heroes
Fatigued heroes fail missions. Let them rest! Build multiple teams and rotate.
Rushing Episode 3 Choice
Episode 3 romance choice is PERMANENT. Don't rush! Save before the choice, read guide first.
Teaming Rivals
Rivalries can weaken a team. Check the active relationship effect before dispatching.
Solo Hero Missions
Always send 3 heroes (unless mission specifies less). More heroes = higher success rate.
