Party Synergy

Navigate Dispatch Episode 8: Synergy with this comprehensive walkthrough. Learn optimal hero pairings, strategy for hacking sequences, and how to save the city.

In Dispatch Episode 8: Synergy, you'll begin with Prism, Golem, and Punch Up, with opportunities to recruit others like Invisigal. This episode features several critical missions, including 'Return to Crypto Night,' 'Evacuation Order,' 'Capture Experiment 1067,' and 'Bomb Threat,' each requiring specific hero combinations. Failure to complete calls will decrease City HP, so be mindful of the achievement for saving the city.

Key missions involve timed hacking sequences such as 'Locate the Tracker,' 'Locate Sonar/Coupe OR Phenomaman/Waterboy,' and 'Lockdown.' These require precise movement and use of the 'Build path' mechanic to outmaneuver Antivirus threats and reach objectives. For instance, 'Locate the Tracker' involves luring an antivirus away to create a path, while 'Lockdown' requires navigating reversed controls and placing electricity to unlock the exit.

Other significant calls include 'Rescue Flambae,' 'Help Brainbook,' 'Shopping Spree,' and various rescue missions. Some missions, like 'Help Sweetalker,' offer unique dialogue options based on hero skills (Charisma, Intellect) or exclusive character abilities. The episode culminates in weakening the 'Red Ring' by completing calls related to 'Sonar/Coupe' and 'The Torrance Terrors,' 'Attack Coupe/Sonar,' and 'Eastside Gang.' Successfully defending the city unlocks future opportunities, while failure closes them off.

Throughout the episode, pay attention to mission-specific goals like reaching certain Vigor or Combat levels for XP boosts, and adhere to restrictions like Combat or Charisma limits to avoid negative consequences. Special items and heroes like Malevola and Waterboy are crucial for healing during high-risk missions. The walkthrough details hero assignments for each call, including 'Return of the Kaiju,' 'Witch Hunt,' 'Boom!,' 'Escape Artist,' and 'The Summoning,' ensuring you have the right team composition for every challenge.
